01What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, store information on your device in the same way. Under the ePrivacy rules and Belgian law, the same rules apply to all of them: we may only use strictly necessary storage without your consent. Everything else needs your permission first.
02Strictly necessary (always on)
These are needed for the website and galleries to work. They are not used for tracking and are never shared with advertisers.

Service worker cache | Lets the app load quickly and be installed on your home screen | Browser cache | Until the next update |
03Analytics (optional)
With your consent we use Matomo to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how long. Matomo is hosted for us by Hostinglama in Belgium, not by Google. The data is not used for advertising or sold, and Matomo respects your browser's "Do Not Track" setting.

_pk_ref | Remembers which website referred you | GuestGrid (Matomo) | 6 months |
04Marketing (optional)
With your consent we load Google Tag Manager and Google Ads to measure whether our ads lead to sign-ups and purchases. When you pay, the amount, currency and an order reference are sent to Google as a conversion. Google LLC (USA) receives this data and processes it under its own privacy policy.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | Links ad clicks to conversions | 90 days | |
_gcl_aw | Stores the ad click identifier | 90 days | |
Google domain cookies | Google may set its own cookies on its domains (such as doubleclick.net) | See Google's policy |
05Third-party content without cookies
Some content is loaded from other servers. These providers do not set cookies through our site, but they do see your IP address:
- Google Fonts: the fonts used on our pages
- Unsplash and Pexels: example photos on our information pages
- Mollie: payment pages open on Mollie's own website, where Mollie's cookie policy applies
06Managing your choices
- Change your choices at any time with the settings panel below or "Cookie settings" in the footer.
- We ask for your consent again after 12 months, or sooner if we change how we use cookies.
- You can also delete or block cookies and site data in your browser. Signing in and some gallery features will then stop working until you allow them again.
07Changes to this policy
We update this policy when we add or remove cookies. The date at the top always shows the latest version. Read our Privacy Policy for more about how we handle personal data.
