COOKIE POLICY
1. Cookies
Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites or applications. Such cookies may serve different purposes. A distinction is made between functional cookies (for example, when you make a language choice or add purchases to your shopping cart), session (temporary) cookies and tracking cookies (which analyze and record your behavior on the website in question in order to provide you with an optimal user experience).
The Belgian law of June 13, 2005 on electronic communications contains a number of provisions relating to cookies and their use on websites. The application of Belgian law stems from the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that the use of cookies and their regulation at national level differ from one European country to another.
SBS Studbook is a non-profit association active on the Belgian market and therefore follows Belgian legislation in this respect.
