Cookie Policy
How this website uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and the settings that let you control them.
This Cookie Policy explains how ViewTech Digital uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.
The site is operated by VANKEIRSBILCK KRIST HERLINDE, Rue Royale 145, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium. Cookies are part of how a modern website works, and this page sets out what we use on this site, what each type does, and how you can change your mind. Nothing here is written to persuade you; it is written so you can make a clear decision about your own browser.
If you read nothing else, the short version is this: a small number of cookies keep the site working, a small number tell us which articles get read, and your browser settings remain the final word on both.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information between pages or visits, such as your preferences. A cookie is not a program and it cannot run on your device; it is a short note the site leaves for itself and reads back the next time you arrive.
Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy. The practical difference is where the note is kept and how long it survives: a cookie travels with the site's request, while local storage stays in your browser until it is cleared.
Two things a cookie can do
It can remember a state inside one visit, so a half-finished form is still there when you come back to the tab. It can also remember you between visits, so a preference you set last week is still applied this week. Anything beyond those two jobs is a choice the site makes, and this page describes the choices we have made here.
How we use cookies
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function correctly, such as remembering form state during a session. We may also use basic analytical cookies to understand which pages are read and how visitors move through the site.
These are used in aggregate and are not intended to identify individual visitors. In practice that means we look at counts and paths, not at who you are: which guides get opened, where readers stop, and which page they leave from.
Function
Keeping the site steady
Remembering form state, keeping a session consistent between pages, and holding the choices you have already made on this site.
Measurement
Knowing which pages get read
Counting visits and page views so we can tell whether an article answered the question it was written for.
Boundary
What we do not do
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell data gathered through them.
Types of cookies
Two categories cover everything currently set on this site. If any additional cookies are introduced, this page will describe their purpose and duration before or at the moment they appear.
Strictly necessary
These support core functions and cannot be switched off through the site itself. They carry a session so that a form does not lose what you typed, and they record the choice you made in the consent notice so it is not asked again on every page. Blocking them in your browser may stop parts of the site from working.
Analytical
These help us measure usage and improve content. They tell us how many people opened a guide, which sections were read to the end, and which page sent the reader onward. Reports are reviewed as totals, and we do not attempt to match a visit to a named person.
Anything added later
If a new cookie is needed for a feature we add, its name, purpose and how long it lasts will be listed on this page. Until it is listed here, you can assume it is not set by us.
Browser settings are usually three clicks away, and they override anything this site would prefer.
Managing cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works, including form submission, so it is worth testing one change at a time rather than switching everything off at once.
Instructions are available in the help section of your browser. The wording differs between browsers, but the settings you are looking for are usually grouped under privacy, site data, or content settings. If you clear everything, the consent choice on this site is cleared with it and you will be asked again on your next visit.
Deleting cookies does not remove anything else from your device, and it does not stop you from reading any page on this site. It only removes the notes the site had left for itself.
Third-party services
Some features may rely on third-party services that set their own cookies. We aim to keep third-party usage to a minimum.
The two services that could set a cookie here are the form handler that delivers messages sent through the contact form, and the analytics provider that reports page usage. Both operate under their own policies, which we do not control and cannot change.
Where a provider offers a choice about how data is handled, we take the setting that collects the least. If a feature needs a third-party cookie to work, it is named here rather than left to be discovered in a browser inspector.
Because these providers set their own cookies, blocking them works the same way as blocking ours: through your browser's privacy or site data settings, or through any control the provider itself offers.
Changes and questions
We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The current version is always published on this page. Material changes will be reflected in the description above, so the sections you are reading now are the record of what applies.
Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact form. Please include enough detail for us to identify the issue you are describing, such as the page you were on and what the browser reported.
