Cookie policy

1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data or text files placed locally on your computer or mobile device by websites or applications. These small files can store different types of information, such as your choice of language for a specific website, for example, which will allow you to view that site in your preferred language the next time you visit. Such cookies can serve different purposes.

The Belgian law of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications contains a number of provisions relating to cookies and their use on websites. The application of the Belgian law is based on the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that the use of cookies and their regulation at national level differs in the European countries since they have to implement the directive in national law.

FLS Europe (“We/our“) is a company operating in the Belgian market and therefore follows the relevant Belgian and European legislation.
