What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your computer when you visit websites. Information is stored in this text file, such as your language preference for a website. If you visit the website again later, this cookie will be sent to the website again. In this way, the website recognizes your browser and, for example, your language preference will be remembered.
Cookies usually also have an expiration period. For example, some cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called session cookie). Other cookies remain on your computer for a longer period of time, sometimes even until you manually delete them (the so-called persistent cookie).
Why do we use cookies?
Food Blending, the operator of this website, uses four types of cookies on www.foodblending.be.
- cookies for functional purposes (these are technically essential)
- cookies for analytical purposes
- social media cookies
- cookies for advertising
The WordPress software is used to keep the content of our website up-to-date. This software uses functional cookies. This means that these cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website.
The external tool Google Analytics is used for analytical purposes. This tool makes it possible to gain insight into (the evolution of) a website visit.
Google Analytics is installed on Google servers. This therefore concerns third party cookies. The web editor has no control over the information that Google collects through those cookies and cannot guarantee that Google will not use the information obtained for other purposes. Your permission is requested in advance for the use of cookies for analysis purposes. You can therefore refuse to have these cookies placed on your device.
The cookies for social media ensure optimal interaction with social media channels such as Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Cookies are also kept for advertisements on March, to optimize the advertisements based on your surfing behavior.
