1. Cookies

Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites and applications. Such cookies can serve various purposes: there are technical cookies (for example, for keeping track of language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session), and tracking cookies (cookies that follow and track your behavior on the internet to offer you a more optimal user experience).

The Belgian Electronic Communications Act of 13 June 2005 contains several provisions regarding cookies and their use on websites. The law is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation may be implemented differently in other European member states.

BRAINTRAIN is based in Belgium and consequently follows Belgian legislation regarding cookies.
