Who is responsible?
I’m Milo Vandaele from Lede, Belgium. I’m responsible for how cookies are used on this site. Reach me at [email protected].
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you use a website. Similar technologies such as local storage can achieve comparable results. This site uses cookies and local storage for necessary site functions and, if you consent, for analytics.
Which cookies does this site use?
These types:
- Necessary cookies: required for the site to work (language preference and storing your cookie choice).
- reCAPTCHA: Google spam protection on the contact form.
- Analytics cookies: optional Google Analytics measurement, only after consent.
This site does not use marketing cookies, advertising networks, or social-media tracking pixels.
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and remembering essential preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. No consent is required for necessary cookies.
On this site they are used to:
- Remember your language choice (EN/NL)
- Store your cookie consent decision, consent ID, and timestamp locally in your browser
Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6 (1) (f) (legitimate interest in providing a working website and remembering your settings).
reCAPTCHA cookies (contact form)
When you use the contact form, Google reCAPTCHA may set cookies or use similar techniques to distinguish humans from bots and protect the form against spam. Those cookies are needed for the form’s security check to work.
Google may process technical data for that purpose under its own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. More detail is also in the Privacy policy.
Analytics cookies
With your consent, Google Analytics may collect statistics about how this site is used so I can improve content and performance. Typical data points can include:
- Anonymised or truncated IP-related signals
- Technical details such as browser, device type, screen resolution, and language
- Pages visited, time on site, and referral source
- Whether key actions on the site are used
Analytics cookies load only after you choose Accept all or enable Analytics in Customize choice. Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6 (1) (a) (consent). You can withdraw consent at any time.
Google acts as analytics provider and processes data under its own terms and privacy policy. See Google’s Analytics documentation and Privacy Policy.
Third-party cookies
If you consent to analytics, cookies or similar identifiers may be set by Google Analytics. Google reCAPTCHA may also set cookies when you use the contact form. This site does not use marketing or social-media advertising cookies.
Manage or withdraw consent
Use to change or withdraw analytics consent. Necessary cookies remain active because the site needs them.
When you contact me about your consent, please include your consent ID and date (shown in the About tab of Customize choice).
Browser settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or warn before storing cookies). If you block all cookies, parts of this site may not work correctly (for example language preference or remembering consent).
