How we use cookies
We believe it is important to offer tailored services and to optimize your user experience. To do this, ESSENTIEL Antwerp uses cookies, pixels and similar technologies that help us to facilitate the use of the website and improve its functionality.
In addition to the necessary cookies, we embedded social plug-ins (e.g. share or like buttons) and the Facebook/Google-pixel in our website. They send those third parties information about your device (e.g. IP address and browser string), how you use our services, which pages you visit, the purchases you make and the ads you see. That transfer occurs automatically when you visit our website, irrespective of whether or not you have an account. The pixels are used to place targeted ads on the third party’s website, to help us regulate the advertisements and measure their effectiveness. Also, we may create target groups based on email addresses, mobile phone numbers, or visitors to our website and target them with personalized ads through these channels. For more information about the further processing by these third parties, we recommend that you consult their cookie policy.
Unless you have adjusted your browser settings to disable cookies, our system will place cookies on your browser as soon as you visit our Website. Below you can read more information about our use of cookies and how you as a user can adjust your preferences.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text fragments that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies allow for the recognition of visitors’ browsers and enable you to browse a website faster and more easily. They also ensure that your personal settings and preferences are stored so that, for example, when you visit the website again, you do not have to select your preferred language again.
Types of cookies
Our cookies may be subdivided according to their origin, function and lifetime.
1. Origin
First party cookies are cookies that are placed by the Website that is currently being visited by the user (e.g. cookies placed by www.essentiel-antwerp.com)
Third party cookies are cookies that are placed by a domain name other than that of the Website visited by the user. If a user visits a Website and a third party places a cookie via that Website, this is a third-party cookie (e.g. cookies placed by Google, Twitter and Facebook).
2. Function
Essential cookies are technical cookies that are necessary for the functioning of the Website. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function smoothly and various functionalities cannot be offered.
Functional cookies are cookies that ensure that the Website functions properly and guarantee a faster and more efficient use (e.g. cookies for log-in, language preference and shopping basket). Functional cookies are basically first party cookies.
Analytical cookies collect statistical information, which is used anonymously to improve our website for you. For example, we can determine which pages are frequently visited and which pages are not sufficiently visible.
Social media cookies are used to enable the integration of social network sites on our Website.
Advertising cookies allow to create a user profile based on your surfing behaviour so that the ads shown are tailored to your interests.
3. Lifetime
Persistent cookies These cookies remain on the user's device for the duration specified in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the Website that places this cookie (e.g. cookies placed by social media such as Instagram, Facebook or Google Analytics). Most non-functional cookies are persistent cookies.
Session cookies These cookies allow you to simplify and link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser screen and ends when the user closes the browser screen. Session cookies are placed temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Most functional cookies are session cookies.
