This cookie policy explains how the Belgian Finance Center's website https://www.belfinclub.be uses cookies and similar technologies, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive.

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file placed and stored on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognize your device on future visits, remember your preferences, or collect browsing data for various purposes (technical, statistical, marketing, etc.).

2. What types of cookies do we use and for what purpose?

2.1 Only strictly necessary cookies are used for the website's functionality.

We only use strictly necessary (essential) cookies on our website. These cookies are vital for the technical operation of the website and the provision of our services.

They enable:

• login session management
• session security
• temporary session data storage (up to 30 minutes of inactivity)

The website www.belfinclub.be currently does not use any cookies for audience measurement, tracking or marketing. No tracking technologies or third-party cookies are active on our website.

2.2 Characteristics of essential cookies:

• These cookies do not require user consent as they are strictly necessary for the website to function.
• They are temporary, valid only for the session.
• Their retention period is limited to 30 minutes of inactivity.
• They are not used for tracking, profiling or statistical purposes.

3. What data is collected via these cookies?

The use of essential cookies may involve the processing of the following data:

• information voluntarily provided during the creation of a member account (login credentials);
• standard server logs (IP address, browser type, access date and time), used solely for technical and security purposes.

This data is automatically deleted at the end of the session and is not used for analytics or shared with third parties.

4. How to manage your cookie preferences?

Since no consent-based cookies are currently in use, a purely informational cookie banner is displayed on this website to inform users and ensure transparency regarding the use of strictly necessary cookies, which are essential for the technical functioning of the site.

If the Belgian Finance Center adds non-essential cookies in the future (e.g., analytics), users will have the opportunity to give or refuse their consent through a compliant cookie banner based on an opt-in mechanism. They will also be able to manage their cookie preferences at any time using a dedicated cookie management tool.

5. Updates to this policy

This policy may be updated at any time, especially in the event of technical changes to the website, the addition of new trackers requiring consent or regulatory developments.

The Belgian Finance Center commits to informing users in the event of substantial modifications and, where required, to obtain their prior consent before enabling non-essential cookies.
