Cookie Policy

1. Who are the parties?

In this Cookie Policy, the parties are understood to be as follows:

“N-VA”: New Flemish Alliance vzw, with registered office at Koningsstraat 47, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium, registered under company number 0407.762.759.
“User” or “you”: any natural person or legal person who is or comes to be in a relationship of any nature whatsoever with the N-VA via its online platform.
“Law”: Article 129 of the Law on electronic communication, as amended by Law 2012-07-10/04, Article 90, 017; (entry into force: 04-08-2012) (URL).

2. What are cookies and why are they important?

Cookies are small text files that websites save on your computer or mobile device.

They gather information about, for example, your personal preferences, website visit and device, in order to improve the functionality and user experience of those websites.

Some cookies directly or indirectly gather personal data and are therefore privacy-sensitive. For that reason they are also covered by European and Belgian legislation.

The use of cookies is regulated by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union via the e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC.

In the meantime, all EU Member States have transposed this Directive into national legislation. This implies that the use of cookies and the legislation on cookies is regulated differently in each European country.

In Belgium, this is done via an adapted version of Article 129 of the Law of 13 June 2005 on electronic communication.

3. What cookies does the N-VA use and for what purposes?

Types of cookies

Four different categories of cookies are used on the N-VA website:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary, otherwise the website will not work. These cookies cannot be switched off. In most cases, these cookies are only used in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in to the website or filling in a form. You can set your browser to block these cookies or to alert you to these cookies, but some parts of the website will not work if you do not accept them. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Functional cookies

These cookies allow the website to provide additional functions and personal settings. They can be set by the N-VA or by third-party providers of services that the N-VA has placed on its website pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not work correctly.

Targeting cookies

These cookies can be set by advertisers on the N-VA website. They may be used by those companies to compile a profile of your interests and display relevant advertisements to you on other websites. They do not store direct personal information, but are based on unique identifiers of your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, the advertisements you see will be less relevant to you.

Performance cookies

These cookies enable the N-VA to count visitors and their origin in order to analyse and improve the performance of the website. They help the N-VA to understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move through the whole site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, the N-VA will not know when you have visited its site.

Specific overview

You can find an overview of the cookies used by the N-VA on its website in the preference menu. You can find it by clicking the “Cookies Settings” button at the bottom. The cookies are listed under “Cookie details” by category.

4. How can I manage my cookies?

The N-VA wants to give you as much control as possible over the use of cookies. For this reason, you can manage the use of cookies, both via the preference menu and via your browser.

Via the preference menu

Are you visiting the website for the first time? Then you are given the possibility of accepting the cookies or switching off specific cookies via “Cookies Settings”. You can adjust the use of cookies by cookie category in the preference menu at any time. Once you have made changes and clicked the “Confirm my choice” button, the new settings will be saved. On your next visit, you will notice that we have retained those new cookie settings. The data that the N-VA may possibly collect via these cookies are always anonymous. In this way, identification will therefore never be possible.

Via the browser

You can also manage or block the installation of cookies via your browser settings. You can delete cookies that have already been installed on your computer or mobile device at any time.

The way in which you can adjust the settings varies from browser to browser. Please consult your browser’s help function if necessary or use these links to go directly to the instructions for your browser: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
