Cookies policy

1. What are cookies ?

Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites or applications. Such cookies may pursue different purposes. We distinguish in particular functional cookies (for example, when you make a language choice or add purchases to your "cart"), session cookies (temporary) and tracking cookies (which analyse and record the behaviour you adopt on the website in question in order to offer you an optimal user experience).

The Belgian Act of 13 June 2005 concerning electronic communications contains some provisions relating to cookies and their use on websites. The application of Belgian law follows from the European e‑Privacy directive, which implies that the use of cookies and their regulation at national level differ from country to country.

Fausto LP is a company active on the Belgian market ; it therefore follows Belgian legislation in this matter.
