Cookie Policy

1. Cookies

Cookies are small data or text files that websites and applications place on your local computer. These cookies can serve different purposes: there are technical cookies (for example, to remember language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session), and tracking cookies (cookies that track your behavior on the internet to offer you an optimal user experience).

The Belgian Electronic Communications Act of 13 June 2005 contains several provisions regarding cookies and their use on websites. The law is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation may be implemented differently in other European member states.

Pitts is established in Belgium and therefore follows Belgian legislation regarding cookies.
