Within the framework of the products and services that we offer, we process the personal data that you communicate to us yourself.

For the use of certain of our products and services, it will be necessary to share personal data with us, for example to create an account when you want to use an application or when you purchase certain of our products or services, etc.

We also collect additional information about your interaction with EK Limburg 2024 vzw websites and services without identifying you as an individual. For example, we receive certain standard information that your browser sends to each website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, the number of visits, and reference websites. We also use tools to analyse websites on our websites in order to obtain information from your browser, including the website you came from, the search engine(s) and keywords you used to find our website, the pages that you visit on our website, the add-ons in your browser, and the width and height of your browser. 

We use technologies such as cookies and web beacons (described below) to obtain information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you perform on our website and services. 

If you receive newsletters or promotional e-mails from EK Limburg 2024 vzw, we can use web beacons, custom links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click so that we can send more focused e-mail communications or other information to you. 

In order to give you a more consistent and personal experience in your interactions with EK Limburg 2024 vzw, the information collected through a EK Limburg 2024 vzw service can be combined with information obtained through other EK Limburg 2024 vzw services. We can also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. We can use the services of other companies that allow us to derive the general geographical area from your IP address so that we can customise certain services in the geographical area in which you are located. 

The EK Limburg 2024 vzw website uses “cookies” - small text files - which are placed on your hard drive by a web server. Cookies contain information that can be read later by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. 

The EK Limburg 2024 vzw website can contain electronic images known as web beacons - sometimes called pixel gifs - that can be used to deliver cookies to our websites and allow us to count the users who have visited these pages and also to provide co-branded services.

We prohibit third parties from using web beacons on our website to collect or view your personal information. 

Lastly, we can also work with other companies that place ads on the EK Limburg 2024 vzw website to place web beacons on their websites so that we are able to develop statistics on how often clicking an ad on the EK Limburg 2024 vzw website, for example, leads to a purchase or other action on the advertiser's website.
