Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data or text files that are placed on your local computer by websites and applications. Such cookies can serve various purposes: there are technical cookies (for example, for language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies), and tracking cookies (cookies that track and monitor your behavior on the website in order to offer you a more optimal user experience).
The Belgian Electronic Communications Act contains several provisions regarding cookies and their use on websites. The Belgian implementation is derived from the European e-Privacy Directive, which implies that cookie usage and cookie legislation are regulated differently in every European country. FCO Media is an online trading platform that focuses primarily on the Belgian market and consequently follows the Belgian interpretation.

5. I am not from Belgium. Is a different form of consent required for my country?
It is possible that not only Belgian nationals visit the webshop. European member states often implement cookie legislation very differently, making it difficult for the data subject to determine how his or her consent should be given. FCO Media strives to pursue the correct implementation method per member state, insofar as this is technically and materially possible.
6. What are my rights?
Since cookies may constitute the processing of personal data, as a data subject you have the right to the lawful and secure processing of personal data. As a data subject, you can exercise the following rights:
- Right to object: if there are compelling and justified reasons, you may object to the processing of personal data.
- Right of access: Every data subject who proves their identity has a right of access to information regarding whether or not their personal data are being processed, as well as the purposes of this processing, the categories of data to which these processing operations relate, and the categories of recipients to whom the data are disclosed.
- Right to rectification: Inaccurate or incomplete personal data can always be corrected or even erased at the request of the data subject.
The exercise of these rights takes place in accordance with the modalities as determined in our Privacy Policy. Should you still have questions or comments regarding cookies after reading this Cookie Policy, you can always contact us: info@fcomedia.be
