We are hetpaleis son, with registered office at Meistraat 2, 2000 Antwerp, and company number 0462.144.919.
We use cookies to improve the browsing experience of visitors on our website www.hetpaleis.be. These cookies help us understand how you use our website. This allows us to optimise the performance, functionality, and user-friendliness of our site. Sometimes we also show you advertisements, whether personalised or not, if you have given us your consent.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. They can contain information about your preferences, your browsing behaviour, and your personal data. There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
- First-party cookies are cookies placed by De Roma’s own website. They are usually used to ensure the website functions properly and to provide you with a better user experience. For example, a first-party cookie can remember which language you have selected.
- Third-party cookies are cookies placed by parties other than our website. They are used, for example, to track which pages you have visited or which advertisements you have seen. Each party that places cookies has its own privacy policy, which you can read on their website.
First- and third-party cookies can further be divided into, among others:
- Functional cookies: these cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. For example, they remember your language preference or login details. These are always first-party cookies.
- Analytical cookies: these cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited most or where errors occur. They help us improve the website and optimise the user experience.
- Marketing cookies: these cookies track your browsing behaviour on and beyond the website. They allow us to show you personalised advertisements based on your interests.
Cookies can also be categorised according to their lifespan:
- Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on your device until they expire. They are activated every time you visit the website. Cookies from Facebook or Google Analytics, for example, are persistent cookies. These cookies are usually not necessary for the functioning of the website.
- Session cookies: these cookies are only used while you are browsing the website. They are deleted when you close your browser. They help make your actions on the website easier. These cookies are usually necessary for the functioning of the website.
Which cookies do we use?
Cookies and similar technologies are used on our website to collect data. This data helps us improve the functioning of the website, understand users’ interests, and measure the effectiveness of content. Although these technologies are not specifically intended to identify users, they may collect personal data such as your IP address, the date and time of your visit to our website, and the internet address of the website from which you linked to our site.
In addition to functional cookies, we also use various types of non-functional cookies (both first- and third-party cookies). These serve statistical, social, commercial, and targeting purposes. In short, they help us better tailor our website to your needs and interests.
Our website uses cookies from the following domains:
- Google Analytics: Through these analytical cookies, we gain information about the number of visitors, visitor sessions, and the channel through which our website was visited.
- Facebook/Meta: We use the Facebook pixel and custom audiences for targeting purposes. This allows us to show you more relevant advertisements. These are marketing cookies.
