Document background
The Cookie Notice Text is a fundamental privacy document required for any website accessible to users in Belgium. This document is mandated by both EU GDPR requirements and Belgian national law, specifically the Belgian Act on Electronic Communications and related data protection regulations. The notice must be prominently displayed when users first visit the website and should be easily accessible thereafter. It serves to inform users about how cookies and similar technologies are used to track their behavior, collect their data, and how this data is processed. The document must include clear information about cookie types, purposes, duration, and user consent options, while also providing straightforward methods for users to manage their cookie preferences. Given Belgium's multilingual nature, organizations often need to provide this notice in multiple languages (Dutch, French, and sometimes German) to ensure accessibility for all users.
