The War Dead Register site manages a range of personal data to be divided into different sub-types. Some only require user notification, while others require user consent.
 

The Belgian Data Protection Authority defines a cookie as information stored in a text file, such as language choice for a website. When visiting the website again later, the cookie is sent back to the concerned website. In this way, the website recognizes the browser and, for example, remembers language choice.

Cookies usually also have an expiration date. Some cookies are automatically deleted when closing the browser (i.e. session cookies), while others have a longer lifespan, sometimes even until they are manually removed (i.e. permanent cookies).

However, other tracking mechanisms may fall under the ‘cookie regulations’ as well (see the broad definition included in Article 10/2 of the law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the personal data processing).

* strictly necessary functional cookies.
