What are cookies?
Cookies are small text and data files that are saved, for example on your computer, tablet or smartphone, when you visit our website. These text files contain (anonymised) information that is saved and can be recognised by our website at the time of a later visit. Some cookies are necessary to ensure that the website functions properly, other cookies are handy to ensure that you don’t have to keep inputting the same information, and other cookies still allow website administrators and advertisers to place targeted ads. The use of cookies on our websites is important for Basic-Fit, which is why we wish to inform you as best as possible on Basic-Fit’s use of cookies.
TYPES OF COOKIE
Basic-Fit websites make use of different types of cookie. They are categorised as follows:
1. FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
These cookies are necessary for the Basic-Fit websites to work properly. Without these cookies the websites or parts of the websites don’t work, for example your login, or preferences such as language choices are not remembered.
2. ANALYTICAL COOKIES
Analytical cookies are used to improve the website. With this information, which is saved anonymously, we can see which pages have the most visits, which pages deliver error messages, which browser visitors use etc. In this way, we can monitor the quality and effectiveness of the website and improve its user-friendliness. Basic-Fit does not track individual visitors.
3. NON-FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
All other cookies are non-functional cookies and are only used with the prior consent of our website visitors.
These cookies are used for example to:
- Optimise online campaigns and for example prevent you always seeing the same advert
- Record how many people click on an ad, for advertiser payments
- register websites you visit to ascertain your interests and be able to provide you with relevant content and advertisements
- Find out whether you have clicked on an advert
- Provide information on your browsing behaviour to other websites
- Enable use of third-party services to be able to show you ads
Basic-Fit therefore asks for your permission for the use of these non-functional cookies.
4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Advertisers (whether contracted by Basic-Fit or not) use their own cookies on Basic-Fit’s website to show you advertisements deemed relevant to you. For this, your consent will first be asked.
