The GDPR also applies to cookies. The processes related to these cookies comply with our privacy policy. Below you will find detailed information on the types of cookies used on our Site as well as the options you have to manage your preferences.

What is a Cookie?

Most websites use cookies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer's hard drive when you visit a site. This small file contains the cookie's name, the value (which can be a unique code), the expiration date, and the domain name to which the cookie can be sent if you visit the same site again. Thanks to the cookie, the server can recognize your computer and can even adapt to your browsing behavior.

Cookies help you access information faster because certain data – like language preferences – are automatically set from the second visit onwards. As a result, the website recognizes you.

Cookies do not necessarily cause problems, but it's good to know they can also be used for other purposes.

There are e-marketing professionals and online stores that use cookies and other software to track your browsing habits. They analyze your behavior and link it to your personal data, usually provided by you through an electronic form. By combining these two types of information, a detailed profile of your complete consumer habits is created – online and elsewhere. This consumer profile helps target ads better, making them more effective.

Most internet browsers can be configured to accept or reject cookies.

When you reject a cookie, navigation is generally more difficult or sometimes impossible.

Your Consent

The use of cookies that allow your identification requires your prior and explicit consent. You can always change your mind later and refuse these cookies and/or delete them at any time by modifying your browser settings.

The warning message on the homepage allows you to give your consent to our cookie policy. By refusing this consent, you can still access the public parts of the site, but some functions will be limited or unavailable as indicated below.

Different types of cookies used

Strictly necessary navigation cookies:

These cookies are required to allow the visit of the Sites and the use of certain parts of them. These cookies only contain your IP address, necessary for your internet navigation. They allow you to: 

  • Navigate between different sections within the website and help you return to previous pages
  • Complete forms.
  • Safely verify your identity before granting access to your personal information when a personal account has been created.

Your browser settings allow you to control these cookies but if you refuse these cookies, some sections of the website will not function properly, or not at all.

Functional cookies:

These cookies are intended to facilitate and analyze the operation of our websites and to make their use more pleasant and personalized. They notably allow you to: 

  • Customize services by remembering your preferences (language, currency, location, browsing data, etc.)
  • Avoid repeating your choices at each visit to the site
  • Collect information submitted in online forms.
  • Establish statistics (e.g., the number of unique visitors)
  • Analyze site usage and the popularity of our pages

Third-party cookies:

When you visit our Sites, socio-demographic and profile data are collected to be stored anonymously in a commercial cookie. Cookies are placed via our Sites by Google.

They help improve the site’s content and operation through the use of Google Analytics.

Our site may also include embedded content from external platforms. These platforms may place their own cookies when you view or interact with this content.

RMB does not control the collection performed by these third parties and invites you to consult their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information about how your data is used and how to configure your choices.

If you have chosen to restrict third-party cookies via your browser settings, some embedded content may not display correctly. 

Social Buttons

You will find "social buttons" in the header of the Sites. They allow you to access our various networks. Social media such as Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn may collect information about your internet activity. They may record information if you visit specific platforms and pages, if you are logged into their services, even if you do not click the button. It is recommended that you check the data and cookie privacy policies of each of these sites to know exactly how they use your information and how to refuse or delete this information.

Cookie Management

Most web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser to accept or block cookies.

You can delete cookies already stored on your computer or mobile device at any time. Any settings you make may change your internet browsing experience and access to certain services that require cookies.

However, we cannot guarantee access to all the services on our Sites if you refuse to allow cookies.

Rejecting cookies does not mean you will see no online advertising. It simply means that the services you receive will not be based on your presumed interests (related to your browsing on the rmb.be website). Additionally, you may still receive behavioral ads from other companies if you have not refused their cookies.

In your browser settings, you can choose to refuse cookie installation. How to enable or disable cookies and delete them depends on your device and web browser.

You can configure your browser software so that:

  • cookies are saved on your device or, conversely, are refused, either always or depending on the issuer.
  • you are occasionally asked to accept or refuse cookies before a cookie may be saved on your device.

Your cookies will be processed only for the strictly necessary duration for their intended purpose, then deleted afterward.

Cookie Agreement

Storing a cookie on a device requires the prior consent of the device user, which they can give and change at any time for free through the options provided by their browsing software.

If you accepted cookie storage in your browsing software, cookies embedded in the pages and content you viewed may be temporarily stored in a dedicated area of your device. They will only be readable by their issuer.

Cookie Refusal

If you refuse to allow certain types of cookies to be stored on your device, or if you delete those already stored, you will no longer be able to access certain features that are nonetheless necessary to navigate some areas of our site. This would be the case if you try to access our content or services that require you to log in. It would also apply when we—or our providers—cannot recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your device, its language and display settings, or the country from which your device appears to be connected to the Internet.

In such cases, we disclaim all liability for consequences related to the degraded functioning of our services resulting from our inability to store or access the cookies necessary for their operation that you have refused or deleted.

If you wish to refuse commercial cookies (including Google), you can do so using the following website:
