1. What are cookies?
Cookies are miniature files or pieces of information that are stored on your device (such as your computer but also, for example, your smartphone or tablet) when you visit the nazka mapps website. These classic cookies are only active when you visit our website, for the remainder of the time they stay in sleep mode. In addition, due to Belgian law, certain metafiles which contain information exchanged between your device and the server and are stored either on your device or our servers also fall under this heading.
Cookies support the communication between your device and our servers. They also contribute to the performance of the server, to anonymous user statistics for the different nazka mapps-websites and to a range of other useful features. Cookies are small in size and usually consist of the name of the website where the cookie is from, the “lifespan” of the cookie (i.e. how long the cookie will remain on your computer/device) and an assigned value. For more information about the longevity of classic cookies and meta files click here.
Which Categories of cookies do we use?
The website uses classic cookies for the following general purposes:
Strictly necessary or essential cookies: so that you as a visitor can see the website, to be able to use the various functions on the website and access the pages that require registration. When the use of these cookies is blocked, some parts of the website cannot be viewed and/or used.

Third-party cookies in this category help us compile statistics based on http cookies and technical information, such as browser data.

Functional cookies: to be able to recognize you as a returning visitor and to save and remember any preferences, which were prompted on previous visits to the website. This means that our cookies can save your login details and/or password to automatically complete login forms on your next visit to the website. By doing this, the user friendliness of the website is improved. Third party cookies in this category ensure user-friendly access to social media, media services & online tools.

What is the Lifespan of cookies Stored on my Device?
Cookies created by nazka mapps have a maximum lifespan of 6 months. This means that our cookies will automatically deactivate 6 months after their installation in your browser. If, after this 6-month period has expired, you choose to revisit one of our websites, our cookies will be reinstalled or reactivated. The lifetime of these new cookies is again limited to 6 months.
Some of the cookies that are used on our websites are not developed by nazka mapps itself (for reference see section 4). These cookies usually do not have a built-in lifetime of 6 months. With regard to these third-party cookies two main types are discernable: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your computer or device until you leave the nazka mapps website or close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your device even after closing the browser. Since this type of cookie is stored in your browser and these cookies are not able to contact nazka mapps when you are not located on the nazka mapps website, you can only manually remove this type of cookie. Most browsers will also automatically delete these cookies if they remain unused. This depends on both your browser settings and the lifespan of the specific cookie.

This way you will only receive cookies from nazka mapps itself, all subject to this cookie policy. If you disable third-party cookies, this may affect your experience on the nazka mapps website.
Your agreement to this cookie policy shall also qualify as an agreement regarding the use of the third-party cookies mentioned above.
