Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This cookie policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on iankafleerackers.com, what they do, how long they last, and how you can change your choices. It complements our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

This site is operated by ianka fleerackers Comm. V. (Nieuwstraat 84, 2880 Bornem, Belgium · VAT BE 0824.677.865). The legal framework is the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Belgian implementation of the ePrivacy Directive (Article 129 of the Electronic Communications Act).

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site (or a third party) to remember information about you — your preferences, whether you are logged in, or how you use the site. Some cookies are essential for the site to work. Others are used for analytics, marketing, or to embed third-party services.

Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixels — perform comparable functions. Where we use them, they are governed by the same rules as cookies.

3. The cookies we use

We aim to keep this site as cookie-light as possible. We only set one first-party cookie ourselves, and one third-party service (Airtable) may set cookies when you load the contact form.

What we do not set

We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, TikTok Pixel, or any other marketing or advertising tracker on this site. Vercel Analytics, which we use to count visits, does not set cookies — it uses an anonymous, hash-based method that requires no personal identifiers. If we ever introduce a tool that does set marketing cookies, we will update this policy and ask for fresh consent before activating it.

4. Your choices

The cookie banner

When you visit the site for the first time, a banner at the bottom of the page presents two choices:

• Decline optional. Only strictly necessary cookies are stored. The contact form on /contact is still embedded from Airtable; loading it may set Airtable's own cookies regardless of your choice here, because those are set by the iframe content itself. If this concerns you, you can email us directly at legal@iankafleerackers.com instead of using the form.
• Accept all. All cookies described above are allowed. There are currently no additional cookies beyond what is listed in section 3 — but accepting also covers any future analytics or embed tools we may add (subject to a renewed banner if they introduce a new category).

Your choice is saved for 12 months. After that, the banner appears again. You can also reset your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser — the banner will then reappear on your next visit.

Browser-level controls

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is different — search for “cookies” in your browser's preferences. You can:

• See which cookies are currently stored.
• Delete cookies for a specific site, or for all sites.
• Block third-party cookies entirely.
• Set the browser to ask each time before storing a cookie (not recommended — it is disruptive to everyday browsing).

Tools like the EFF Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin can also block tracking automatically. We respect this — blocking will not break the site.

5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Our site does not currently react to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals or Global Privacy Control (GPC), because the only cookie we set is strictly necessary and is not a tracking cookie. If we add analytics or marketing tools in the future, we will honour GPC where technically possible.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves — for example, if we add a new tool that sets cookies, or change a provider. When we do, we update the version number and date at the top. For changes that introduce a new cookie category (analytics, marketing) we will show a renewed cookie banner before any new cookie is set.
