  1. Notification

This cookie policy describes how Fabbe Sport uses 'cookie' technology through its webshop or other online products and services (hereinafter referred to as “Online Services”).

A cookie is a text file that is placed in the browser of your computer or mobile device by the server of a website when you consult the website or another online environment. The cookie contains a unique code that allows your browser to be recognized during the visit to the website (a so-called 'session' cookie) or during later, repeated visits (a so-called 'permanent' cookie). Cookies can be placed by the server of the website that you visit or by partners with whom this website collaborates. The server of a website can only read the cookies that it has placed itself; it has no access to other information that is on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in the folder of your browser. The content of a cookie usually consists of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiration date and a unique numeric code.

Cookies generally make the interaction between the visitor and the website easier and faster and help the visitor to navigate between the different parts of a website. In addition, cookies offer the possibility to remember your preferences, either during your visit to the website or with a view to a subsequent visit. Cookies can also be used to make the content of a website or the advertising on a website more relevant to the visitor and to adapt it to his personal taste and needs.

Our ' Cookie Policy ' uses several analog technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, pixels and GIFs, all of which are referred to as 'cookies'. We will explain below which cookies we use and how you can control them. Please also read our Privacy Policy which sets out the rules we follow when we use cookies and when we process personal data that we have collected about you.

You have the option to agree or not to our cookie policy. If you do not give consent, you will have access to the public pages of the Online Services, but certain functions may be limited or impossible in that case. You will find more explanation about this below.

  1. Purposes

We may process the categories of cookies listed below for the purposes listed below through our Online Services. These purposes also include, as described in our Privacy Policy :

- to make the use of the Online Services in general as safe, easy and user-friendly as possible and to optimize the user experience of the Online Services;

- to create content through the online Services that is relevant to you and to provide information, promotions, products and services from Fabbe Sport and Fabbe Sport partners and to integrate them with other information, promotions, products and services from third parties;

- to process for the purpose of advertising, marketing and direct marketing for commercial and promotional activities, products and services of Fabbe Sport and of partners and suppliers of Fabbe Sport.

  1. Use of cookies for the Online Services

Fabbe Sport may use the following categories of cookies in the context of the Online Services:

Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential to use our Online Services or certain parts thereof. For example, these cookies allow you to navigate between the different parts of the websites, to fill in forms, to place orders and to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart. Also when you wish to log in with your personal account, cookies are necessary to securely verify your identity before we grant access to your personal information. If you refuse these cookies, certain parts of the Online Services will not work or will not work optimally.

Connection cookies. These are cookies and metafiles that support communication on the network (message routing, coding information, etc.).

Cookies for browser functionality or usability. Certain cookies memorize the dialog language, or allow a page to be personalized by taking into account previous searches or dialogs. The primary purpose of these cookies is to make dialogs more user-friendly. They can also contain useful information, such as current purchases (shopping cart), the memorized list of documents in a personal space, etc. These cookies are deleted after a browsing session or, on the contrary, are kept to be supplemented or refreshed during subsequent visits.

Temporary and permanent cookies. Cookies only exist as long as the exchange or conversation with the website lasts (maximum a few hours) and they are deleted as soon as the Internet user leaves the browser; they are called temporary cookies. Other cookies may have a longer fixed lifespan or be tied to an expiration date; these are permanent cookies. They are only deleted by a new cookie that comes from the server that created them, possibly with a new expiration date. They can also be deleted if the user takes an explicit action to this effect by deleting the history or the software that monitors the cookies. These actions by the user do not necessarily delete all cookies and metafiles that are stored on the workstation.

First party or third party cookies. The cookies memorized during the dialogue can be managed by the visited Online Service, these are cookies that are specific to the visited Online Service (first party cookies). A cookie can also be specified by an Online Service other than the one visited. For example, the “I like” button on a page generates a cookie that is identified by Facebook; Facebook can read and modify it at a later time. These cookies are called third party cookies; they can contain information about the open exchange, such as the IP address of the internet user, the address of the page visited or any other information. We can also use third party cookies for the functionality of the exchanges themselves, for example for webmail and other communications. When third party cookies are disabled by refusing the browser parameters, communication problems with the Online Services website may occur. Third party cookies therefore allow personal data to be sent to third parties, either directly (e.g. by an active component linked to a banner) or indirectly by placing cookies that are accessible to websites other than our own Online Services. These data transfers are implicit and occur during page loading.

Keyboard-friendly Cookies. The texts written on the keyboard to fill in forms are stored in cookies or in other metafiles stored on the computer: they make automatic text suggestions (identification, address, passwords, etc.). This information remains available for websites visited later. There are various possibilities in browsers to control the storage of such information, the most reliable being the use of a virtual keyboard.

Statistical or analytical cookies. These cookies collect information on the technical data of the exchange or on the use of the Online Services (pages visited, average duration of the visit, etc.) in order to improve their operation. The data collected in this way are in principle aggregated and processed anonymously, but can also be processed for other purposes.

Technical performance cookies. These are analytical cookies that carry technical information about the exchange that is useful, for example, for the proper routing of pages on the network or to remember communication incidents or errors (in particular to count the number of incorrect authentications). This category also includes load balancing cookies that allow requests to be distributed according to the use made of the Online Services (pages visited, etc.). The data collected in this way are in principle aggregated and made anonymous, but can also be used for other purposes.

The cookies of the visit origin. Through the cookies that the user sends back, we know whether the visitor comes from another website (at the top of the request with a third party cookie) or if he continues his visit on the same site (at the top with the cookie specific to the website) so that we can count the number of pages read per visit. This also allows us to know the origin of the visit, for example the visits that were generated via a search on a search engine. It is therefore also a way to measure the effectiveness of the hits of the search engine. Most web hosts also log these cookies in order to be able to provide statistics to their customers.

Visit and follow-up cookies. Visit cookies are first-party cookies that allow the surfing path on the Online Services to be followed. They are useful for the development of the Online Services, to count the clicks or other functions that the visitor activated.

Consultation number cookies. The cookies exchanged with our Online Services contain the IP address of the user and therefore information about the geographical location but also other information. A consolidation of this information makes it possible to catalogue visitors and to analyse the so-called consultation number of the Online Services. It is also a means of profiling visitors, by category or by IP address. The cookies of visit origin can also be used to further refine the consultation number cookies.

Tracking cookies. Third party tracking cookies are used by advertisers and other third parties to track surfing. They can accumulate on the workstation of the internet user after which the Online Services and other websites and online environments compare them. This concerns the tracking of your surfing behavior. It is information that advertisers use to adjust their advertising based on, among other things, your presumed preferences and habits.

Advertising cookies. Many (commercial) websites and also our Online Services contain advertising messages, usually in the form of banners that store cookies on the workstation of the internet user. These cookies can be generated by the page itself at the moment the banner is shown during a quick scan of the screen or by clicking explicitly. These cookies contain information about your surfing behavior and are intended to offer you advertising that falls within your sphere of interest.

Reference cookies . We may also work with third parties to provide additional services. These third parties provide their own cookies that are generated by the partner site as third party cookies. The third party advertisers and other organizations thus use the website visited to create their own cookies to store information about the activities on the website visited. The third party advertiser then uses this information to distribute advertising on the websites visited or on other websites with which this third party has an agreement: other partners that they believe may interest you, given the content you have consulted. Third party advertisers may also use this information to measure the effectiveness of their advertising and to extend their field of control via cascade agreements. For example, the icons of social networks on an online shopping site give these networks access to the list of the shopper's purchases by using the reference cookies.

Cookies for multimedia media. A multimedia display that is understandable requires knowledge of multimedia parameters: the type of file to be downloaded, the compression method used, the duration of the display, the dimensions of the display window, the way in which intellectual property rights are protected, etc. Such information is in principle anonymous and is temporarily stored on your workstation, without personal data.

Cookies for multimedia use . Most components that allow multimedia playback have functionalities for the benefit of user-friendliness: remembering recently viewed or listened to media, classification in albums by author, etc. This information can be remembered in the form of a cookie, in metafiles or managed in a more intelligent way within the database created on the user's workstation. This information data is not personal data in itself but can be reused for other purposes, for example to create a profile of the user (in particular defining his tastes and type of behaviour based on the media visited).

“Flash” or “LSO” cookies. If our Online Services use an “Adobe Flash Player” extension to play animations or video content, this extension generates special cookies (Local Shared Objects). These are cookies for multimedia carriers but they also offer other cookies for multimedia use. These cookies are not managed by browser options.

Cookies for sharing content . Social networks are numerous and varied, for example: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Tumblr, Myspace, Linkedin, Viadeo, Xing. They usually offer buttons for sharing content (of the type “like”, “g+1”, “Tweeter”, “YouTube”, etc.) and use cookies to provide their services. These cookies are managed by software modules, in particular plug-ins, which they provide themselves or which are offered free of charge or not by their developers. These modules are offered as their own version or open source and do not necessarily offer a basic guarantee of legal compliance. The display of these buttons implicitly generates various requests on the social networks and an exchange of information, usually without the user’s knowledge. This dialogue, which is silent to the user, obviously generates standard communication cookies, specific to social networks but third party to the website displayed that the Internet user is visiting. In addition, a click on the button triggers a series of communications with the social network and associated cookies are used. Now, while that explicit click expresses consent for the known function of the button, this is not necessarily the case for the underlying or hidden processing.

Web beacon. The web bug has several names: web bug, web beacon, tracking bug, clear gif, pixel tag. It is a 1-pixel image, transparent and therefore invisible on the page. It covers the software code that combines the functions of third-party cookies, content sharing cookies and the reference cookie.
