This Cookie Notice is intended for the website https://www2.deloitte.com/be (“Deloitte Site” or “this Site”), whilst it does not apply to other websites that could potentially be accessed by clicking from external URLs.

Specifically, this Cookie Notice applies to each of the Belgian
legal entities belonging to the Deloitte network (the Deloitte network being Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK private company limited by guarantee (“DTTL”), together with its member firms and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and other firms with which it constitutes a network called the “DTTL network”), with registered office address at Luchthaven

Cookies are used in order to make the website work, or to work more efficiently, and as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

Whenever you use this system, information may be collected using cookies and other similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, tags, scripts, local storage).

This system uses cookies and web beacons that are classified into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary: Cookies which are necessary for the system to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, which amount to a request for services, such as authenticating into the system, setting your privacy preferences, filling in forms or managing your session with the requested service.
  • Analytics and Performance: Cookies which are required for our systems to measure audience and usage statistics, as well as content consumption These may be set by us or by third parties’ providers which enable us to obtain relevant usage information to produce internal analytics so we can monitor and improve the performance of our systems.
  • Preference or functionality cookies: Cookies which allow websites to provide enhanced functionality and personalization based on your interaction with the Site and can allow us to remember the users’ respective site preferences and choices (with the exclusion of essential functional cookies). They may be set by us or by third party providers.
  • Targeting or advertising cookies: Cookies which track the users’ respective online activity to create user profiles to send advertising, or to track the user on a website or across several websites for similar marketing purposes. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. Another example of targeting cookies are “Social media” cookies set by social media services (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook) that we have added to the Site to enable you to share our content. These cookies are capable of tracking your browser across other websites and building up a profile of your interests. This may have an impact on the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

To view a list of the cookies that are used by the system, click the Manage cookie preferences button at the top of the page.

The length of time cookies will stay on your device will depend on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie:

  • A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiration date, unless deleted by you before the expiration date. The next time you visit our Site, the cookie will recognize you as a returning visitor and allows us to offer the Site in line with your preferences.
  • A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of your web session, when the web browser is closed.

You can manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind, removing or disabling certain cookies may impact your user experience and parts of this system may no longer be fully functional.

You can change your cookie preferences and settings for non-essential cookies at any time by clicking on the Manage cookie preferences option at the top of this Cookie Notice.

Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the provision of our Site, we will ask you to consent to our use of optional cookies when you first visit our Site. When you withdraw your consent, the cookies already installed will be deleted. The activation of pixel tags (and other similar technologies) is linked to your prior consent to the use of cookies they are connected to. You can block, at any time, the use of this technology, by disabling the corresponding type of cookies (see "Manage cookie preferences")'.

You may also be able to change your browser settings to manage cookies. Most browsers allow the user to check which cookies have been installed, to delete them individually or to block cookies from all or certain websites. Once all cookies have been deleted, any settings on the previously set options will be lost.It is therefore possible to configure the browser to accept or reject cookies, or to warn the user when a particular cookie has been installed. Each browser is different; therefore, it is necessary to check the configuration settings of the specific browser used, to manage the options for enabling cookies.

Deloitte also uses "social buttons" to allow users to share or report web pages. These are buttons that refer to third-party social media sites that could record information on online activities carried out by users. Please review the respective terms of use and privacy policies of those sites to understand exactly how your information is used and how you can withdraw your consent to its use.

We may also use tracking technologies to determine whether you have read, clicked on, or forwarded certain email communications we send to you so that we can make our communications in a more helpful and interesting way. If you do not wish us to confirm whether you have opened, clicked on or forwarded our communications, you will need to unsubscribe, as it is not possible for us to send these emails without tracking enabled. Registered subscribers can update their communication preferences at any time by contacting us, or you can unsubscribe following the instructions in the individual email communications you receive from us. 

We may modify or amend this Cookie Notice from time to time at our discretion. When we make changes to this notice, we will amend the revision date at the top of this page, and such modified or amended Cookie Notice will be effective from that revision date. We therefore invite you to regularly consult our Cookie Notice in order to stay up to date with any changes made since your last consultation.

Should you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can contact us by sending an e-mail to the DPO as mentioned above.
