What this website does technically
This website is built on Aurealis MySite and hosted by Aurealis (Belgium) on servers inside the European Union. Aurealis runs the website on behalf of its owner and processes your data for that purpose only. No data goes to any party other than those listed below.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file your browser keeps. This website uses these cookies:
| Cookie | What for | How long | Set by | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | Keeps your visit together: what you fill in on a form, the confirmation after sending it, and its security. Necessary for the website to work. | until you close your browser | this website | no |
Language | Remembers which language you are reading the website in. | until you close your browser | this website | no |
Visitor statistics
This website counts its visitors itself, on its own server, without a cookie and without an outside service. Of every visit it keeps which pages were viewed and when, which link brought you in, what kind of browser and device you used, and which country you came from. It does so pseudonymously: your IP address is kept only briefly, to derive the country from it on the server itself, and is then deleted. What remains is a code computed from the address with a secret key. Without that key the code cannot be traced back to you; with it, in principle it can, which is why this remains personal data. The technical name of your browser (the user agent) is kept readable: it says something about your software, not about you, and serves to tell visitors from robots.
This website keeps those statistics for the current year and the 2 full years before it; anything older is deleted. The owner of the website may change that period at any time; this page always states the period in force.
The server
The web server keeps technical logs (your IP address, the time and the page requested) to watch over the working and the security of the website. They are deleted automatically after 14 days.
What you fill in during a visit, the server keeps temporarily and encrypted in a session. It is deleted after 7 days without activity.
What you send through a form is stored encrypted in this website's database and delivered to the owner by e-mail. How long the owner keeps it, you read higher up on this page.
