Unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies, our system may place cookies on your computer or mobile device as soon as you visit our website. This page describes how and why we use cookies.
What are cookies?
• a cookie is a small text file that a website server stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site
• first party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies
• persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser
• every time you visit our website, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies
• the purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time
• that way, you don’t have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit
• cookies can also be used to establish statistics about the browsing experience on our sites
What do we use these cookies for?
Cookies help Audiosense bv to optimize your visit to the website, to memorize technical choices (for example a language, a newsletter, etc.), and to show you services and offers that are more relevant to you. If you want to consult the Audiosense bv website, it is recommended that you have cookies enabled. However, if you do not want this, you are free to disable cookies.
We use cookies to enhance your visit to our website. The cookies we use are safe. We use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyze our traffic. The information we collect using cookies helps us to identify any errors or to let you see specific services that we think may be of interest to you. We store information that is directly related to you. We also may use cookies from carefully selected partners with whom we work and who advertise our services on their website.
How do I restrict cookies?
To visit the Audiosense bv website, it is recommended to enable cookies on your computer, tablet or mobile phone. Without activated cookies, we may not be able to guarantee a trouble-free visit to our website. If you nevertheless prefer to restrict, block or delete cookies from Audiosense bvba, you can do so by changing the privacy settings of your browser.
Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our website, use its features, and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for the website to work. For example, we use user-input cookies for the duration of a session to keep track of their input when filling in forms that span several pages.
We also use functional cookies to remember choices you’ve made or information you’ve provided, such as your username, language, or the region you are in. This allows us to tailor your website experience specifically to your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are used for the duration of a session (or persistent, if you agree to the “remember me” function) to allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or to gain access to authorized content across pages. The functional cookies we use include:
- User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the specific task of increasing the security of the service.
- Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) are used for the duration of a session to store technical data needed to play back video or audio content (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
- Load balancing session cookies are used for the duration of the session to identify the same server in the pool in order for the load balancer to redirect requests appropriately.
- User interface customization persistent cookies are used to store a user’s preference regarding a service across web pages.
Shopify is dedicated to optimizing user experience and we use many tools to help us improve our website and our commerce platform. To this end, we use reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how you use our website or our merchants’ storefronts, and how often. The performance cookies we use include:
- First party analytics cookies - we use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve our websites and our merchants’ websites, and to detect the most searched for words in search engines that lead to a webpage. These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. We use these cookies to learn how our websites and our merchants’ websites are performing and make relevant improvements to improve your browsing experience.
- Third party analytics cookies - we also use Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers listed below to help measure how users interact with our website content. These cookies “remember” what our users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the website. For more information on Google Analytics, visit Google’s information page. For instructions on how to opt out of Google Analytics, see below.
Advertising cookies are used on our website to tailor marketing to you and your interests and provide you with a more personalized service in the future. These cookies remember that you visited our website and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your device’s visits to our website and other sites, they typically cannot personally identify you. Without these cookies, the advertisements that you see may be less relevant and interesting to you. Read more about how companies use cookies to conduct targeted or retargeted advertising here. We do not set advertising cookies through our merchants’ storefronts ourselves, though merchants may choose to do so independently.
Finally, social media and content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our websites. Please note that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioural advertising, analytics, and/or market research.
