Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to visitors and users of F4Bio’s website (the “Site”). In this document, “cookies” also covers similar technologies such as scripts and web beacons. We may use cookies directly, and certain third parties may place cookies through our Site.

A cookie is a small file stored by your browser on your device. Cookies allow us to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, or region) over a period of time.

A script is a piece of code that enables our Site to function properly and interactively, executed on our server or your device.

A web beacon (also known as a pixel tag) is a tiny, invisible image or piece of text used to track visits and user behavior on websites. They help us monitor traffic and improve services.

• Strictly necessary — required for the Site to operate, such as security, load balancing, and form submissions. These do not require consent.
• Preferences — store your choices (e.g., language selection, display settings).
• Statistics / Analytics — help us understand how the Site is used and improve our services. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
• Marketing / Third-party — not active by default. If we implement third-party services (e.g., LinkedIn pixel, analytics platforms), they will be listed here and require your consent.

• consent_status (12 months) — stores your cookie preferences (strictly necessary).
• lang_pref (6 months) — remembers your chosen language (preferences).
• _ga / _gid (13 months / 24 hours) — Google Analytics identifiers (statistics; only if enabled and consented).

If we introduce additional services (e.g., embedded videos, recruitment platforms), their cookies will be described here with purpose and retention details.

When you visit the Site for the first time, you may be asked to provide consent for non-essential cookies. You can:

• Accept or refuse cookies in the banner (when implemented).
• Change your choice later by clearing cookies or via a future “Manage cookies” link.
• Control cookies via your browser settings. Please note that disabling all cookies may impact Site functionality.

You can use your internet browser to delete cookies automatically or manually. You can also configure your browser to prevent certain cookies from being placed, or to notify you each time a cookie is set. For details, consult your browser’s Help section.

Please note: if you delete or block cookies, some features of our Site may not work properly. If you delete cookies, they may be set again after you give consent upon a new visit.

Because some cookies may involve personal data, you may exercise your GDPR rights, as described in our Privacy Policy. These include:

• Right of access, rectification, erasure, and restriction.
• Right to data portability.
• Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent at any time.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (APD-GBA): dataprotectionauthority.be.
