What is a cookie?
A cookie is a connection indicator. It is a small text file that may be stored on your computer when you visit websites. Information is stored in this text file, to remind you of your preferences.

Others remain on your computer for longer, sometimes even until you delete them manually (permanent cookies: you don't have to redefine your preferences each time you visit the site).
There are several types of cookies or tracers, which can be classified according to the domain from which the cookie or tracer is sent, its purpose and the length of time it is retained.
Depending on the field and purpose:
- First party cookies are cookies installed and managed by the Province of Hainaut. They are specific to the Province's website or application.
- Third-party cookies are cookies installed and managed by a third party. They are installed while you are browsing a website or using an app. They enable certain data to be sent to third parties when you browse the Province's website or use an app. A third-party cookie or tracer is a tag embedded in the computer by a site other than the one visited by the user.
