Cookie Policy

Last updated: [DATE OF PUBLICATION]

1. Introduction

This website is operated by Nova Mercatus (CommV), with registered office at Pastoor Wouterstraat 13 bus 2, 2650 Edegem, Belgium, registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 1032805223.

In this Cookie Policy we explain which cookies and similar technologies we use when you visit our website novamercatus.com.

We consider it important that you remain in control of your personal data and clearly understand how cookies are used on our website. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, in which we explain in more detail how we process personal data.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They can, for example, be used to make a website work technically, to remember preferences, to analyse usage or to tailor content to interests.

In addition to cookies, similar techniques exist, such as pixels and local storage. In this Cookie Policy we use the term "cookies" as a collective term for these, where relevant.

3. Does our website use cookies?

Our website is designed to keep the use of cookies to a minimum. At present, we do not place any cookies that require your prior consent: there are no functional, analytical or marketing/tracking cookies active that store personal identifiers on your device.

3.1 Cloudflare Web Analytics (cookieless)

For general visitor statistics, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. This service does not place any cookies and does not use local storage, does not track visitors across different websites, and only collects aggregated, non-traceable statistics such as the number of page views. Because this technology does not use cookies and does not track individual visitors, no prior consent is required for it.

More information: https://www.cloudflare.com/web-analytics/

3.2 Strictly necessary technical functions

Our contact forms may use a technical anti-spam protection mechanism. This mechanism does not place any cookies and does not collect personal data for any purpose other than securing the form.

4. No cookie banner needed

Because our website does not use any cookies for which consent is required, we do not display a cookie banner or cookie settings panel. Should this change — for example, through the addition of analytical, functional or marketing cookies — we will update this Cookie Policy and, where legally required, will request your prior consent through a cookie banner.

5. Third-party cookies

Our website currently does not use any third-party services, such as Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel or similar tools, that place cookies or tracking technologies.

6. Deleting cookies via your browser

Even though our website currently does not use any cookies that require consent, you can always view, manage or delete cookies from any website through your browser settings. The way this works differs per browser; please consult your browser's help function for more information.

7. Personal data

The statistics collected via Cloudflare Web Analytics are aggregated and cannot be traced back to an individual visitor, and therefore do not constitute personal data.

For more information on how we process personal data that you provide to us in other ways, for example through an order or contact form, please refer to our Privacy Policy: novamercatus.com/privacy-policy

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may amend this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when the website changes, we use new services, new cookies are added, or applicable legislation changes. The most recent version is always available at novamercatus.com/cookie-policy. We recommend that you consult this Cookie Policy regularly.
