This Cookie Policy explains how Milieu Consulting SRL (“Milieu”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its website and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides general information about how we process personal data and about your rights under applicable data protection law.
2. Legal framework
The use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by:
- Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as implemented in Belgian law, and
- where cookies involve the processing of personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
With the exception of strictly necessary cookies, cookies may only be placed on your device after you have given your prior consent.
3. What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels or plugins, that allow us to access information stored on your device.
The main purpose of these technologies is to store your settings and other data, meaning you won’t need to enter them again the next time you visit our website. We use cookies to help make the website function properly, improve security, enhance the user experience, and analyse how the website performs in order to identify areas for improvement.
Cookies can be:
- session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
- persistent cookies, which remain stored for a defined period.
4. Categories of cookies used on this website
- Strictly necessary cookies
Our website primarily uses first-party cookies, which are cookies that are set and controlled by us and not by third-party organisations.
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the technical functioning of the website and for providing services explicitly requested by you. For example, when you submit data through a form available on the website, certain cookies may be used to ensure the proper transmission of that data, to maintain the continuity of your session, or to remember information necessary for managing your interaction with the website.
These cookies also allow the website to function correctly by enabling basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and the storage of your cookie consent choices. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed without your consent, as permitted under applicable law.

- Social media plugins and third-party content (consent required)
Our website may display content from third-party providers, such as social media platforms. These services allow you to view embedded content or interact with external platforms directly from our website.
When you visit a page that includes such content, your browser may establish a direct connection with the servers of the relevant third-party provider. As a result, certain information (such as your IP address or technical identifiers) may be transmitted to that provider.
For the initial collection and transmission of personal data via such plugins or embedded content, Milieu and the relevant third-party provider may act as joint controllers within the meaning of Article 26 GDPR.
Third-party content and plugins are loaded only after you have given your consent, unless they are strictly necessary for the functioning of the website.
