2) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files (bits of data) that can be placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device with which you access the internet using a web browser. When a website is visited, it can place these cookies on your device via your web browser. Once a cookie is placed on your device, it enables the recognition of your device as you navigate through the website via the same web browser. This will for instance enable the website to ‘remember’ your language settings.  

Types of cookies: 

• First-party cookies: Cookies myTomorrows places on your device for its own purposes.  
• Third-party cookies: Cookies which are placed by third parties engaged by us. These so-called third party cookies are placed by or on behalf of an external/third party. By using myTomorrows’ services, third party cookies may be placed on your device. However, these third party cookies are used for myTomorrows’ own purposes and remain within our control.  

After a cookie is placed on your device, your device can be recognized as you browse through a website using the same web browser during a subsequent visit by reading these text files. This will for instance enable the website to remember your preferred (for example, language) settings.

3) Similar technologies

In addition to cookies, other technologies may be used for similar purposes as cookies. When we mention “cookies” in this Cookie Statement, this also includes all other relevant technologies. Please find a short description of some relevant similar technologies below:

• Pixels: Pixels are small graphic elements embedded on a web page or in emails. They are used for different purposes, including tracking user interactions, measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns or collecting analytics data. They enable the website to gather information about user behavior and engagement.  
• Tags: A tag is a piece of code that is used to gain insights into the performance of advertisements placed on third parties’ websites. myTomorrows has implemented a Tag Manager server-side solution in order to prevent third parties from making direct contact with your browser when obtaining performance information. This solution works as follows: information about your session is first sent to a myTomorrows server that acts as an intermediary between you and our partners. On this server, we limit, clean up and validate the data before it is sent to our partners. We limit the personal data that is sent to our partners to what is strictly necessary to meet the purposes for which that data is collected.  
• Scripts: A script is a piece of program code that is used to make our website function properly and interactively. This code is executed on our server or on your device. JavaScript is a scripting language used to create interactive web pages. It runs in the web browser and can be used to manipulate web page content, validate form data and create dynamic effects and animations.

• • Persistent cookies. These cookies will remain on your device, until a predetermined expiration date has passed.  
• Early deletion/refusal. You can choose to delete a cookie manually before its validity period has passed.
