What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which can be stored on your computer or your mobile device upon your visit to websites. In this text file,
information is stored, such as your language preference relating to a website. The next time you visit the website, this cookie will be
resent to the website. This allows the website to recognize your browser and, for example, to remember your language preference.
Cookies usually have an expiration date. For instance, some cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (the
so-called session cookies), while others remain on your computer for a longer time, sometimes until you delete them manually (the
so-called persistent cookies).
Cookies can be installed by the server of the website you visit or by partners of that website. A website's server can only read the
cookies it has installed itself, and has no access to other information found in your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored
in the folder of your browser on your computer or mobile device. A cookie usually consists of the name of the server that placed the
cookie, an expiry date, and a unique number code.
Cookies generally make the interaction between the visitor and the website faster and easier, and help the visitor navigate between
the different parts of a website. Cookies can also be used to make the content or advertisement on a website more relevant for the
visitor, and can be adapted to his personal taste and needs.
Who installs these cookies?
- First-party cookies are installed and managed by Mobile Vikings. They are specific to the Mobile Vikings website that is visited or the Mobile Vikings application that is used.
- Third-party cookies are installed and managed by a third party. They are installed during your visit to a Mobile Vikings website or use of a Mobile Vikings application. They ensure that your visit to the Mobile Vikings website or application results in certain information being sent to third parties.
How long do cookies exist?
- Temporary cookies (or “session” cookies) are temporarily stored in your browser or application. As soon as you close your browser or application, these cookies are automatically deleted.
- Permanent cookies (or “persistent” cookies) remain on your computer or mobile device, even after you close the browser or the app. They make it possible to recognize you during a subsequent visit to the website. They remain on your device until their expiration date is reached, a new version of the cookie is installed, or you delete them manually.

What is the impact of your cookie preference?

In case you decide to withdraw your cookie consent for any reason, your choice will be taken into account on our Mobile Vikings
sites but unfortunately we cannot spread this information to third parties such as Google, Facebook... We recommend that you
