Last modified: 1 August 2026

This is the website of TalentGuide BV, BE 0792.555.227, Sint-Jansvest 18/1, 9000 Ghent, Belgium. This Cookie Statement explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website talentguide.com, and how you can manage them. It should be read together with our Website Privacy Policy (https://www.talentguide.com/privacy).

1.  What are cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device (computer, tablet, phone or similar) through your browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information between visits. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and tags; in this Statement we refer to all of them as “cookies.”

2.  Your consent

We place strictly necessary cookies automatically, because the website cannot function without them and they do not require consent. All other cookies – analytics, preference, marketing/social-media and site-improvement cookies – are placed only after you have given your consent through our cookie banner.

• You can accept or refuse non-essential cookies, and refusing is as easy as accepting.

• Non-essential cookies are not set until you opt in.

• You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link on our website; withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place.

  
  

3.  Categories of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary: essential for the website to work (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices). Always active; no consent required.

• Functional / preference: remember your choices and settings to improve usability. Consent required.

• Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the website (e.g. pages viewed, visit frequency) so we can improve it. Consent required.

• Marketing / social media: used by us and by social platforms to measure campaigns and track shared content and browsing behaviour. Consent required.

• Site improvement: allow us to test different versions of a page to identify what works best. Consent required.

Where that happens, the transfer is protected by an appropriate safeguard under the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. See our Website Privacy Policy for more detail.

7.  How long cookies and your consent last

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. We store a record of your cookie choices so we do not ask you on every visit, and we will ask you to renew your consent periodically. The retention period of each cookie is shown in section 4 and in the cookie banner.

8.  How to manage or delete cookies
