Cookie policy

Version f083ed12, valid since Nov 10, 2026. This page is made from what the shop really uses: when a cookie comes or goes, the page changes with it and gets a new version and date.

OSU GIFTS uses cookies and similar techniques. Here you read which ones, who places them, why and for how long, and how you decide about them.

You have not made a choice yet: nothing but necessary cookies is used.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser and reads again on a later page or visit. Browser storage (local storage and session storage) works much the same way, but is not sent to the website with every page. On this page "cookies" means all of them.

A first-party cookie is stored on the domain of this website; a third-party cookie on the domain of another company. A first-party cookie can still be placed by another company, through a script the shop loads: the lists below always say who places it.

Belgian law (article 10/2 of the Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data) allows us to store or read information on your device only with your consent, unless it is strictly necessary to provide the service you ask for, or to send a communication. Necessary cookies, such as the ones for your cart, signing in, your cookie choice and security, therefore work without asking. Every other cookie waits until you allow its purpose.

On your first visit we ask what you allow, per purpose. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and nothing is switched on in advance. Until you choose, and when you refuse, only necessary cookies are used and no script that needs consent is loaded.

Refusing changes nothing about what you can do in the shop: you browse and order as usual. We then simply do not measure your visit, and ads elsewhere are not based on it. Allowing a purpose lets the parties listed under it place their cookies and receive the data described there.

Where cookies hold personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies too. We use necessary cookies because they are needed for the shop you use (article 6(1)(b) GDPR) or for its security (our legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f) GDPR); all other cookies only with your consent (article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

Necessary cookies

Make the shop work: your cart, signing in, your choices and security. Always on.

No consent needed: always on.

Change or withdraw your consent

You change your choice at any time, as easily as you made it: with the buttons at the top of this page, or under “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

When you withdraw your consent, the shop deletes the cookies of that purpose that are stored on this website, and the page loads again without the scripts that placed them. Cookies stored on another company's domain cannot be deleted by us: delete them in your browser.

Your choice counts for 6 months. Then we ask again, and also sooner when a party or purpose is added. To be able to prove your choice we keep it with a random number, the version of the question and the time, without your IP address or other details that say who you are, for 3 years.

Delete cookies in your browser

Every browser lets you see, delete and block cookies, for all websites or for one. If you block the necessary cookies of this shop, your cart and signing in no longer work.
