Cookie statement

1. Cookies

Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites and applications. Such cookies can have different purposes: there are technical cookies (e.g. for keeping track of language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session) and tracking cookies (cookies that follow and track your behaviour on the Internet in order to offer you a more optimal user experience).

The Belgian Electronic Communications Act of 13 June 2005 contains some provisions on cookies and their use on websites. The law is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation may be implemented differently in other European member states.

Volta is based in Belgium and therefore follows Belgian legislation on cookies.

By using the website, the visitor agrees to the use of cookies. Cookies help volta to optimise your visit to the website, to remember technical choices (e.g. choice of language, newsletter, et cetera) and to show you more relevant services and offers.

If you want to consult the volta website, it is recommended that the technical settings for cookies have been enabled. Without enabled cookies, volta cannot guarantee a trouble-free visit to the website. If you prefer not to have cookies, as a visitor you are free to disable them.
