KBC has lots to offer from an early age. Moving into a new phase of your life calls for a different approach. And thanks to our wide range of tailored products and services, you can quickly deal with every new challenge.
We really want you to always get the most from using our websites and applications (apps). That's why we like to tailor their content to better fit your needs and preferences. We use various techniques for this, including cookies, pixels, software development kits, local storage and similar technologies (collectively referred to below as 'cookies').
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, how you can change your cookie preferences and how we protect your privacy.
Whenever we refer to 'We/us/our' in this policy, we mean one of the entities listed in section 5 below.
Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet when you visit a website or use an app. They contain information like your preferred language for viewing a website, so you don't need to switch languages every time you visit it.
The cookies we sometimes use are:
See our detailed cookie list for more details.
We use three types of cookies on our websites.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies make mobile banking with us secure, ensure that our digital services work correctly and give you a more convenient experience with us. We need them for things like verifying your identity when you log in with us or remembering your preferred language. Your consent is not required for these cookies and you can't reject them as our digital services won't work without them.
Analysis/Performance cookies
These cookies collect information that helps us track how our digital services are used and make them even better. They tell us things like how many people use our digital services and for how long.
Other cookies
These include cookies that recognise you in order to record your preferences or behaviour for various purposes:
We may also use the data from other cookies for the purposes referred to above for our own carefully selected partners that offer banking and insurance products and services. An up-to-date list of these partners can be found at www.kbc.be/partners.
See our detailed cookie list for more details.
We'll give you as much control as we can. Please note that if you reject cookies, some parts of our digital services will be less adapted to your needs and preferences.
The various options are given below.
Websites
If you're visiting one of our websites for the first time, you can accept or reject cookies. If you wish to change this later, click 'Change cookie preference'.
Apps
If you're using one of our apps for the first time, you can accept or reject cookies. You can always change this later under Menu before you log into the app. Some of our apps also let you change this after you log in.
Browsers
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Adjusting these settings varies according to the type of browser. Check the help feature of your browser or its user guide: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
Certain browsers allow you to choose not to be tracked by websites ('Do Not Track'). We only consider our own cookie mechanisms and do not support ‘Do Not Track’.
In any collaboration with third parties, we ensure that they can't identify you from the data we collect using cookies.
When we collect personal data through cookies, we always do so in accordance with our Data Protection Statement, which we recommend reading. In it, you can read that we use data from cookies, for instance, to create models and generate statistics that are subsequently applied generically to you individually or your family, or to other individuals.
We aim to fit our services as fully as possible to your needs and preferences. That's why we add personal data collected using cookies to information we already have on you. Conversely, we add a limited set of data (including the type of customer you are, your age group and your gender) from our systems to tailor our digital services to you. We only do so if you consent to the use cookies.
If you have accepted cookies for our digital services, but change your mind later:
Find out more about personalised information in our KBC Data Protection Statement.
This cookie policy applies to the KBC group companies listed below.
The data controller for processing personal data depends on the digital service that you access or use.
When you access a third-party website through our digital services, their cookie policy applies. Our apps sometimes send you to third-party websites, like when you buy 'Additional services' using our Mobile app. In that case, the third-party's cookie policy also applies and we'll inform you accordingly. As the third party's own cookie policy applies, we recommend that you read their policy, as well.
