First party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, our website uses also external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.
Every time you visit the Lhoist website, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies.
The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don’t have to re-enter this information when browsing around the site during the same visit. Cookies can also be used to establish anonymized statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
We use cookies to make the website work better for you, because they are essential to the usage of the Lhoist website and to gain a better understanding of how you use it.

You can set most modern browsers to prevent any cookies being placed on your device, but you may then have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site/page. And some services and functionalities may not work properly at all (e.g. profile logging-in).
