Cookies
Explanation about the cookies that we use to enhance the experience of your website visit.

Which cookies do we use? And why?

This site uses cookies (and similar technologies) to save your preferences, so that we can offer a personalised, thus better, experience. The information that is saved in these cookies is encrypted and can only be read (again) by this website. And this, only when you are active on the site.

At the moment, we use the following cookies:

  • XSRF-token: We generate automatically an XSRF (sometimes also called CSRF) “token” for each active user session that is managed by our application. This token is used to check whether the verified user is really the one that sends requests to the application. The token is generated automatically and added to each page request. The retention period is 1 minute.
  • XXXXXXX_session: We use a _session “token” to be able to couple a user to his/her session data. The cookie only contains an encrypted value that enables us to to link the user (from his/her browser) to his/her session data, that is kept on the server, and his/her session preferences (if any, logged in or not). The retention period is 1 day.
  • remember_web_YYYYYYY: This token is used to save a user's choice to "remember him/her" so that it is no longer needed to log in on each visit again. The token is saved at the moment a user checks the "remember me" option at login time. The retention period is 5 years.

The first two cookies are essential cookies (to protect forms and to keep session information for logged in users), for which we don't need your permission. The last cookie is only saved when a user chooses for this option.

We don't use cookies of third parties (like Google Analytics of Facebook,…). Because we don't have an impact on the reach of their cookie policy statements, nor on the concrete content of their cookies.

 

Testimonial

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
