Article 1 – What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file in alphanumeric format placed on the user’s hard drive by the server of the website visited or by a third-party server (advertising agency, web analytics service, social network, etc.). A cookie enables a visitor to be recognised when they return to a website. However, on a technical level, the cookie actually enables the recognition of a machine rather than a user. It is thanks to cookies that personalised pages can be accessed without identifying yourself. Behavioural data is linked to the cookie number and stored on the servers that placed the cookies.

There are several types of cookie categories:

– Session cookies which disappear as soon as you leave the website;
– Permanent cookies that remain on your computer or other device until their lifespan expires or until you delete them using functions provided by your internet browser.

We also draw your attention to the fact that, when you object to the installation or use of a cookie, a refusal cookie is installed on your computer or other terminal.

Similarly, when you consent to the installation of cookies, a consent cookie is installed. Consent or refusal cookies must remain on your computer or other terminal.

Article 3 – Your choices expressed online with interprofessional platforms

You can connect to the Youronlinechoices website, offered by digital advertising professionals grouped within the European association EDAA (European Digital Advertising Alliance) and managed in France by the Interactive Advertising Bureau France.

This will make you aware of the companies registered on this platform and which offer you the option of refusing or accepting the cookies used by these companies to adapt the ads likely to be displayed on your terminal to your browsing information: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/fr/controler-ses-cookies/

This European platform is shared by hundreds of internet advertising professionals and constitutes a centralised interface allowing you to express your refusal or your acceptance of any cookies likely to be used in order to adapt the navigation of your terminal to the ads that may be displayed there.

Note that this procedure will not prevent ads from being displayed on the websites you visit. It will only block the technologies that allow ads to be tailored to your areas of interest.

 


We also remind you that, insofar as you communicate it, we collect personal data on our website which we require in order to send commercial information.

You can consult our “Privacy Policy for the protection of personal data” by clicking on the corresponding tab to find out more.
