1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?

We use cookies on our website. A cookie is a small block of data that a website stores on the visitor's computer or mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). The term cookie refers to all the trackers and technology used to track browsing. 

This information will allow you to learn more about how cookies work, as well as the other trackers we use and the different ways you can exercise your freedom to choose and configure them. 

Cookies are installed and stored for a maximum period of 13 months from the time they are installed.

We use this technology to improve the value, ergonomics and performance of our tools, ensuring that they are working optimally; to understand the flow of online visitors and the frequency of their visits; and to improve our services. 

In concrete terms, cookies allow us to:

  • Remember your preferences and some of your personal settings: your choices, your searches, and specific data with which you have previously entrusted us.
  • Collect and analyse website statistics (traffic volume and repeated use, content visited, paths, etc.).
  • Offer easy access to reserved areas, such as your personal account, by recognising login information, even after a certain period of time has elapsed.
  • Display and share content from social media.
  • Offer advertising based on your areas of interest.
  • And implement various security measures and identification systems to thwart attempts at fraud and identity theft.
     

2. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE?

We use five types of cookies on our website for the specific purposes laid out below. 

The main cookies are as follows:

General information: These cookies provide us with information on the use and performance of the website. They allow us to establish statistics regarding the volumes of visits; the paths; and the rate of use of the content, sections and articles consulted. These cookies are also used to count the visitors to specific pages, and to correct any browsing problems encountered. 

They are intended to improve the value and ergonomics of our services.

Use of the Google Analytics tool: This website uses the analysis tool known as "Google Analytics". This powerful tool allows us to collect information in order to analyse the website audience and to improve the website's content. Google Analytics also uses cookies that allow it to analyse specific data, particularly to determine the use of the website by the users. 

This data is transmitted and stored by Google on its servers. Google analyses this information and compiles reports on the website activity for the owner. Google may communicate this data to third parties in the event of a legal obligation, or if they have a partnership agreement.

  • Targeted advertising cookies (if applicable) (optional)

These cookies record specific parameters from your visit to our website, such as the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We and our advertising partners want to use this information to make the website, content and advertising that may be offered to you more relevant.

These cookies also allow us to find out how you arrived on our website, and if you made a purchase on the website after clicking on one of our partner's links or banner advertisements. They therefore allow us to remunerate said partners if purchases can be attributed to them.

  • Social media cookies (if applicable) (optional)

These cookies originate from the social media that we have associated with our website. They allow us to track your browsing on other websites, to identify your contacts on social networks, to share content with them, and to develop a profile of your areas of interest. This can impact the content and messages you receive on other websites you visit. 

These cookies are not installed without your prior consent. You can accept or reject these cookies using the cookie banner shown during your first visit, but you can also change your choice at any time by clicking on the "Cookies" link at the bottom of the page.
