Data protection

What is a cookie?

Trackers are involved that are placed and read, for example, when browsing a website, reading an email, installing or using software or a mobile application, regardless of the type of device used such as a computer, smartphone, e-reader, or an internet-connected video game console.

The term "cookie" covers, for example:

  • HTTP cookies;
  • Flash cookies;
  • the result of fingerprinting calculation (computing a unique machine identifier based on configuration elements for tracking purposes);
  • invisible pixels or "web bugs";
  • any other identifier generated by software or an operating system, for example.

 

Why does this site use cookies?

This site may use cookies for various purposes:

  • Our navigation analysis cookies: These cookies allow us to create and gather information about your journey while using our site such as: number of visits, pages viewed, sections visited, session duration, referral sources, and searches performed.

Cookies may be placed by third-party partner companies to identify your interests and offer you personalized offers. These "third-party" cookies are directly managed by the companies that issue them and must also comply with data protection regulations.

What is the retention period for cookies?

The French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) recommends that the validity period for consent to cookie placement be limited to a maximum of 13 months. After this period expires, consent must be obtained again.

Consequently, cookies have a lifespan limited to 13 months after their initial placement on your device.
