What are cookies?
A cookie is a set of data stored on the hard drive of your terminal (computer, tablet, phone) via your browser software when you visit an online service. Cookies are widely used by websites to guarantee their functioning or to improve navigation, and they also provide certain information to website owners, in particular in terms of audience measurement.
Cookies do not cause any damage to the terminal, but make it easier, for example, to find preferences, pre-fill certain fields and adapt the content of the services on the site visited. These data allow the improvement of ergonomics and services according to your interests.
What kind of cookies do we use and how do we use them?
The information collected using cookies enables us to analyze the use of the Site and offer an enhanced user experience. We keep cookies only for as long as necessary to achieve the relevant purposes set out in this Cookies Policy, notably for marketing and statistical purposes. In any event, cookies are not stored for longer than 13 months.
Generally speaking, we use first- and third-party session cookies and persistent cookies. Cookies set by us are called “first-party cookies” and cookies set by our third-party partners and service providers are called “third-party cookies.”
Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you close your Web browser. Many session cookies are essential to ensuring that our Site functions correctly, as they typically enable you to move around the Site and use its features.
Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser or until you manually delete them (in the former case, how long the cookie remains on your device will depend on the duration or “lifetime” of the specific cookie and your browser settings). Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user of our Site, making it easier and more convenient to return to our Site or interact with our Services without signing in again. Persistent cookies also help us recognize you when you view a resource belonging to our Site from another website or app (such as an advertisement) and help us record information about your web browsing habits during the lifetime of the persistent cookie.
