Cookies
A cookie is a text file that can be stored in a dedicated space on your Terminal's hard drive when you visit a website. A cookie allows its issuer to identify the Terminal on which it is stored, during the cookie's validity or registration period.
When you visit the Website, information relating to your Terminal's browsing (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) may be recorded via cookies installed on your Terminal, in accordance with the choices you have made regarding cookies, which you can modify at any time.
Only the issuer of a cookie is likely to read or modify the information contained therein.
When you connect to the Site, the Data Controller may, subject to your choices, install several cookies on your Device to recognize your Device's browser during the validity period of the cookie in question. The cookies we issue are used for the purposes described below.
The cookies we issue allow us to:
conduct studies and compile statistics and volumes of visits and use of the various elements that make up our Site (sections and content visited, routes), enabling the Data Controller to improve the interest and ergonomics of its services;
adapt the presentation of the Site to the display preferences of your Terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) when you visit the Site, depending on the display or reading hardware and software that your Terminal contains; and
implement security measures, for example, when you are asked to reconnect to content or a service after a certain period of time.
There are several ways to manage cookies. Any settings you may select may affect your Internet browsing and your access to certain services that require the use of cookies.
You may choose at any time to express and modify your wishes regarding cookies by the means described below.
In particular, you can configure your browser software so that cookies are stored on your Device or, conversely, so that they are rejected, either systematically or according to their origin.
You can also configure your browser software so that you are offered the option of accepting or rejecting cookies on a case-by-case basis, before a cookie is likely to be stored on your Device. For more information, see “How to do this.”
