Managing cookies

When you use our website, cookies are stored on your computer, mobile or tablet.
These cookies are processed in compliance with Article 13 of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and Article 32-II of the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, which established the principle that the storage of information on a user’s equipment or access to information already stored should only be implemented with the user’s prior consent, unless these actions are strictly necessary for the provider to deliver a service expressly requested by the subscriber or user.

A cookie is a small file stored by your browser the first time you visit a website. It contains certain data (name of the server that stored it, an identifier in the form of a unique number and possibly an expiration date). Once stored, cookies enable us to recognise you each time you visit our website, so you can use all of its functions. Cookies are not active files, and as such cannot contain viruses.

Cookies allow us to personalise the content on our website, provide social media features and analyse our traffic. They are not used for advertising purposes.

In order to make its services more efficient, our website uses cookies:

These cookies provide information about how our websites are used while respecting the anonymity of Internet users (number of visitors, average length of visits, sections and pages most visited, etc.). They enable us to improve the content of our information pages and the user-friendliness of our services.
• to offer functions for sharing our articles on social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you choose to share our content on social media, those platforms will use cookies to activate their services and collect information regarding your use of social media.
• to improve the user experience.

Our website’s internal trackers are saved for no longer than thirteen months, which is not extended when the website is revisited.
