COOKIE POLICY

The first time you connect to the Site, a banner at the bottom of your screen warns you that information relating to your browsing may be recorded in files called "cookies". Our policy on the use of cookies enables you to better understand the provisions we make to improve your navigation of our website. In particular, it informs you about all cookies present on our website, their purpose (part I.) and tells you how to customise them  (part II.).

1. General information on the cookies on this Site

The Site Owner, as the publisher of this website, may install a cookie on the hard disk of your device (computer, tablet, mobile, etc.) to ensure smooth and optimal navigation on our website.

"Cookies" are small text files of limited size that allow us to recognise your computer, tablet or mobile device in order to personalise the services we provide to you.

The information collected through cookies does not in any way identify you personally. It is used exclusively by us to improve the interactivity and performance of our website and to provide you with content tailored to your interests. None of this information is communicated to third parties except when the Site Owner has obtained your prior consent or when the disclosure of this information is required by law, by order of a court or any administrative or judicial authority empowered to receive it.

To help you understand the information identified by cookies, you will find below a table listing the different types of cookies that may be used on this Site, their name, their purpose and their duration.

2. Setting your cookie preferences

You can accept or decline cookies at any time.

The first time you log on to the Site, a banner will appear at the bottom of your screen that briefly explains how the site uses cookies and similar technologies. This banner warns you that by continuing your navigation on the Site (eg by loading a new page or by clicking on various elements of the site), you accept the placing of cookies on your device. You are also deemed to have given your consent to the placing of cookies by clicking on the "X" icon to the right of the banner at the bottom of your screen.

For some types of cookie, it may be a requirement that we obtain your consent to place and read cookies on your device. 

a. Cookies that don't require consent

In accordance with the recommendations of the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), certain cookies do not require your consent to be previously obtained insofar as they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or have the exclusive purpose of allowing or facilitating communication by electronic means. These include session identifier cookies, authentication cookies, load-balancing session cookies and cookies to personalising your interface. These cookies are fully subject to this policy insofar as they are issued and managed by the Site Owner.

b. Cookies requiring your prior consent

This requirement applies to cookies issued by third parties, which are referred to as "persistent" in that they remain in your terminal until they are deleted or expire.

Given that such cookies are issued by third parties, their use and storage are subject to the latters' own privacy policies for which you will find links below. This type of cookies includes audience measurement cookies (Google Analytics for example), advertising cookies (not used by the Site Owner) and social network sharing cookies (from providers such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn).

Audience measurement cookies compile statistics on how often various elements of the website are visited and what they are used for (the content/pages you have visited for example). This data helps to improve the ergonomics of the Site.

An audience measurement tool is used on this website:

Social network sharing cookies are issued and managed by the owner of the social network concerned. Subject to your consent, these cookies allow you to easily share some of the content published on this Site, in particular through a "share" "button", depending on the social network concerned.

Sharing cookies may be present on this Site for four social networks:

c. Various tools are available for you to personalise your settings for cookies

Most Internet browsers are configured by default to allow the placing of cookies. Your browser offers you the opportunity to change these standard settings so that all cookies are automatically rejected or so only some of them are accepted or rejected, depending on their source.

WARNING: Please note that a refusal to allow cookies to be placed on your device is nevertheless likely to alter your user experience as well as your access to certain services or functions of this Site. In such a case, the Site Owner rejects all responsibility for any consequences associated with a deterioration in your browsing conditions that may occur due to your decision to refuse, delete or block the cookies that are necessary for the functioning of the site. These consequences do not constitute a harm and you will not be able to claim any compensation for this fact.

Your browser also allows you to delete existing cookies on your device or to request notification when new cookies may be placed on your device. These settings have no impact on your browsing but will make you lose all the benefits of the cookie.

Please take note of the various tools available to you listed below so that you can adjust the settings for cookies placed on your device.
