When you visit our website information is likely to be recorded in the “Cookies” installed on your device (computer, mobile or tablet). This page is designed to help you understand what a cookie is, what it is used for and how you can change the settings.

 

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data files that are stored, with your consent, on your device through the browser and which allow websites or applications to remember your choices, dates and previous navigation on the website, only retaining information related to your preferences.

Cookies are managed by your browser; only the entity issuing a cookie can read or modify the information contained in it.

A cookie does not identify you personally; it identifies the browser on your device.

 

What are the cookies on our site used for?

Cookies are used to help determine the usefulness, interest and the number of times our websites or applications are used, allowing users faster and more efficient navigation, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information.

Three types of cookie addressing the purposes described above can be installed on your device when you visit our website:

 

1. Technical cookies are necessary to browse our website and access the different products and services. Technical cookies are used to recognize you and indicate your visit to one of its pages, and in this way enhance your browsing comfort by adapting the presentation of the site to the display preferences of your device (language used, display resolution) and memorizing the passwords and other information contained in a form you have filled out on the site (registration or access to the members space). Technical cookies also enable use of security measures (as for instance when you are asked to connect again to the members space after a certain lapse of time). These cookies cannot be deactivated or reset without the risk of you being denied access to the site and/or the services on it.

 

2. Audience-measurement cookies are installed by us or our technical service providers for the purpose of measuring the audience using the different content and rubrics on our site to enable better assessment or organization of this content and rubrics. These cookies may also allow us to detect browsing problems and hence improve the ergonomics of our services. They are used anonymously to create and analyse statistics related to the use of websites or applications, in order to improve how they work. On our websites we use Google Analytics and the lifespan of these audience-measurement cookies does not exceed 12 months.

 

3. “Social media” cookies allow users to share the content on our site with other people, and let these other people know that they have viewed content on the site or their opinion on this content. This is the case, in particular, for the “share” and “like” buttons on social media such as “Linkedin”, “Instagram” or “Youtube”. A social media network that provides this type of application button can identify you from this button, even if you have not used it when visiting our site. We advise you to consult the private protection policies of these social media networks to find out about the uses, notably advertising, of the browsing information they may collect thanks to these application buttons. The lifespan of these cookies does not exceed 12 months.
