WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a text file that is stored in a dedicated space on the hard disk of your terminal (computer, tablet, mobile phone or any other Internet-optimized device), when you consult online content or advertising. This Cookie file can only be read by its issuer. For the time it is valid, it allows the issuer to recognize the terminal concerned each time this terminal accesses digital content comprising Cookies from the same issuer. The Cookie does not identify you personally; it just identifies the browser that your terminal uses.
WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?
Four types of Cookies, corresponding to the purposes described here below, may be saved on your terminal when you visit our site:
1. Technical Cookies are required for browsing our site and for accessing the various products and services. Techncial Cookies are used in particular for recognizing you, informing us that you have visited a specific page and help us improve your browsing comfort: by tailoring site presentation to your terminal display preferences (language used, display resolution), memorizing passwords and other data related to a form that you have filled in on the site (registration or access to the members-only area). Technical Cookies are also used to implement security actions (for example, when you are asked to log on again to the members-only area after a given time lapse). These Cookies cannot be deactivated or configured as they are mandatory for accessing the site and/or site services.
2. Site traffic Cookies are issued by us or by our technical service providers and used for measuring traffic on the different content and sections of our site so that we can assess them and organize them optimally. When necessary, these Cookies can also be used to detect any browsing issues that may occur and, consequently, to enhance our service user-friendliness. These Cookies only produce anonymous statistics and traffic volumes; they do not record any personal data. The lifetime of these site traffic Cookies is never more than 13 months.
3. Advertising Cookies are issued by our advertising agency partners, in the advertising areas of our site; the use of these areas helps finance the content and services which we provide you with freely. These Cookies are placed by our partners within the framework of advertising partnerships which, according to specific conditions, allows the advertising agencies to collect data concerning the content consulted on our site, pursuant to the provisions of the French Data Protection Act of 1978 (Loi Informatique et Libertés). These Cookies are used, first of all, to count the total number of ads displayed in our advertising areas, to identify the ads, their total number of respective displays, the number of users clicking on each ad and, if required, the subsequent actions undertaken by these users on pages that these ads redirect to, so that the amounts due to the ad delivery stakeholders (communication agency, advertising agency, delivery site/media) may be calculated and statistics produced. These advertising Cookies are also used to tailor the advertising content displayed on your terminal in our advertising areas, based on your browsing habits on our site and, even, where applicable, based on location data (longitude and latitude) transmitted by your terminal with your prior agreement (behavioural ad). As such, you will see ads which we esteem to be most tailored to your anonymous user profile on your terminal. These Cookies can also be used to limit the number of times you see the same ad on the same media and to tailor the advertising content displayed on your terminal in our advertising areas based on personal data that you may have freely supplied us with (ad targeting). The lifetime of these ad Cookies is never more than 13 months.
4. “Social media” Cookies are used for sharing content from our site with other people or for notifying these other people that you have consulted or given an opinion on content of our site. These Cookies concern, in particular, “Share” and “Like” buttons from Facebook and/or Twitter social media. The social media that provides this type of app button may identify you through this button, even if you have not used it when consulting our site. We invite you to read the privacy policies of these social media to become familiar with the purpose of use, in particular advertising use, of browsing data that may be collected through these app buttons. The lifetime of these Cookies is never more than 13 months.

1. Refusing Cookies via your browser software
