Our Website uses cookies and other tracking technologies. This policy aims to inform you about the cookies that are placed on our Website, how we use them, and how you can control them.
This policy should be read in conjunction with our Data Protection Policy, which contains information on how we process your personal data, including data that may be collected through cookies, where applicable.
We may update this policy from time to time.
This policy is governed by and must be interpreted in accordance with French law and all other applicable provisions within the European Union.
1. What Are Cookies and Other Trackers?
A cookie is a text file that may be stored in a dedicated space on your device’s hard drive (1) when you visit our Website. A cookie allows its issuer to recognize the device in which it is stored, for the duration of its validity or storage period (hereinafter “Cookie”).
(1) A “Device” refers to the hardware (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) used by the User to browse or view the Website.
Not all cookies are the same; they differ in terms of source and duration:
- First-party cookies are set directly by the Website domain and are used only to track activity on that domain.
- Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one visited and are typically placed by partners to track users across different sites. These are governed by the third parties’ privacy policies, and the data collected may be reused. Our partners are listed below.
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies remain stored until their expiration date, which varies depending on their purpose, or until manually deleted.
Cookies are just one form of tracking technology. Other tools—such as web beacons, digital fingerprints, tags, logs, HTTP variables, local storage, ad identifiers, etc.—may also collect information related to your browsing behavior and may be combined with cookie data.
These technologies are governed by the same rules and are therefore covered by this policy. For simplicity, we refer to all tracking technologies as “cookies.”
