List of cookies :
A cookie is a small data file (text file) that a website, when viewed, asks your browser to store on your device in order to record information about you, such as your language preferences or login information. We configure these cookies known as internal cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which are cookies from a different domain than the website you visit, for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
1.1.3.1.Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website and cannot be deactivated from our systems. They are usually only activated in response to actions you perform that correspond to a request for services, such as setting up your privacy preferences, logging in or filling out forms. You can configure your browser to block or be alerted to the use of these cookies. However, if this category of cookies – which do not store any personal data – is blocked, certain parts of the website will not be able to function.
1.1.3.2.Performance, analytics and traffic analysis cookies
These cookies allow us to determine the number of visits and the sources of traffic on our website in order to measure and improve its performance. They also help us identify the most/least visited pages and assess how visitors browse the website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymised. If you do not accept this category of cookie, we will not be able to ascertain when you made your visit to our website.
These cookies improve the functionality and personalisation of our website, such as for the use of videos and instant messaging services.

1.1.3.4.Cookies for targeted advertising
These cookies may be activated on our website by our advertising partners. They can be used by these companies to profile your interests and to offer you targeted ads on other websites. They work solely by identifying your browser and device.

1.1.3.5.Social media sharing cookies
Some social medias include application buttons (plug-ins) to share certain content on the site with third parties via social networks (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook).
Cookies allow the content of this website to be shared using sharing buttons. Activating this feature on the website triggers the deposit of cookies.
The social network providing such an application button may identify you with this button, even if you did not use this button during your visit to our Website. This type of application button can enable the social network concerned to track your browsing on our Website, simply because your account on the social network concerned was activated on your device (session opened) during your browsing on our Website.
We have no control over the process used by social networks to collect information relating to your browsing of our Website and associated with the personal data they have in their possession. We invite you to consult the privacy policies of these social networks in order to understand the purposes of use, particularly advertising, of the browsing information that they may collect through these application buttons. These protection policies should enable you to exercise your choices with these social networks, in particular by configuring your user accounts for each of these networks:
- Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/policy/cookies/
- Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/terms/accept/?hl=en

When you first visit our website or after a 13-month absence from the website, you are asked to accept or refuse the use of certain cookies.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of online communication services at your express request and cookies to enable or facilitate communication by electronic means are not subject to obtaining your consent.
If you do not wish for cookies to be installed or read on your device, a refusal cookie will be placed on your equipment so that the Publisher may record the fact that you have objected to the use of cookies. If you delete this refusal cookie, it will no longer be possible to identify you as having refused the use of cookies.
Similarly, when you accept the use of cookies, a consent cookie is stored.
Consent or refusal cookies should remain on your device. You can change your preferences at any time as indicated in the following section entitled “Management of cookies”.
You have several options to delete and to accept or refuse cookies and other trackers on this website.
Although most browsers are set by default and accept the installation of cookies, you can, if you wish, choose to accept all cookies, reject them systematically or choose the cookies that you accept according to their issuer. You can also regularly delete cookies from your device via your browser.
However, do not forget to configure all the browsers on your different devices (tablets, smartphones, computers, etc.).
For the management of cookies and your choices, the configuration of each browser is different. It is described in your browser's help menu which will instruct you on how to change your cookie preferences. For example:

1.1.5.2.Interest-based advertising preference platforms
Several platforms of advertising professionals also offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting cookies used by their member companies. These centralised mechanisms do not block the display of advertisements. They only prevent the installation of cookies to tailor advertisements to your areas of interest.

This website is provided by digital advertising professionals grouped within the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) and is managed in France by the Interactive Advertising Bureau France.
