A cookie is a text file placed in a dedicated space on the hard drive of your device (computer, tablet, cell phone or any other Internet-optimized device), when you access an online service using your browser.
This file then allows its issuer to identify the device on which it is saved during the period of validity.
Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information it contains.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?

The cookies used on our website make it possible to identify the services and sections users have visited, and more generally their browsing behavior. This information is useful to better customize the services, content and banners that appear on our website and make it easier for you to browse our website.

3 WHY WE USE COOKIES

4. COOKIES TRANSMITTED TO OUR SITE BY THIRD PARTIES

These are the cookies placed on your device by third-party companies (for example partners) when you browse our website. The storage and use of cookies by third parties are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties. We inform you about the purpose of the cookies known to us and the actions you can take to make choices about these cookies.

Due to third-party applications integrated into our website, our website/application may contain computer applications from third parties, which allow you to share content from our site with other people or to inform these other people of your consultation or your opinion regarding a content of our site/application. This is particularly the case of “Share” and “Like” buttons popular on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.
The social network providing such an application button is likely to identify you with this button, even if you did not use this button during your consultation of our website/application. In fact, this type of application button can allow the social network to track your browsing on our website, just because your social network account was activated on your device (open session) during your browsing session.
We have no control over the process used by social networks to collect information about your browsing activities on our website and associated with the personal data in their possession. We invite you to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to find out more about the purpose of use, including advertising and browsing information they can collect through these application buttons. These protection policies should allow you to exercise your choices with regard to these social networks, in particular by setting up your user accounts for each of these networks.

5.1 THE COOKIES AGREEMENT

As the case may be, we accept no liability for the consequences of the poor functioning of our services resulting from the impossibility for us to save or consult the cookies necessary for their operation and that you have rejected or deleted.
