When the User uses the Company's Services, the Company automatically receives and records certain types of information such as the parameters of the internet browser used, the contents of the cart, or identifiers to allow the User to log in.
The cookies and trackers strictly necessary for providing a service expressly requested by the User do not require prior consent. Thus, for example, the following trackers do not require consent from Users:
session "identifier" cookies, for the duration of a session, or persistent cookies limited to a few hours in some cases;
authentication and consent cookies;
persistent cookies for personalizing the user interface (language choice or presentation).
Any other cookie requires prior information and the express and prior consent of the Data Subjects, for example:
cookies related to advertising operations;
cookies from social networks generated by social sharing buttons when they collect personal data without consent from the data subjects;
certain audience measurement cookies.
At the entry of the Data Subjects on the Site, an information message is displayed to alert them to the use of cookies.
The collection of consent is done by the appearance of a visible banner on the Website allowing the User to choose the cookies that will be placed on their terminal, excluding however, the cookies necessary for providing the Services.
Cookies as well as other unique identifiers are thus used to obtain this information when the browser or device of the Data Subjects accesses the Website.
A. What is a Cookie?
The term cookie encompasses several technologies that allow for the tracking of the navigation and actions of internet users. These technologies are multiple and constantly evolving. Notably, there are cookies, tags, pixels, and Javascript code.
A cookie is a small text file recorded by your computer, tablet, or smartphone's browser that preserves user data to facilitate navigation and enable certain functionalities.
B. For what reasons are cookies, tags, and trackers used?
Cookies are used by the Company to remember the preferences of the Data Subjects, optimize and improve the User's use of the Website by providing content that is more specifically tailored to their needs.
C. The Cookies that the Company issues on the site allow:
To identify the User when they log in to the Site;
To determine the internet browser settings of the Data Subjects, such as the type of browser used and the plug-ins installed;
To establish statistics and volume of visits and usage of the various elements making up our services (using audience measurement cookies);
To adapt the presentation of the Website according to the terminal used;
To adapt the presentation of the Website according to the affinities of each User;
To optimize the services offered on the Website;
To communicate with the User in a targeted manner.
Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information contained therein.
Some cookies are installed until the Data Subjects close their browser, while others are kept for longer.
D. Browser software settings
The User can configure their browser software so that cookies are stored on their terminal or, conversely, that they are rejected, either systematically or depending on their issuer.
The User can also configure their browser software so that the acceptance or refusal of cookies is offered to them on an ad-hoc basis before a cookie is likely to be stored on their terminal.
E. How to exercise this choice, depending on the browser used?
For cookie management, the configuration of each browser is different.
The "help" section of the toolbar of most browsers indicates how to refuse new "cookies" or obtain a message that signals their receipt, or how to disable all "cookies".
The cookies that the Company issues are used for the purposes described above, subject to the choices of the Data Subjects, which result from the settings of their browser software used during their visit to the Site and their agreement by clicking on the "ok" button of the cookie banner.
Several options are available to the User for managing cookies. Any settings made by the Data Subjects regarding the use of cookies may modify their internet browsing and their access conditions to certain services requiring the use of cookies.
The User can choose at any time to express and modify their wishes regarding cookies, directly from the settings of their internet browser.
Each procedure being different, the User is invited to refer to the documentation related to their browser, accessible from the website of its publisher.
