Please be aware that, when you visit our website or mobile app, cookies may be stored on your device (desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smartphone).
Accordingly, the purpose of this policy is to provide you with key information on how we use these cookies, the purposes for which they are used, and to inform you of your rights in this regard.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files stored and/or read on a user’s device when they visit a website or use a mobile application, and are used by that website or application to send information to the web browser.
Throughout its validity period, a cookie enables its issuer to recognise the device each time it accesses content containing cookies from the same issuer.
Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information it contains.
Purposes of the cookies used
The cookies we use can be divided into three categories:
- so-called essential or technical cookies;
- audience measurement cookies;
- advertising cookies.
Essential or technical cookies
Essential or technical cookies are those whose sole purpose is to enable or facilitate electronic communication, or those strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service at the user’s express request.
In particular, these cookies enable:
- To respect the user’s choice regarding the storage of trackers;
- To log in to a service;
- To adapt the website’s layout to the device’s display preferences;
- To store information relating to the contents of a shopping basket, or to forms that the user has completed on the website;
- To provide the user with access to their account.
Audience measurement cookies
Audience measurement cookies are used to gather information about how users navigate the website (examples of purposes include: measuring performance, identifying navigation issues, optimising technical performance or usability, estimating the server capacity required, analysing the content viewed, etc.).
Advertising cookies
So-called ‘advertising’ cookies are linked to targeted advertising, i.e. the monitoring of users’ browsing habits, which enables a specific profile to be created in order to display adverts tailored to them.
Third-party cookies
Our website or mobile app may also contain third-party cookies.
We ensure that these cookies are managed appropriately by third-party providers, but we cannot be held liable for them.
Shelf life
We comply with the requirements set by the CNIL regarding data retention periods.
Technical or essential cookies are retained for as long as is necessary to provide and ensure the proper functioning of the service.
As regards audience measurement cookies, their lifespan does not exceed 13 months. As for the information collected via these trackers, it is retained for 25 months.
Other cookies are retained for a period reasonably necessary for the purposes for which they are used. The validity of the consent given shall not exceed a period of 13 months.
Consent and Exemption
According to the CNIL’s guidelines, a distinction must be made between cookies that require prior consent and those that fall under the exemption regime.
Cookies that require your prior consent are advertising cookies.
Technical cookies and those used for audience measurement fall under the exemption regime.
With regard to audience measurement cookies that process personal data, you may exercise your right to object.
To collect consent and manage the right to object, we use a Consent Management Platform (‘CMP’).
You can easily use this tool to manage the activation or deactivation of our cookies, with the exception of technical cookies, which are and remain necessary for the proper functioning of our services.
