2.WHAT IS A COOKIE?


Cookies are small files containing various textual information, usually consisting of letters and numbers. They are deposited on your terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone ...) via your browser, by the website you visit.

This operation makes it possible to recognize your devices as soon as a connection is established between the server of the Site and your browser. The main purpose of a cookie is therefore simply to allow the Site's server to adapt the content of the Internet pages to your personal preferences, in order to personalize your visit to the Site.

The Site may use several types of cookies:

  • Session cookies: these cookies are temporary and stored in the cookie file of your browser until it is closed. These cookies are required for certain applications or features of the Site to function properly.

  • Persistent Cookies: The Site may use persistent cookies to enhance your experience (e.g., by providing enhanced navigation). These cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for a longer period of time. The length of time they are retained depends on the configuration choices of your Internet browser. Persistent cookies allow information to be transmitted to a web server each time a person visits the Site, and can be used, for example, to remember your preferences and choices for a website, or to target advertising. Persistent cookies are also known as tracking cookies.

  • Internal cookies: these cookies are installed by the Site at the time of your visit in order to improve your experience.

  • Third-party cookies: These cookies are installed by third parties who may be the Company's partners. A third-party cookie is a file that is embedded in a browser by a different site than the one you are visiting, in order to store information locally and track your journey across multiple sites. These cookies are therefore not hosted on the Site.

These cookies are classified according to several types: necessary cookies used for technical purposes, audience measurement cookies, advertising cookies, sharing cookies on social networks, etc.

3.WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?


Cookies are used for different purposes:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: they are essential to the functioning of the Site and allow you to access secure areas such as your shopping cart, your personal area, etc.

  • Analytical or performance cookies: these cookies allow the Company to know the use and performance of the Site and to improve its operation. For example, they allow us to know which pages of the Site are most frequently consulted.

  • Functional cookies: these cookies make it possible to remember the choices you make in order to improve your experience on the Site.

They are used, for example, to recognize you when you return to the Site, to remember the choices you have made, the items you have put in your shopping cart, etc., and to provide improved and personalized information about your preferences and consumption habits.

  • Advertising cookies: these cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to present you with advertisements tailored to your interests. These cookies record your visit to the Site, the pages you visit and the links you follow, as well as your navigation outside the Site. They are also used to limit the number of times you see the same ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

They are generally placed on the Site by third parties with the Company's permission.
