General Information on Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

While browsing the Internet, some data, even anonymous (i.e., not allowing direct personal identification), may be passively collected (i.e., without the user directly providing it) by website owners through various technologies such as cookies, Internet tags, web beacons, and the collection of navigation data (log files, server logs, clickstream). For instance, your browser automatically transmits some of these data to this website, such as the address of the site you just left, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, potentially anonymized, and the version of the browser used by your computer. Additionally, this site may collect data from your computer through cookies, Internet tags, or web beacons. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but some features of this site may not function properly without cookies.
This site may use and combine these passively collected data to provide better service to visitors, personalize the site according to your preferences, compile and analyze statistical data and trends, and, last but not least, administer and improve the site for visitors. These data will never be combined with personal data collected from our site unless you have given explicit authorization. For more information about cookies and other passive data collection methods mentioned above, please refer to the following sections.

Definition of a “Cookie”

A “cookie” is an electronic record of information that a website sends to the user’s browser to identify the user’s computer and preferences during future visits to the same website.
A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or capture email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some cookie functions can be performed by other technologies. Hereinafter, the term
“cookie” refers to cookies and all similar technologies.

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, various types can be distinguished:
Session Cookies are temporary electronic records of information that improve navigation, prevent visitors from providing inappropriate information (the site “remembers” previously provided information such as age or country of origin that were out of specified parameters and blocks any subsequent modification), and are used to collect aggregated statistical information about the site. Session cookies are deleted when the visitor leaves this site, the browser, or when the computer is turned off.
Permanent Cookies are electronic records of information that persist for a specified period on the user’s hard drive and remain there unless the user deletes the cookies. Permanent cookies store information on the user’s computer for various purposes, such as retrieving certain information previously provided by the user (e.g., passwords), helping determine which areas of the site the user finds most interesting, and profiling the website based on the user’s preferences. Permanent cookies sent by this site to your computer may contain personal identifying data only if you have registered on the site and authorized the processing of the personal identifying data you have provided. Otherwise, our site’s server knows only that an anonymous visitor with that cookie has returned to visit our site.

Cookies can also be categorized as follows:

• Technical Cookies (necessary): These are essential for the proper functioning of a website and are used to manage various services related to websites (such as login or access to reserved functions). The duration of these cookies is strictly limited to the work session or they may use a longer duration to remember visitor choices. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may compromise the experience and navigation of the website.
• Analytical Cookies: These cookies are used to collect information on the use of the site. This information is used in anonymous statistical analysis to improve the use of the site and make the content more interesting and relevant to the user’s desires. This type of cookie collects data anonymously about user activity and how the user arrived at the site. Analytical cookies are sent from the site itself or from third-party domains. They also allow system monitoring and performance and usability improvement. Disabling these cookies can be done without any loss of functionality and will be detailed later.
• Third-Party Service Analysis Cookies: These cookies are used to collect information anonymously about users’ use of the site such as pages visited, time spent, traffic origins, geographical origin, age, gender, and interests for marketing campaigns. These cookies are sent from third-party domains external to the site.
• Cookies for Integrating Third-Party Software Products and Functions: This type of cookie integrates functionalities developed by third parties within the site pages, such as icons and preferences expressed in social networks for sharing site content or using third-party software services (like generating maps and additional software offering extra services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner sites that offer their functionalities among the site’s pages.
• Profiling Cookies: These are necessary to create user profiles to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user within the site pages.
