These Cookies are necessary for the Site to operate. They allow the User to use the main functionalities of the Site. Without these Cookies, the User cannot use the Site normally. These Cookies only require information from the User to be deposited on the User’s terminal and do not allow any behavioral or identification tracking.

These Cookies enable personalization of the User’s experience on the Site by memorizing their preferences and allow, in particular:

5. How can the User manage Cookies?

The first time they connect, the User is informed that the Publisher’s partners and any other identified third party may deposit Cookies via the Site. Only the sender of a Cookie is likely to read information contained therein, and the Publisher has no access to Cookies that third parties may use. The issuance and use of Cookies by third parties is subject to the privacy policies of said third parties, in addition to the provisions of this Policy. Consequently, the User should visit the websites of these third parties for more information on the Cookies they store and how the User can manage them.

The User’s management of Cookie storage

The User can manage the Cookies that are stored as follows:

• Storage of strictly necessary technical Cookies is activated by default and cannot be deactivated by the User as these Cookies are essential to the Site’s functioning;

• The User deactivates or activates the storage of Cookies subject to the collection of their consent (Cookies for audience measurement, Cookies for behavioral analysis, advertising Cookies, etc.) using the information banner. Deactivation will result in the User’s refusal to accept the Cookie in question, and therefore to browse the website. 

• By continuing to navigate, i.e. when the User clicks on an element of the Site (image, link, “search” button, etc.) or goes to another page of the Site, the User validates the storage of Cookies, according to the default settings proposed.

If the User activates the storage of Cookies on their terminal, the Cookies embedded in the pages and content that they have consulted may be temporarily stored in a dedicated area of the terminal. They will be readable only by their sender. The consent given by the User is only valid for a period of thirteen (13) months from the first time a Cookie is stored on the User’s terminal equipment, following the expression of the User’s consent.

If the User deactivates the storage of Cookies on their terminal or browser, or if they delete those already saved, the User is informed that their browsing and experience on the Site may differ from that of other Users who have activated Cookies (no personalized content). This could also be the case if the Publisher or one of our service providers cannot determine, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by the terminal, the language and display settings or the country from which the terminal appears to be connected to the Internet. Where applicable, the Publisher declines all responsibility for the consequences related to the degraded functioning of the Site due to the User’s refusal of Cookies.
