2. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on and/or read from an Internet user's terminal when visiting a website or mobile application. They are used by the site to send information to the browser software.

Only the sender of a cookie can read or modify the information contained in it.
3. PURPOSES OF THE COOKIES USED
The cookies we use can be grouped into three categories: 1. so-called essential or technical cookies; 2. audience measurement cookies; and 3. advertising cookies.
- 1. Essential or technical cookies
Essential or technical cookies are those whose sole purpose is to enable or facilitate communication by electronic means, or those strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service at the express request of the user. These cookies are used in particular : - To retain the choice expressed by the user on the deposit of tracking cookies; - For authentication of a service; - To adapt the presentation of the site to the terminal's display preferences; - To store information relating to the contents of a cart, or to forms that the user has completed on the site; - To offer the user access to their account.
- 2. Audience measurement cookies
Audience measurement cookies are used to obtain information about web user browsing (examples of purposes: measuring performance, detecting browsing problems, optimising technical performance or ergonomics, estimating server power requirements, analysing content consulted, etc.).
- 3. Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies are linked to targeted advertising, i.e. the observation of users' browsing habits, making it possible to create a specific profile in order to show ads that correspond to their profile.
4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Our website may also contain third-party cookies. We ensure that these cookies are properly managed by third-party services, but we cannot be held responsible for them.
5. RETENTION TIME
We comply with the CNIL's requirements on data retention periods. Technical or essential cookies are kept for the time required to provide and operate the service. The lifetime of audience measurement cookies does not exceed 13 months. The information collected via these tracking cookies is kept for 25 months. Other cookies are kept for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which they are used. The validity of the consent granted will not exceed 13 months.
6. CONSENT AND EXEMPTION
According to CNIL guidelines, a distinction must be made between cookies that require prior consent and those that fall under the exemption rule. Cookies that require your prior consent are advertising cookies. Technical cookies and those relating to audience measurement are covered by the exemption rule. With regard to audience measurement cookies that may process personal data, you may exercise your right to object. We use a Consent Management Platform ("CMP") to collect consent and manage the right to object. Using this tool, you can easily 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.
