2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit them.

They can help websites function correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with content and, where applicable, support analytics and marketing activities.

Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, may serve comparable purposes and are covered by this Policy where applicable.

Cookies may be placed by the Website itself (first-party cookies) or by external service providers (third-party cookies).

3. Categories of Cookies

Depending on the features and services enabled on our Website, the following categories of cookies or similar technologies may be used.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies are essential to the operation, security and basic functionality of the Website.

They may support:

  • Website navigation and technical performance

  • Security and protection against misuse

  • Essential functionality and session management

  • Storage of cookie consent preferences

Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent where they meet the applicable legal exemption.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Where enabled, analytics technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website and improve its content, accessibility and performance.

They may provide information about:

  • Website traffic and visitor engagement

  • Pages visited and navigation patterns

  • Technical performance and usability

  • General audience trends

Analytics technologies requiring consent will only be activated after the visitor has provided valid consent.

Certain audience measurement technologies may be exempt from consent where they strictly satisfy the conditions established by applicable law and CNIL guidance.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may support optional features or preferences that improve the browsing experience.

Depending on their purpose and technical operation, these cookies may require consent.

Marketing and Third-Party Cookies

Where enabled, marketing technologies may be used to evaluate communications, measure campaign performance or support advertising activities.

Third-party services may also use cookies or similar technologies when external content is integrated into the Website.

These technologies will be subject to prior consent wherever required by applicable law.

The cookies and similar technologies used on the Website depend on its technical configuration and the services currently enabled.

Where applicable, visitors will be provided with information identifying:

  • The cookie or technology name

  • Its provider

  • Its purpose

  • Its retention period

  • Whether consent is required

This information will be made available through our cookie management interface or an accompanying cookie inventory.

We review this information when relevant technologies are introduced, modified or removed.

Where consent is required, visitors will be able to:

  • Accept All: consent to the proposed non-essential categories.

6. Managing or Withdrawing Consent

You can change your cookie choices at any time through the cookie preference management mechanism made available on the Website.

Where non-essential cookies have been accepted, withdrawing consent will prevent their further use for the relevant purposes, subject to applicable technical and legal requirements.

7. Cookie Retention

The duration of cookies varies according to their purpose, technical characteristics and applicable legal requirements.

We aim to limit cookie retention to what is necessary and proportionate.

In accordance with CNIL recommendations, choices relating to cookie acceptance or refusal may generally be retained for a period of six months, subject to an assessment of the Website's specific circumstances.

Individual cookie lifetimes and related data retention periods are determined by their purposes and the relevant legal requirements.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Website may contain links to external platforms or integrate third-party services, including professional networks, social media platforms and audiovisual content providers.

Where such integrations involve cookies or tracking technologies requiring consent, the relevant technologies will be subject to the applicable consent requirements.

Third-party providers may operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

We encourage visitors to review those policies when interacting with external services.
