Cookie management policy

Since our website uses cookies, we would like to inform you about the different types of cookies we use.

What are cookies ?

A cookie is a small data file that a website asks your browser to install on your PC, laptop, or mobile device when you visit the site or certain pages of it. The cookie allows the website to remember your choices and preferences over time (for example, your language choice) and apply them during subsequent visits.

A cookie generally contains the name of the website it comes from, how long it will remain on your computer (the expiration date), and a code that is usually a unique number generated randomly.

A distinction is made between strictly necessary cookies and others.

So-called strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website, for example to secure our site and make it accessible. Current legislation does not require us to ask for your authorization to use such cookies.

Other categories of cookies can also be distinguished according to their specific purpose. Cookies can be classified into the following categories :

  • Persistent cookies and session cookies : a persistent cookie is intended to recognize the browser for repeated visits to the website, whereas a session cookie is intended to recognize it during a single visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device. Session cookies are deleted at the end of each visit.
  • First-party cookies and third-party cookies : first-party cookies are placed by the website itself, while third-party cookies are placed by websites other than ours.
  • Performance cookies and functional cookies : performance cookies monitor how visitors use the website. This allows the site manager to adapt and optimize the content and usability of the site (for example, how many people have viewed the different pages of the site and what their preferred language is). Functional cookies are cookies that remember your preferences when you visit the site, such as your language choice, making the site more user-friendly and improving your user experience.

Cookies do not always contain personal data, but they may include information that could allow you to be identified, in which case such cookies are treated as personal data.

First-party cookies and statistical data on page usage

This site uses first-party cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of the site. These cookies do not require any consent under current regulations.

This site uses Matomo to collect statistical data on page usage, with the aim of improving content and the browsing experience.

Matomo is an open-source platform hosted on servers that we own or directly control.

The configuration adopted does not use tracking cookies : data collection is carried out without cookies and with respect for users’ privacy. The data collected are completely anonymous and aggregated, and do not in any way allow a visitor to be identified or their individual behavior to be analyzed.

The information collected includes, for example :

  • Pages visited
  • Average time spent on the site
  • Type of device used (mobile, computer)
  • Approximate geographical origin (with anonymised IP address)

Since no profiling cookies or individual tracking technologies are used, no prior consent is required for this type of statistical processing, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the guidelines of the European Data Protection Supervisor.

Third-party cookies

This site does not host any third-party cookies.
