Cookie Management

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer's hard drive when you first visit.

The cookie contains a unique code that allows your browser to be recognized during your visit to the website ("session cookie") or during future repeated visits ("persistent cookie"). Cookies can be placed by the server of the website you visit or by partners with whom this website collaborates. The server of a website can only read the cookies it has placed itself; it does not have access to any other information on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser's directory. The content of a cookie generally consists of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiration date, and a unique encrypted code.

Important: Cookies are completely harmless. They do not delete any data from your computer, alter any files or programs, and cannot contain any viruses.

What are cookies used for?

Thanks to a cookie, our website can recognize you while preserving your anonymity. The website learns your preferences and automatically adapts to your wishes. However, this information is in no way linked to your name or identity. For example, these cookies allow you to browse directly in your language and prevent you from having to repeatedly enter your login details. In short, they make using this website much faster and more enjoyable.

Cookies can help you to be more efficient. Have you ever put an item in a virtual shopping cart on an online store, returned a few days later, and found your item still there? This is an example of how cookies work.

Cookies can also be used to make the content of a website or the advertising on that site more relevant to the visitor and to adapt the website to the visitor's personal tastes and needs.
