Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

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

The cookie contains a unique code that allows your browser to be recognised during your visit to the website ("session cookie") or during future visits ("permanent cookie"). Cookies may be placed by the server of the website you are visiting or by partners with whom that website collaborates. A website's server can only read the cookies it has set itself; it has no access to any other information on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in the memory of your browser. The contents of a cookie generally consist of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiration date and a unique encryption code.

Please note: cookies are completely harmless. They do not erase any data from your computer, they do not alter any files or programs and they cannot contain viruses.

What are cookies used for ?

Thanks to a cookie, our website can recognise you while preserving your anonymity. The website takes note of your preferences and automatically adapts to your wishes. But this information is not linked to your name or identity. For example, these cookies allow you to surf directly in your own language, without having to fill in your login data every time. In short, they make using this website much faster and more pleasant.

Cookies can help you be more efficient. Have you ever put an item in a shopping cart in an online shop and returned a few days later and seen that your item is 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 website more relevant to the visitor and to tailor the website to the personal tastes and needs of the visitor.

What types of cookies are used ?

We use several types of cookie on this website.

Commercial cookies

This website uses cookies which, depending on the pages you visit, keep track of the products or services that may be of interest to you. Thanks to these cookies and the advertising network of Google (Google AdWords, Google Analytics, the Google Display network and DoubleClick) and Facebook (Facebook, Instagram), we are able to show you advertisements for products and services relevant to your interests on other websites that are part of these advertising networks. This technique is called "remarketing". These cookies do not contain any personal data.
