Cookies management

What are cookies?

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

The cookie contains a unique code that makes it possible to recognise your browser during your visit to the website ("session cookie") or during future repeated visits ("permanent cookie"). Cookies may be placed by the server of the website you are visiting or by partners with which this 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 your browser's directory. The content of a cookie generally consists of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiry date and a unique encrypted code.

Important: Cookies are completely harmless. They do not erase any data from your computer, do not 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 becomes aware of your preferences and automatically adjusts to your wishes. However, this information is not linked to your name or identity. For example, these cookies allow you to navigate directly in your language and save you from having to enter your login data every time. In short, they make using this website much faster and more enjoyable. 

Cookies can help you be more efficient. Have you ever added an item to a virtual cart on an online store, returned a few days later, and found that your item is still there? That's an example of cookies at work. 

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

What types of cookies are used?

We use different types of cookies on this website.
