Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are used to the extent strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the Site and cannot be deactivated. They allow us to respond to actions you take such as your connection, your preferences in terms of privacy, language, currency and, where applicable, your authentication on the Site. You can configure your browser to block or be notified of
the existence of these cookies, but some parts of the Site may be affected. 

Performance cookies

Performance cookies allow us to obtain traffic statistics (e.g. number of visits, pages viewed, etc.) by collecting information. In particular, they help us to identify the most/least visited pages, to evaluate how visitors navigate the Site, to measure visitor traffic and to see the sources of traffic. They help us understand which products and actions are more popular than others. We also use this data to identify possible malfunctions of the Site and the improvements to be made. This data will be transmitted to a server of our supplier, stored and analysed. The corresponding results are then transmitted to us anonymously. Your usage data will not be connected to your full IP address during the process.

Cookies for targeted advertising

These cookies record information about your browsing when you are on our Site. If and only if you consent to these cookies, this allows us to understand your interests and offer you personalized advertisements and/or information on our site and/or on the site of our partners (such as Meta and Google) based on your activity in their environment. They allow us to improve your advertising experience on the Site but also on those of our partners whose cookies you have accepted, by presenting you with advertisements and/or information likely to interest you at the right time, based on your browsing, and to measure the performance and conversions of our advertising carried out via these third-party cookies. They are based on the unique identification of your browser and your device. If and only if you accept these cookies, you consent to our partners offering you personalized advertisements on our Products when you browse their Site or their application.

How can you manage your consent when it is required?

When you first visit our Site, you will be asked to make your choices to consent, refuse, and/or configure your choices regarding the use of cookies, by displaying a dedicated banner.
You can then reconsider your choices at any time (give or withdraw your consent, for example on certain cookies or all the cookies concerned) by reopening the cookie management banner, the link to which appears at the bottom of the Site page.
We draw your attention to the fact that, in accordance with the regulations, the cookies necessary for the operation of the Site are not subject to your consent and therefore cannot be deactivated in this cookie management banner.
