This document informs Users of the technologies that enable the Site to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies enable the Owner to access and store information (using a Cookie, for example) or use resources (running a script, for example) on a User’s device when the User interacts with the Site. For the sake of simplicity, all these technologies are defined as “Trackers” in the present document, unless there is a reason to differentiate them. For example, although Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to refer to Cookies in the context of mobile applications, as they are browser-based trackers. This is why, in this document, the term Cookies is only used when it is specifically intended to indicate this specific type of Tracker. Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may require the User’s consent. Where consent is given, it may be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions provided in this document. The Site uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (the so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that activate services provided by a third party (the so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified herein, third-party suppliers may access Trackers managed by themselves. The validity and expiry periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime defined by the Owner or the supplier concerned. Some expire at the end of the user’s browsing session. In addition to what is specified in the descriptions of each of the categories below, Users can find more precise and up-to-date information regarding the lifetime description as well as any other useful information – such as the presence of other Trackers – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers, which are linked, or by contacting the Owner. To find more information dedicated to California consumers and their privacy rights, Users can read the Privacy Policy.

Targeting and advertising

Certain services used by the Owner comply with the IAB’s Transparency and Consent Framework, an initiative that facilitates responsible privacy practices in the digital advertising industry, offering Users greater transparency and control over how their data is used for advertising tracking purposes. Users can customize their advertising preferences at any time by accessing the advertising preferences panel from the cookie notification or using the corresponding link on the Site. The Site participates in the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework and complies with its specifications and policies. The Site uses Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA as its consent management software.

How to manage preferences and give or withdraw consent

There are various ways of managing Tracker preferences and giving and withdrawing consent where appropriate: Users can manage Tracker preferences directly in their own device settings, for example by preventing the use or storage of Trackers. In addition, whenever the use of Trackers is based on consent, Users can give or withdraw this consent by setting their preferences in the cookie notification, or by updating these preferences accordingly using the appropriate consent preference widget, where applicable. It is also possible, through the browser or device features, to delete previously stored Trackers, including those used to remember the User’s initial consent. Other Trackers in the browser’s local memory can be deleted by deleting the browsing history. In the case of third-party Trackers, Users can manage preferences and withdraw their consent via the associated opt-out link (where applicable) or by using the means indicated in the third party’s privacy policy or by contacting the third party.
Access to settings for Trackers
Users can, for example, find information on how to manage Cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Microsoft Edge
• Brave
• Opera

Users can also manage certain categories of Trackers used on mobile applications by disabling the appropriate device settings, such as device advertising settings for mobile devices or tracking settings in general (Users can open the device settings and search for the appropriate setting).
Advertising industry-specific deactivations
Notwithstanding the above, Users are informed that they may follow the instructions provided by YourOnlineChoices (Europe), the Network Advertising Initiative (USA) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (USA), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan), or other similar services. These initiatives allow Users to select their tracking preferences for most advertising tools. The Owner therefore recommends that Users use these resources in addition to the information provided in this document. The Digital Advertising Alliance offers an application called AppChoices that helps Users control interest-based advertising on mobile applications.
