3. 3 – Cookies
   When you browse our website, we may place cookies on your device with your prior specific consent.
   Depositing these cookies, particularly audience measurement cookies, enables us to find out, for example, the number of visits made to our Website, the number of pages viewed and the frequency with which visitors return to the website, and thus to enable us to offer you content that is tailored and relevant. A cookie is a small text file that may be saved in a dedicated space of your device’s hard drive when visiting a website using your browser software. It is transmitted by the server of a website to your browser. The cookie file allows its issuer to identify the device on which it is stored for the period of validity or registration of the cookie concerned. The storage of cookies on your device during your browsing on a website constitutes the processing of your personal data within the meaning of European Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”).
   When you first log on to our website, you will be expressly asked to give your consent to the storage of cookies on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other device enabling you to browse the Internet) under the conditions specified by these provisions.
   Pursuant to CNIL’s recommendations, the validity period of this consent is thirteen (13) months maximum. At the end of that period, your consent will be collected again.
   An anonymous identifier is assigned to each cookie. A cookie therefore does not identify a natural person but only the computer or mobile device that they are using, via a randomly generated identification tag. Cookies are limited to saving information about the browsing of your device on the Website (number of page visits, connection date and time, etc.).

   You are not required to allow non-essential cookies at any time and you can refuse to deposit them or change your preferences at any time by clicking here.
   In addition, we inform you that most Internet browsers are configured by default so that the storage of cookies is enabled. However, your browser offers you the opportunity to change these standard settings so that all cookies are systematically rejected or that only some of the cookies are accepted or rejected depending on their issuer.
