2. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file, also known as a «tracker» or «session cookie.» A website, software program, or mobile app can place this cookie on your device, such as your computer, tablet, smartphone, or game console.

The domain name of the website, software, or application is associated with the cookie. The cookie stores information on your device. It then retrieves and transmits the information you have stored each time you log in or visit the site. However, a cookie cannot delete data already stored on your device.

3. What is a cookie used for?

Some cookies are essential or simply help our website, our mobile app (if applicable), and our services function properly. Other cookies allow us or our partners to analyze your browsing behavior and provide you with personalized ads or content. Depending on the purpose of a cookie, you may or may not choose to reject it, and you can change your settings at any time through our preference management center [INSERT LINK TO REOPEN THE COOKIE BANNER].

3.1. Cookies may be strictly necessary:

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website or mobile app and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are generally activated only in response to actions you take that constitute a request for services, such as configuring your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. You can configure your browser to block these cookies or to be notified when they are used. However, if this category of cookies—which does not store any personal data—is blocked, certain parts of the website or mobile app may not function properly.

We are permitted to place these cookies in our own interest, provided that this does not create an imbalance between your interests and ours, or to enter into and perform the contract between us.

3.2. Cookies may serve a functional or technical purpose:

These cookies help improve the functionality and personalization of our website or mobile app, such as the use of videos and instant messaging services. They may be enabled by us or by third-party services. If you do not accept this category of cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

We are permitted to place these cookies in our own interest, provided that this does not create an imbalance between your interests and ours, or to enter into and perform the contract between us.

3.4. Cookies can generate statistics and measure our performance:

These cookies are used to analyze how users navigate the website or mobile app in order to improve their quality and/or compile statistics. More broadly, these cookies help us understand how users interact with the website or mobile app.

In most cases, we are permitted to place these cookies in our own interest, provided that we do not create an imbalance between your interests and ours, and that we refrain from accessing or collecting your personal data or sharing it with third parties. If we collect personal data, we must first obtain your consent.

3.5. Cookies may be used for advertising and marketing purposes:

These cookies are used, among other things, to show users more relevant ads, prevent them from seeing the same ad multiple times, and detect and block fraudulent clicks. These cookies therefore track users as they navigate the website or mobile app. As a result, ads are displayed that are tailored to the user. Rejecting these advertising cookies does not affect your use of our website or mobile app. Rejecting advertising cookies will not stop advertising from appearing on our website, our mobile app, or the Internet; it will simply no longer be targeted or tailored to your browsing activity on the site.

To set this type of cookie, we must first obtain your consent.

3.6. Cookies may allow social media platforms to track your online activity:

Third-party cookies are enabled when you use social media buttons to share content from our website or mobile app with others or to express your opinion. These include share or reaction buttons from social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.
When your device is logged into a social media account, the social media buttons on our website or mobile app can identify you, even if you do not use them while browsing our site.
For more information, please visit the privacy policy or cookie policy page for your social media platform, for example: Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn

4. What information can a cookie send from your device?

Your device may return the following information:

• Identification Data: IP Address
• Connection Data: Logs
• Browsing Data: Browsing History
• Linguistic data: Language spoken, which may be linked to your geolocation

5. How long does a cookie remain on your device?

• While you are on our website, session cookies are temporarily stored. They expire as soon as you leave the site. For example, they can keep track of the items you have added to your shopping cart during a single shopping session without logging into your customer account.
• For up to 13 months after they are first placed, persistent cookies may send information from your device. This period is not extended by your subsequent visits.
• Information collected through persistent cookies may be retained for 25 months. 

Once the retention periods specified above have expired, we do not retain any data about you. At most, we may anonymize your data for statistical purposes.

6. With whom do we share the information we collect?

Cookies fall into two categories:

• First-party cookies, also known as «first-party cookies»: These cookies ensure that the website you are visiting functions properly. For example, they are used to remember your display preferences and thus make it easier for you to navigate the site.
• Third-party cookies, also known as «third-party cookies»: These are cookies placed on our website or mobile app by partner companies. The purpose of these cookies is often to collect information to analyze your behavior—whether anonymously or not—as well as your advertising and marketing preferences.

We place first-party cookies as well as third-party cookies. In some cases, our partners collect data solely on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. In such cases, they act as our data processors, and we are responsible for the processing of that data. Or, our partners collect data both for us and for their own use, in which case we are jointly responsible for the processing of that data.

For more information about our partners, how they use the cookies they place on your device, and their privacy and cookie policies, please visit our preference management center [INSERT LINK TO REOPEN THE COOKIE BANNER]..
