Privacy Policy
1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
1.1 Definition
A cookie is a text file that may be stored in a dedicated space on the hard disk of your terminal (in particular the hardware equipment (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. ….) that you use to consult or view a site, an application, or advertising content) when you consult an online service thanks to your browser software.
A cookie file allows its issuer to identify the terminal in which it is stored, during the period of validity or storage of the cookie.
Cookies are therefore data used by a server to send status information to a user’s browser, and by that browser to send status information back to the originating server. Status information can be, for example, a session ID, language, expiration date, response domain, etc.
1.2 Legal regime
Article 32 of the French Data Protection Act, following the transposition of the first Telecom package by Act No. 2004-669 of July 9, 2004 on electronic communications and audiovisual communication services, requires that each user be clearly and fully informed of the purpose of each type of cookie and the means available to him or her to oppose their installation.
2. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

The express consent for the setting of permanent, analytical or session cookies is not required, as the data is used for statistical purposes and the information described herein clearly informs about the nature, type and use of cookies.
2.4 Tracking cookies
These are cookies that allow the tracking of users, such as raw attendance data associating an identifier (an IP address, for example). This information is kept for a maximum of six (6) months, starting from their first insertions, without the possibility of extension during new visits. Beyond this period, this data is deleted and/or anonymized.
The express agreement of the implementation of tracking cookies is not mandatory because we have a device of deletion and / or anonymization of data collected beyond six (6) months.
