The pur­pose of the Pol­i­cy is to inform you of the cook­ies used on our Sites and the pur­pos­es asso­ci­at­ed with them, and to allow you to man­age the cook­ies installed with the cook­ie man­age­ment tool.

What are cookies ?

A “cook­ie” is a small text file sent by a web­site and stored in the mem­o­ry of your inter­net brows­er or on the hard dri­ve of your com­put­er, tablet or cell phone (here­inafter togeth­er the “Ter­mi­nal”). The pur­pose of a cook­ie is to facil­i­tate your nav­i­ga­tion on our Sites. It allows its sender to col­lect infor­ma­tion about your brows­ing dur­ing its peri­od of valid­i­ty. Only the sender of a cook­ie is enti­tled to read or mod­i­fy the infor­ma­tion con­tained there­in. Cook­ies may vary depend­ing on the Inter­net brows­er used to vis­it our Sites. Cook­ies may be ses­sion cook­ies, mean­ing that they are delet­ed from the Ter­mi­nal once the ses­sion and the brows­er are closed, or per­sis­tent cook­ies, mean­ing that they are stored on the Ter­mi­nal until their expi­ra­tion date. When you browse our Sites, cook­ies may be installed on the hard disk of your Ter­mi­nal, in order to facil­i­tate nav­i­ga­tion on our Sites. You have the pos­si­bil­i­ty of man­ag­ing the cook­ies used on the Sites by con­fig­ur­ing the cook­ie man­age­ment tool.
