Cookie management

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites put on your computer's hard drive when you first visit them.

The cookie contains a unique code that can be used to recognize your browser during your visit to the website ("session cookie") or during future repeated visits ("permanent cookie"). Cookies may be placed by the server of the website you are visiting or by partners with whom that website collaborates. A website's server can only read the cookies it has set itself; it does not have access to any other information on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser directory. The contents of a cookie typically consist of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiration date and a unique encrypted code.

Important : Cookies are completely harmless. They do not erase any data from your computer, do not alter any files or programs and cannot contain any viruses.

What are cookies for?

Cookies make it possible for our website to recognize you while preserving your anonymity. The website notes your preferences and automatically adapts to your wishes. This information is not linked to your name or identity. So, for example, these cookies allow you to surf directly in your own language, without having to fill in your connection data every time. In short, they make using this website much faster and easier.

Cookies can help you be more efficient. Have you ever put an item in a virtual shopping cart on an online store and returned a few days later and saw that your item was still there? This is an example of how cookies work.

Cookies can also be used to make the content of a website or advertising on that website more relevant to the visitor and tailor the website to the personal tastes and needs of the visitor.

We use different types of cookies on this website.

This website uses cookies which, depending on the pages you visit, keep track of which products or services may be of interest.
