Informations about cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that, when a website is visited, is installed on the visitor’s hard drive. With cookies, a visitor’s browsing behaviour can be measured for example. Therefore, using cookies, the website can be technically and editorially improved. It is important to know that only the website generating a cookie is likely to read or change the information contained in it. A cookie can have varying durations of activity (from the duration of use of the website up to several years). The website provider decides on the duration based on how the cookie in question is used.

How to manage the cookies generated on your computer?

Storage of a cookie is contingent on the willingness of the user, who can express his/her willingness and change it at any time using the setting options in his/her browser software. If you accepted storage of cookies by your browser in your browser software, the cookies integrated in the pages and content you viewed can be temporarily stored in a dedicated space. Here, they can only be seen by their issuer. If you refuse storage of cookies on your computer, or if you delete those that have been previously stored, you will no longer be able to benefit from the functionalities allowed by these cookies. For example, you will no longer be able to access private spaces secured by a recorded password. You will therefore have to re-enter your passwords for each connection.

How to set cookies in your browser?

You can set your browser so that cookies are stored in it or, on the contrary, so that they are rejected either systematically or according to their source. You can also set your browser so that you are asked to accept or refuse cookies on an ad hoc basis, before a cookie is likely to be stored. Setting of cookies is specific to the browser you use. It is described in the help menu in your browser, which will explain how to change your decisions on cookies.
