3.8.2 What technologies do we use and why ?

Our websites generally use “cookies” and similar techniques to identify your browser or device. A cookie is a small file that is sent to your computer or that is automatically stored on your computer or on your mobile device by the web browser that you use when you visit our website. If you visit this website again, we will be able to recognize you even if we do not know who you are. In addition to cookies which are only used during a session and which are deleted after your visit to the website (“session cookies”), cookies can also be used to store for a specific period (eg two years ) user settings and other information (“permanent cookies”). You can however configure your browser so that it rejects cookies, saves them for only one session or otherwise deletes them in advance. The settings of most browsers are predefined to accept cookies. We use permanent cookies in order to better understand how you use our offers and our content and in order to be able to display offers and advertisements adapted to your needs.

On our website, in our applications and on other digital channels, we sometimes use third-party elements and services that provide us with usage statistics that serve to display third-party advertising or allow the user access social networks and other third-party offers. These third parties are in particular Facebook, Twitter, Google (YouTube), NetMetrix and Optimizely. These third-party services, which can be located in any country in the world (in the case of Google, this is Google LLC in the United States, www.google.com), allow us to measure and evaluate (non-personal) use of the website. Permanent cookies, set up by the service provider, are also used for this purpose. The provider does not receive any personal data from us (and does not keep any IP address), it can however track your use of the website, cross-check this information with data from other websites that you have visited and which are also monitored by the service provider, and use this information for its own purposes (for example monitoring advertising).

When this is the case, these plug-ins are easily identifiable by the user (typically by the use of the corresponding symbols). The relevant social media operators may register that you are on our website and where you are and may use this information for their own purposes. The processing of your personal data will then be the responsibility of this operator, in accordance with its data protection provisions. We do not receive any information about you from them.

However, please note that we reserve the right to invoke, for our part, the restrictions provided by law, for example when we are under an obligation to store or process certain data, when we have a preponderant interest (in to the extent that we can invoke it) or when necessary to exercise our rights.
