What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookie modules and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie,” “HTTP cookie,” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.

Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a specific duration of existence, remaining “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the user’s hard drive on whose equipment they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts: the name of the cookie and the content or value of the cookie.

From a technical point of view, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.

For what purposes are cookies used on this website:

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services adapted to the needs and interests of each user, namely to:

– improve the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur during its visit/use by users;

– provide anonymous statistics regarding how this website is used to the website owner;

– anticipate possible products that will be offered to users in the future through this website, based on the services/products accessed.

Based on the feedback provided through cookies regarding the way this website is used, the owner may take measures to make this website more efficient and accessible to users.

Thus, the use of cookies allows the storage of certain settings/preferences set by users of this website, such as:

What is the lifespan of cookies?

The lifespan of cookies can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. There are the following categories of cookies that determine their lifespan:

Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.

Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie is a cookie that remains stored in the user’s terminal until it reaches a specific expiration date (which can be in a few minutes, days, or several years in the future) or until it is deleted by the user at any time through the browser settings.
