How to set up cookie preferences?
It is possible at any time to get information and set up cookies to accept or refuse them either globally or service by service. However, by rejecting some of the cookies your user experience can be lowered.
Cookie preferences can be configured by accessing the cookie settings console.
You can also set up the browser so that cookies are stored in the terminal or, on the contrary, rejected, either systematically or according to their publisher. The configuration of the browser allows you to accept or reject cookies on an ad hoc basis before a cookie is likely to be registered in the terminal. The configuration of each browser is different and described in the browser help menu.
How to set up cookies issued by third parties?
The issuance and use of cookies by third parties is subject to the privacy and/or cookie policies of the said third parties.
We are likely to integrate third-party software applications into our site to allow sharing of our content with other people or to inform others about the visit on our site or share the opinion on its content. This is particularly the case with the "Share" and "Like" buttons of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Social networks providing these button apps can use such buttons to identify the user even if the button itself was not used during the visit to our site. Indeed, this type of button can allow the social network to track the navigation on our site, simply because the account on the social network was active on the device (open session) during the visit on our site.
We have no control over the processes used by social networks to compile information about visits of our site, or related personal data available to them. We invite you to read the privacy policies of these social networks to understand the purposes of collecting browsing information that they can compile through these buttons, especially about advertising. Social media policies should allow the individual choice by setting the parameters of each account.
Finally, you can log on to the www.youronlinechoices.com site, created by professional associations, and follow the instructions offered by this site to help you control, authorize or block cookies registered in the terminal you are using.
