We believe that the use of cookies enables us to provide you with a more meaningful web experience. We use cookies and other tracking technologies to see which pages you have visited, for traffic analysis and optimization purposes as well as for re-targeting as part of online marketing campaigns.
We do not collect or store any personal data through these cookies or other tracking technologies.
Our Website uses cookies, i.e. small pieces of information sent to your browser and stored on your computer hard drive which, by themselves, cannot be used to discover your identity.

Re-targeting
Our Website uses retargeting, which allows us to make our online content more interesting for you. Retargeting technology means we can advertise recently viewed and related products on other companies’ sites. We do this by analyzing user behavior from data collected by our cookies. Even this kind of information is anonymous, with no personal information being stored and no user profiles.
The list below describes the cookies we use and what we use them for:
2.1 Cookies required for operation
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the services available on a website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of a site, they are not subject to consent. You can block or remove them by changing your browser settings, but doing so will affect the operation of the site.
Examples :

2.3 Analytics cookies
We use the Google Analytics service. The tool collects information allowing us to understand the interactions with our website, to refine this experience by improving the site but also and especially to better understand our visitors (you!). For example :
- Which themes are the most popular? (to produce more content)
- What are the best sources of traffic? (to understand where we need to make the most marketing efforts)
- How many of our visitors contact us? Visit our social profiles? After seeing what pages? Where did they come from? Are they on mobile or on computer? Are they young or old?
Being able to answer these questions will help us not only to offer you a better experience but also to invest in attracting the right people in an informed way.
Let us be clear: we are not interested in the data of each individual visitor. And anyway, we don’t have access to it. On the other hand, the aggregate data of all our visitors helps us and is valuable for the reasons mentioned above.
Please note that this is not personal information in the true sense of the word. At no time do we have your email address, your name, your age, your address, etc.
At best (with your consent), we have estimates of age ranges, geographical distributions, types of devices used, a measure of actions carried out on our site (beyond simply the pages consulted). We can for example know if you have viewed a video, downloaded a document, clicked on a specific link, etc. But again, we will know it in aggregate, never personally.
By default, without your consent, we have set Google Analytics to collect only basic site usage information. What pages? What sources of traffic? That’s as far as it goes. By refusing the consent below, this cookie (valid for 12 months) will nevertheless be placed on your browser, since the law allows us to do so.
(Note that you have the option to block or remove them by changing your browser settings or installing the browser add-on for Google Analytics deactivation.
However, by giving your consent, the cookie will also be deposited but the information we have enriched. We will then be able to analyze in an aggregated way (never individually, and that does not interest us) who are our visitors who have the most value. We will be able to make a global profiling and thus continue to make contents which please but also if we wish it and with other tools (quoted below), to make targeted advertisements towards relevant people. Either you, because you have visited this site and allowed these features, or people with relatively close interests.
By default, and in accordance with the law, these additional features are not enabled without your consent.
