What kind of cookies is used on this website, and what for?
This website uses cookies for different purposes, including:
- Analysis cookies: those cookies are processed either internally or by third party entities, and allow us to quantify the number of users, and thus to perform measurements and statistical analysis on how users use our services. To do so, we analyze how the users browse our website in order to improve user experience.
- Technical cookies: those cookies allow the user to browse the website or the application, and to use the different options or services that are offered. For instance, they are used to control traffic and data communications, to identify sessions, to grand access to restricted access parts of the service, to memorise the details of an order, to handle registration or participation to an event, to enable security systems during browsing, and to store contents for video or sound distribution.
- Personalisation cookies: those cookies allow the user to access or use the service with some general specifications that are either predefined in their terminal, or user defined.
