What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a site. It makes it possible to remember information, such as the language chosen, or to measure traffic. Some cookies are indispensable; others require your consent.
Cookies contain no viruses and give no access to the content of your device. You can delete them at any time from your browser settings.



Essential cookies
They ensure the site works: remembering the language, maintaining the session in the member area, and protecting against cross-site request forgery attacks. They are set without consent, because the site would not function properly without them.
Their lifespan is limited to the session or, for the language, to twelve months. They serve no commercial purpose and are not shared with third parties.
Audience measurement
An anonymised measurement tool counts visits, pages viewed and the general origin of visitors. Addresses are truncated and no data makes it possible to identify an individual user. These statistics are used to improve how pages are organised.
This tool is exempt from consent when it meets the conditions set by the data protection authority. You can nevertheless object to it in one click from the banner or the preferences panel.
Managing your choices
On your first visit, a banner presents the cookies and lets you accept, refuse or customise. Refusing is as easy as accepting. Your choice is kept for six months (indicative), after which you are asked again.
To change it, open the preferences panel from the footer. You can also set your browser to block cookies, at the risk of losing certain functions such as logging in to the member area.
