Cookie management

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites put on your computer's hard drive when you first visit.

The cookie contains a unique code that enables your browser to be recognised when you visit the website ("session cookie") or on future repeated visits ("permanent cookie"). Cookies may be placed by the server of the website you are visiting or by partners with which this website collaborates. A website's server can only read the cookies it has placed itself; it has no access to any other information on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser's directory. The contents of a cookie generally consist of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiry date and a unique encrypted code.

Important: cookies are completely harmless. They do not delete any data from your computer, alter any files or programs and cannot contain any viruses.

What are cookies used for?

Thanks to a cookie, our website can recognise you while preserving your anonymity. The website takes note of your preferences and automatically adapts to your wishes. But this information is in no way linked to your name or identity. So, for example, these cookies allow you to surf directly in your own language, so you don't have to fill in your connection details every time. In short, they make using this website much faster and more enjoyable.

Cookies can help you to be more efficient. Have you ever put an item in a virtual basket on an online shop and gone back a few days later and seen that your item is still there? This is an example of the work of cookies.

Cookies can also be used to make the content of a website or advertising on that website more relevant to the visitor and tailor the website to the visitor's personal tastes and needs.

What types of cookies are used

We use different types of cookies on this website.

Required cookies

These cookies are required to enable you to visit our website and use certain parts of it.

Performance cookies

We use performance cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, with the aim of improving its content, tailoring it better to visitors' wishes and increasing its user-friendliness. To analyse the use of our website, we also use Google Analytics (info) and Hotjar (info), which also use cookies for this purpose.

Commercial cookies

This website uses cookies which, depending on the pages you visit, keep up to date with products or services that may be of interest to you. Thanks to these cookies and the means of the Google advertising network (Google AdWords, Google Analytics, the Google Display network and DoubleClick) and Facebook (Facebook, Instagram), we are able to show you advertisements for products and services relevant to your interests on other websites that are part of these advertising networks. This technique is called "remarketing". These cookies do not contain any personal data.

How to refuse or delete cookies

In your browser settings, you have the option of refusing the installation of cookies. You can delete cookies already installed on your computer or mobile terminal at any time. See how to activate, deactivate or delete cookies.

If you don't want to receive advertising based on your browsing habits and remarketing cookies, such as those from Google, you can change the settings in Google Ads Preferences Manager. Google also recommends installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

To find out more about cookies, or how to manage/delete them, treat yourself to a detailed visit to www.aboutcookies.org.

We reserve the right to unilaterally change the cookie policy. Changes will be communicated on this website. If, after the adaptation, you continue to use this website, the adapted cookie policy will apply.
