1. Essential or technical cookies
Essential or technical cookies are those whose sole purpose is to enable or facilitate communication by electronic means, or those strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service at the express request of the user.
These cookies enable specifically:

- Remembering information relating to the contents of a shopping basket, or to forms that the user has filled in on the site;

2. Audience measurement cookies
Audience measurement cookies are used to obtain information about the user's browsing (examples of reasons: performance measurement, detection of browsing problems, optimisation of technical performance or ergonomics, estimating the server power required, analysis of content viewed, etc.).
Advertising cookies are related to targeted advertising, i.e. observing users' browsing habits, making it possible to create a specific profile in order to show advertisements tailored to them.
4. Third-party cookies
Our website or mobile application may also contain third-party cookies.
We ensure that third party services manage these cookies correctly, but we cannot be held responsible for them.
5. How long are they kept?
We comply with the CNIL's requirements regarding data retention periods.
Technical or essential cookies are kept for the time required to provide and operate the service.
As far as audience measurement cookies are concerned, their lifetime is no longer than 13 months. Information collected through trackers is kept for 25 months.
Other cookies are kept for a reasonable period of time necessary for the purposes for which they are used. The validity of the consent granted will not exceed 13 months.
6. Consent and exemption
In accordance with CNIL guidelines, some cookies require prior consent while others are exempt.
Cookies that require your prior consent are cookies of an advertising nature.
Technical and audience measurement cookies are exempt.
With regard to audience measurement cookies that would process personal data, you can exercise your right to object.
To collect consent and manage the right to object, we use a Consent Management Platform ("CMP").
