Refusal of cookies

If you refuse to save cookies on your terminal, or if you delete those saved on your terminal, you will no longer be able to benefit from a certain number of functionalities which are nevertheless necessary to navigate in certain areas of our site, such as for example:

– If you try to access our content or services that require you to identify yourself,

Why do advertisers show advertisements adapted to your navigation?

It’s a matter of presenting you with the most relevant ads possible. To this end, cookie technology makes it possible to determine in real time which ad to display on a device, based on its recent browsing on one or more sites or applications.

You may prefer to see ads that are relevant to your interests rather than ads that are of no interest to you. Likewise, advertisers who wish to see their ads displayed are interested in displaying their offers to users who are likely to be most interested in them.


If you share the use of your device with others

If your device is used by more than one person and you have more than one browser on your device, we cannot be certain that the services and advertisements for your device are appropriate for your use of your device and not for the use of another user of your device.

In such cases, sharing the use of your device with others and configuring your browser’s cookie settings is your choice and responsibility.
