This cookie policy explains what a computer cookie is, lists the cookies used on this website and their purpose, and sets out how users can manage their consent, in accordance with current legislation.
1- What is a browser cookie?
This section gives an overview of cookies, how they work and what they are used for.
2- Definition
A browser cookie is a small block of text information stored on the user's device, used to remember information between visits to a website.
How cookies work
The cookie's block of information is sent by a web server when a user visits a website, stored persistently on the device by the web browser as a text file, and sent back to the server on each visit.
- Nature: a cookie is a small block of information stored while a user browses a website.
- Sending: the cookie is created by the web server and sent along with the requested page.
- Returning: the cookie is sent back to the server with each page request.
- Content: the content is freely defined by the website visited. It may contain, for example, an identifier, a date, etc.
- Size: the content is deliberately kept short, no more than 4096 characters, to limit the impact on performance (bandwidth).
- Persistence: a cookie has a variable lifespan, chosen by the website as needed, ranging from the length of the browsing session (session cookies) to several months (statistics cookies).
- Number: a website may store several cookies
- Storage: the cookie is stored on the device in a text file, directly by the web browser, without any action on the user's part
- Use: as the cookie is received by the server, the server can use the data it contains on each visit.
- Source: cookies come from the website visited, but also from the services, iframes, etc. called by that website.
Uses
Cookies make it possible to keep data on the device between visits to a website. The stored content may be, for example, a user identifier, settings or session identifiers (session cookie), all of which may be encrypted.
This information is sent back to the web server, which can then use it in the context of the user's browsing, consolidate it and store it in a server-side database.
Ultimately, this makes it possible to maintain a user's authenticated session, or to record user behaviour (visitor statistics, or reuse for advertising, remarketing, etc.).
