    3. Cookies policy

    A cookie is a cookie, i.e. a text file that can be stored in a dedicated space on your Terminal's hard disk when you visit a website. A cookie allows its issuer to identify the Terminal in which it is stored, during the period of validity or registration of the cookie.

    When you consult the Site, information relating to the navigation of your Terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) may be recorded through cookies installed on your Terminal, subject to the choices you have made regarding cookies and that you can modify at any time.

    3.1 What are the cookies on our Site used for?

    Only the issuer of a cookie is likely to read or modify the information contained therein.

    When you connect to the Site, the Data Controller may, subject to your choices, install various cookies on your Terminal to recognize your Terminal's browser during the validity period of the cookie concerned. The cookies we issue are used for the purposes described below.

    The cookies we issue allow us to:

  • to carry out studies and establish statistics and volumes of visits and use of the various elements composing our Site (sections and contents visited, routes), allowing the Data Controller to improve the interest and ergonomics of his services;
  • adapt the presentation of the Site to the display preferences of your Terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) when you visit the Site, depending on the display or reading hardware and software that your Terminal contains; and
  • to implement security measures, for example when you are asked to reconnect to content or a service after a certain period of time.

    • 3.2. Your choices regarding cookies

    There are several ways to manage cookies. Any settings you may make may affect your Internet browsing and your access to certain services that require the use of cookies.

    You can choose at any time to express and modify your wishes regarding cookies by the means described below.

    In particular, you can configure your browser software so that cookies are stored on your Terminal or, on the contrary, that they are rejected, either systematically or according to their origin.

    You can also configure your browser software so that you are offered the option of accepting or rejecting cookies from time to time, before a cookie is likely to be stored on your Device. For more information, see "How to make your choices, depending on the browser you use" in Article 4.2.3. below.

    3.2.1. The cookie agreement

    The recording of a cookie on a Terminal is essentially subject to the will of the Terminal user, who can express and modify it at any time and free of charge through the choices offered to him by his browser software.

    If you have accepted the registration of cookies in your Terminal in your browser, the cookies embedded in the pages and content you have viewed may be temporarily stored in a dedicated area of your Terminal. They will be readable only by their transmitter.

    3.2.2. Refusal of cookies

    If you refuse to accept cookies on your Terminal, or delete those already stored on your Terminal, the quality of the operation of the services offered by the Site will not be degraded.

    However, you will no longer be able to benefit from a number of features that may be necessary to navigate in certain areas of the Site. This would be the case if you tried to access the content or services for which the installation of cookies is strictly necessary (e.g. booking a stay). This would also be the case if the Data Controller - or his service providers - could not recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your Terminal, its language and display settings or the country from which your Terminal seems connected to the Internet.

    If necessary, the Data Controller declines any responsibility relating to the consequences related to the operation of his services resulting from the impossibility for him to record or consult the cookies necessary for their operation and that you have refused or deleted.

    We would like to point out that some cookies cannot be deleted as they are strictly necessary for the technical functioning of the Site.

    3.2.3. How to make your choices, depending on the browser you use?

    For the management of cookies and your choices, the configuration of each browser is different. It is described in the help menu of your browser, which will allow you to find out how to change your cookie preferences.
