5. Collection of your consent

When you first visit our site, you will be given the opportunity to accept or decline the use of certain cookies.

If you do not want cookies to be installed or read on your terminal equipment, an opt-out cookie will be placed on your equipment, so that the Publisher can record the information that you have objected to the use of cookies. If you delete this opt-out cookie, it will no longer be possible to identify you as having opted out of the use of cookies.

Similarly, when you accept the use of cookies, a consent cookie is set.

Consent or refusal cookies must remain on your terminal equipment. You can change your wishes at any time as described in the following section entitled “Cookie Management”

6. Cookie management

You have several options for deleting and managing cookies and other trackers.

6.1 Computer settings

While most browsers are set by default to accept the installation of cookies, you can choose to accept all cookies, to reject them systematically or to choose which ones you accept depending on the sender. You can also regularly delete cookies from your terminal via your browser.

However, don’t forget to configure all the browsers on your various terminals (tablets, smartphones, computers, etc.).

The configuration of each browser is different for managing cookies and your preferences. This is described in the help menu of your browser, which will tell you how to change your cookie preferences. For example:

• for Internet Explorer™ : http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-FR/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies ;
• for Safari™: https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/safari;
• for Chrome™: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&hlrm=en&answer=95647;
• for Firefox™ : http://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/Activer et désactiver les cookies;
• for Opera™ : http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/fr/cookies.html.

However, please note that if you set your browser to reject cookies, certain features, pages and areas of the site will not be accessible, for which we cannot be held responsible.

6.2 Opposition platforms

Several advertising platforms also offer you the option to refuse or accept cookies used by their member companies. These centralised mechanisms do not block the display of advertisements, but only prevent the installation of cookies that allow us to tailor advertisements to your interests.

For example, you can visit www.youronlinechoices.com to prevent the installation of these cookies on your terminal. This site is offered by the digital advertising professionals grouped within the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) and managed in France by the Interactive Advertising Bureau France.

It will allow you to find out which companies are registered with this platform and which offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting the cookies used by these companies to adapt the advertisements likely to be displayed on your terminal to your browsing information: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/fr/controler-ses-cookies/.

This European platform is shared by hundreds of Internet advertising professionals and constitutes a centralised interface allowing you to express your refusal or acceptance of the cookies that may be used to adapt the advertisements that may be displayed on your terminal to terminal navigation.

6.3 Cookie management module

Finally, a module allows you to choose which cookies you wish to accept and which you wish to reject on this site.

You can access the module and change your preferences at any time, by clicking on this link [insérer un lien renvoyant vers le module de gestion des cookies] attente de MICHAEL FLEURY .
