These data are used solely for the purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on Site utilization, to check that the Site is working properly, and to improve the User browsing experience. They are deleted immediately after processing. The data may be used to ascertain liability in the event of hypothetical cybercrimes to the detriment of the Site.
   
   Data voluntarily provided by Users: the optional, explicit and voluntary dispatch of data in web forms or of electronic mail to the addresses indicated on this Site involves subsequent acquisition of the sender's address – necessary to respond to requests – as well as of any other personal data included in the message.

Specific security measures are observed to prevent loss of data, unlawful use or abuse and unauthorized access.



6. Cookie handling

   
   Cookies are small pieces of text that a website, when visited by a user, sends to the user's browser. These text cookies are then stored on the user's computer and are used by the same website the next time the user browses them. When browsing a website, users can also be sent cookies which come from different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties"), which can be included in various elements (for example, images, maps, sounds and specific links to pages of other domains) found on the same site as the one that the user is browsing.
   
   Cookies can have different functions:

   • Technical cookies allow websites to remember the user while browsing a website;
   • Analytical cookies collect aggregated information concerning the most frequently visited sections of websites and monitor the promotional messages conveyed from the website, in order to enhance contents and facilitate consultation;
   • Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to the user, based on the browsing experience of both individual websites and of general web navigation. These cookies are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user whilst surfing the net.
