The user is informed that cookies or similar technologies are used when accessing the website, unless the user has opted out. This decision can be changed at any time.
A cookie enables its issuer to recognise the terminal in question (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) during its period of validity when it accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer. A cookie stores information about your computer’s browsing behaviour on our website (the pages you have accessed, the date and time of access, etc.), which we can read during subsequent visits.
These cookies make surfing easier and make the website more user-friendly.
The user can object to the storage of cookies by reconfiguring the parameters of their browser as described below. In this case, access to certain services and sections of the website may change or even be completely denied.
Websites may use different types of cookies:
(a) cookies to record browsing behaviour on the website :
Such navigation cookies allow the performance of the site and its applications to be improved. These cookies may be stored on the user’s device without the user being informed and without having to give their express prior consent.
In particular, these navigation cookies enable
- adapt the presentation of the website to the display preferences of the terminal (language, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) during the user’s visits to the website, adapted to the hardware and software used by the terminal to display or read the information
- the storage of information from the form that the user has filled out on the site or the content that the user has selected on the site
b) Web analytics cookies :
Online audience measurement cookies help to compile statistics and register the frequency and use of the various components of the website (sections and content visited, browsing paths). They help the provider to make the content more interesting and the service more ergonomic.
c) Google Analytics and privacy
This website uses a web analysis service provided by Google Inc (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). The information generated by the cookies about your use of the website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses this information to analyse your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity for its operators. Google also provides other services related to the use of the website and the internet. Therefore, Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will use this information for the purpose of analysing your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Therefore, Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with other Google data. The user can deactivate cookies by changing the parameters of their browser.
d) Cookies for advertising purposes and behavioural analysis
Behavioural analysis cookies can be used to determine which information from websites might be of most interest to the user and how to improve their surfing behaviour and make it more interesting. These cookies can also determine in real time, based on the user’s recent browsing actions on the site, which adverts should be shown to them now so that they do not see the same thing so often. They can also be used to measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.
The advertising content may contain third-party cookies: either cookies from the relevant advertising content providers or external third-party companies (advertising agency, web analytics company, targeted advertising provider, etc.) or from ad suppliers who add cookies to an advertiser’s content.
These cookies also offer the possibility of reminding a user who has not confirmed or paid for their shopping basket when leaving the site by e-mail or by displaying an advert on a partner site. Satisfaction surveys can also be offered in this context.
Subject to the user’s consent and thanks to the analysis of their browsing behaviour, we may also send them targeted electronic advertising messages.
The user may at any time request that the sending of this advertising or this advertising tailored to the surfing behaviour of his terminal device be stopped. To do so, they can contact BUBENDORFF SAS directly and free of charge or activate the unsubscribe link contained in each advertisement sent by email by the provider. If the user decides against this behavioural advertising, this does not mean that he will no longer receive advertising on the Internet. It only means that the advertising that appears on the website or in the application no longer matches the user’s interests or browser preferences.
If BUBENDORFF SAS intends to request information from a third party about the user’s browsing behaviour, which the company could then combine with the data provided by the user, BUBENDORFF SAS will obtain the user’s express consent in advance and only then link the data or send the user advertising or personalised offers. Explicit authorisation consists of ticking or activating a box in the corresponding service area to which the user is logged in.
e) Cookies for sharing on social networks :
BUBENDORFF SAS offers users features that allow them to share editorial content and any other content published on the website on social network sites. Social network cookies are managed by the provider of the social network site. This provider can identify the user using the “Share” buttons, even if this button was not used when accessing our website or app. In fact, such buttons may allow the social network concerned to track the user’s browsing behaviour on a website, provided that the user’s account on this network is activated on their device while browsing the website (open session).
BUBENDORFF SAS has no control over the data collection process used by the social networks to collect information about the user’s browsing behaviour on the website and link it to the personal data held by such networks. The user is therefore invited to consult the cookies policies of the social networks on the respective sites. In particular, these protection regulations must allow the user to make their own choices, especially when parameterising their user accounts on each social network.
