WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie or tracker is a small file stored by a server on a user’s device (computer, phone, etc.) and associated with a web domain (in most cases, all pages of the same website). This file is automatically sent back during later visits to the same domain.
A cookie may be used to:
- Store an identifier used to track browsing, consumption habits or movements for statistical or advertising purposes
- Store a client identifier on a website
- Store the display language of a web page
The cookies used are exclusively functional (first-party) cookies that ensure the proper functioning of the website and do not require user consent in accordance with CNIL requirements.
A distinction is generally made between “internal” cookies, placed by the visited website on its own domain, and “third-party” cookies, placed on domains different from that of the main website. These third-party cookies are mainly used to enable third parties to track visited pages and collect information about users, particularly for advertising purposes.
Some cookies require user consent.
