How to accept, reject or delete cookies?
Upon your first visit to our website, and every 6 months thereafter, you will be asked to accept the collection and use of cookies. To that end, our website will display a central window asking you to accept the collection of cookies or to set your choices (if you wish to change them or refuse all or some of these cookies).
Please note that refusing cookies may reduce your experience on our site. We decline all responsibility for the possible consequences of this refusal, in particular for the absence of content adapted to your navigation and your choices.
Moreover, whatever your choice, you can at any time:
- Change your settings in our cookie management program [mettre un lien clickable vers le CMP], exclusively for cookies collected through our site;
- And/or, to delete the cookies from your device through your browser, whereby these choices apply to your entire navigation of the Internet.
Here is some useful information about setting cookies on browsers:
By default, most browsers are set to accept the use of all cookies and trackers. You can change this setting to select the trackers you want to use, or to refuse the use of trackers. This setting must be done on each of your devices (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.).
The method for setting and deleting cookies varies from one browser to another. These procedures are described in the help menu of your browser. Below you will find the methods for setting the parameters of the trackers for the most common navigators:
Internet Explorer : Cookiemanagement for Internet Explorer ;
Safari : Cookiemanagement for Safari
Chrome : Cookiemanagement for Chrome
Firefox : Cookiemanagement for Firefox.
If you choose to delete all cookies from your device via your browser, we will no longer have any information about the settings you have chosen and will have to ask you to reset your choices the next time you visit our site. This also applies if you use a new browser or device. Since these settings are managed entirely by the browsers, we cannot guarantee their correct operation.
And more information on institutions, according to their purpose:
Sometimes the browser settings are insufficient. If you wish, you can further refine your settings by indicating the purposes of each cookie:
- Cookies for tracking internet usage and performance: cookies for tracking internet usage and performance are filed by third parties, but they help us to improve our website and make it easier and more efficient to use.
Here is a link to a page that will give you more information on these solutions and provide you with a mechanism to oppose tracking:
Google Analytics (and other Google products)
Tradelab
Google Analytics (and other products like « Double Click »)
Hotjar
Facebook
Microsoft Bing Ads
The travel desk Inc
However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that deleting these cookies will deprive us of important statistical information, which is necessary to improve the site and adapt it to your profile and interests.
- For advertising: Our website does not contain any advertising space. Consequently, the information collected is mainly used to offer you customised advertising on the third-party sites that you visit, based on the information collected thanks to the aforementioned tools for measuring Internet use (the tools used are identical for these two purposes). In addition, several platforms of advertising professionals offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting cookies used by member companies. These centralised mechanisms do not block the display of advertisements, but only prevent the installation of cookies that enable the adaptation of advertisements to your centres of interest. For example, you can visit the Your Online Choices site to prevent these cookies from being installed on your device. This site has been proposed by the digital advertising professionals grouped together in the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). However, we cannot guarantee that it will be fully effective, as the proper functioning of this tool depends on the advertising industry's cooperation in this system.
- For social networks: On this website, you will find referral buttons to the pages we publish on social networks. If you have an account with these social networks, they can also track your navigation on our site.

- We may also offer you the connection services offered by social networks or certain web players (e.g. Facebook connect, Google connect, Apple Connect) to facilitate your registration and purchases. If you decide to use this function, it will enable you, if you are already a user of these services, to register on our site without having to re-register your information, by giving us permission to access this information. For more information on the sharing of information and the use of these tools, we invite you to click on the following links :

Finally, we would like to point out that there are many programmes that can be added to your browser to enable you to block and manage all types of trackers, such as Abine or Ghostery..
