- For more information on the Google Chrome browser: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=fr&hlrm=en ;
- For more information on the Firefox browser: https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/autoriser-bloquer-cookies-preferences-sites?redirectlocale=fr&redirectslug=activer-desactiver-cookies-preferences and https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/desactiver-cookies-tiers;

However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that :
- do not all allow you to distinguish between cookies according to their purpose (as a result, you are often obliged to configure your choices to “accept all” or “reject all”) ;
- do not all allow the User to express valid consent (which means that despite your consent to cookies via your browser, we will ask you again for specific consent under the conditions and according to the methods described above before any cookies subject to your consent are installed/read by us);
- do not all allow you to choose technologies other than “cookies for tracking purposes” in the strict sense of the term. It is therefore possible that certain cookies, tracers or other similar technologies are not blocked on principle (e.g. device fingerprinting) and may still be installed and/or activated despite your refusal expressed in the settings of your browser .
However, if you decide to prohibit cookies, we cannot be held responsible for any degradation in the functioning of the Website as a result of the settings you have chosen.
Finally, if you have deactivated one or more cookies, we can still use the information collected by these cookies before they were deactivated. However, we will stop collecting data via the cookie that was refused.
c) Use of third-party tools available online
You can obtain information on how to control your data when browsing the Internet on the website of the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés or “CNIL” (https://www.cnil.fr/fr/maitriser-mes-donnees, in particular https://www.cnil.fr/fr/cookies-les-outils-pour-les-maitriser). In this respect, third-party cookies are not usually necessary to take advantage of the resources available on the Internet. If you wish to limit your traces, it is recommended that you refuse them by default, by referring to the CNIL’s advice.
