3. WHAT IS A COOKIE ?

Cookies allow the website to recognize the Buyer's Device when they visit again and are used to collect statistics and save certain user settings (such as the selected language for displaying content).

4. HOW COOKIES WORK :
Technically speaking, cookies are pieces of data that a web server initially sends to a browser. The data is stored in the browser, and each time the site is visited, the browser sends it back to the server.
Without cookies, each page view is an isolated action unrelated to other pages viewed on the same site. Cookies, however, can be used to identify the connection between different page views and analyze a specific visitor's set of actions as a whole *session* (a sequential series of requests within a specific period of time).
Cookies are linked to a specific web domain (i.e., all pages of a single website). These files are automatically sent during subsequent contacts with the same domain, and only the sender of the cookies can read or modify the information they contain. Cookies are only stored by the websites you visit. Websites can only access the cookies they have stored on your Device.

8. REGULATORY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR COOKIES
The storage and use of cookies and other trackers are subject to regulation in France, based on European Directive 2002/58/EC, known as the “ePrivacy” Directive, amended on this point (Article 5.3) by Directive 2009/136/EC. In France, the provisions of these directives have been transposed into Article 82 II of Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, known as the “Data Protection Act,” by Order 2011-2012 of August 24, 2011. To clarify the application of these provisions in France, the CNIL has updated its reference framework: its guidelines No. 2020-091 “Cookies and other trackers” and its operational recommendations No. 2020-092.
The CNIL bases itself on Article 82 of the Data Protection Act to point out that the consent provided for in these provisions refers to the definition and conditions set out in Articles 4.11 and 7 of the GDPR.
Article 4.11 of the GDPR: “consent” of the data subject = Any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
The consent we offer you is cumulatively free, specific, informed, unambiguous, and, as a user of our services, you are able to withdraw it at any time and with ease.
Among the trackers we use, the installation of those intended for audience tracking, marketing, and social networks is subject to your consent. Therefore, when you first visit our website, you will be asked if you accept the installation of this type of cookie, which will only be activated after your acceptance.
This is done via an information banner that appears when you first visit our website. This banner informs you that by continuing to browse our site, you are agreeing to the installation of cookies on your device that are subject to consent. This means that if you leave our site without browsing it, none of the trackers we use will have been installed.
9. reCaptcha add-on
We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. (Google) to protect data entry into forms on your website. This service is used to distinguish between human data entry and automated abuse. This involves sending your IP address and possibly other data that Google needs to operate the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your data will be transmitted to Google and used by their services. However, your IP address will be truncated beforehand and thus anonymized.
