1.    Session cookies

Session cookies These cookies are essential to assure that a Website works properly and to allow you to move around in it. They are used to identify visitors to be able to provide them with a consistent and accurate service. In fact, session cookies make it possible to identify the country from which a connection to a website is made and automatically direct the user to the version of that Website intended for that country. They also enable users to set up accounts, log in and manage orders and, lastly, make it possible to recognize registered users and automatically give them access to the services dedicated to them.

2.    Performance cookies

Performance cookies can also track the Website’s users on behalf of our partners and are used by the latter only to find out whether a user coming from another website purchases a product or service on the Website.

3.    Functional cookies

These cookies may be generated by the Website or its partners and their duration is limited to one session or prolonged for multiple sessions. Functional cookies are usually and mostly activated if you make an explicit request (for example, if you click on the “Recognise me in the future” tab or activate the live-chat function), but they can also be implemented during the provision of a service that you have not explicitly requested but is offered to you. They can also be used to avoid you being repeatedly offered a service that you refused in the past. These cookies also enable the Website to remember function selections you have made (for example, your username, language, home country, etc.), thereby avoiding you having to input all that information again each time you visit the Website. The information gathered by functional cookies is anonymous and cannot track your behaviour in other websites.
