5.1       What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that may be placed on a terminal when consulting an online service with browser software. In particular, a cookie file allows its issuer, during its validity period, to recognise the terminal concerned each time that terminal accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer.

In any event, cookies placed on your browsing terminal with your consent are destroyed 13 months after being placed on your terminal.

We disclaim any responsibility for the consequences related to the degraded functioning of our services resulting from the inability to record or consult the cookies necessary for their functioning and which you have refused or deleted. This would be the case if you attempted to access our content or services that require you to identify yourself. This would also be the case where we (or our providers) could not recognise, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your terminal, its language and display settings, or the country from which your terminal appears to be connected to the Internet.
