I. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a text file composed of a line of numbers and letters that may be stored in a device when accessing an online service using a browsing software. The cookie is stored by the browser and sent back to the same web server during subsequent requests. A cookie file allows its issuer, during its validity period, to recognize the specific device whenever it accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer. Cookies and trackers potentially allow tracking not only the entire behavior of a user on a website but also their paths across multiple sites. Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information contained therein.
II. What cookies do we use and what are the purposes?
1 - Essential Cookies

According to Article 82 of the 1978 Data Protection Act, these cookies are exempt from your consent and are required to be activated when using the website. We use "Google Analytics" and "Hotjar" cookies to fulfill the following functions:
1.1 - Functional Cookies
Functional Cookies required for technical purposes, without which the website would not function properly. They allow us to track the performance of our site in terms of audience, behavior, and tool usage to enhance the user experience on our site. Our service providers also use analytical solutions to help us assess the relevance of our content, understand user interests, and improve site functionality. In addition to these tracking devices, we use Web beacons, also known as invisible pixels. These enable us to estimate the number of visitors.
1.2 - Preference Cookies
We also use preference cookies to store information about choices you have made and tailor the site to our users. Here are some use cases: - Remembering the contents of a shopping cart or items for billing; - Customizing the user interface (language, font, or service layout).

However, we are in no way responsible for the practices and privacy policies of these third parties. We only use optional cookies if we have obtained your prior consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation). On your first visit to our website, a banner will appear asking you to give us your consent to the placement of optional cookies. If you give us your consent, we will place a cookie on your computer, and the banner will not appear again as long as the cookie is active. Consent is considered given when you click on the "Accept All" button on the banner. It is through this clear positive act that cookies will be placed on your computer; continuing to navigate the site or visiting our current cookie management policy does not constitute consent.
