How do we measure the website’s audience?
Audience
measurement tools are in place to obtain information about our visitors’
browsing habits. In particular, they help us understand how users get to our
website and retrace their paths. These tools use technologies that can trace
users on our website and associate a “referring site” or a campaign with a
unique identifier. These audience measurement cookies are stored for a maximum
of 13 months. The data they contain is anonymized.
For our cookies,
we use an internal audience measurement tool and do not go through any
third-party suppliers. We have followed the guidelines
from the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) and
configured the tool so that its use does not require your consent.
That being said, you can disable those audience measurement cookies by
