If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we advise against uploading images containing EXIF data with GPS coordinates. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these images.

Our Site may submit forms offering content downloads (PDF guides, video guides) and/or subscription to email campaigns (newsletters, content distribution programs). Other personal information may be used, such as your phone number, for SMS campaigns. To ensure that this subscription results from a deliberate choice, our forms clearly state how your data will be used, in the form of a checkbox.

We may integrate a CRM-type customer relationship management tool into our Site, which will provide data allowing us to associate tags with your profile and/or analyze your user journey. This information gives us the opportunity to improve and provide relevant content. Personal data stored by our CRM is accessible only to our administrators and is not transferred to third-party partners.

However, this use of cookies is not linked in any way to personally identifiable information on our Site. You have the option to specify your consent for certain data collected and processed when browsing our Site by clicking the button opposite. CNIL provides information on how to more strictly control these cookies.

5.2. What Cookies Allow Us to Do

These cookies allow us to improve navigation by saving configuration preferences (languages, resolution, display, etc.), optimize security by blocking simultaneous access by multiple users attempting to access certain identical content, store personal information related to a form you completed during your registration for one of our services, remember the products and/or services you ordered until the confirmation page of your order, enable caching of pages of our websites or services for faster access to these various pages.

5.3. Comment Cookies

If you leave a comment on our Site, you will be offered to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is solely for your convenience, so you do not have to enter this information again if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

5.4. Account Cookies

If you have an account and log in to this Site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser. When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. A login cookie's lifespan is two days, while a screen option cookie lasts for a year.

These features use third-party cookies directly deposited by these services.

5.6. Audience Statistics Cookies

To analyze navigation and use of our Site, we may use services provided by third-party providers such as Google Analytics, Mix Panel, Amplitude, or HotJar. These providers use cookies to extract information such as the referring URL, the frequency with which you use the services, events related to the service's use, usage data, performance data, and the location from which the application was downloaded. To prevent Google Analytics from collecting information through our Site or other sites, you can use tools as described here. These cookies allow us to obtain the visitor volume of our website and services, such as the number of visits, unique visitors, pages viewed, and information on the use of categories, content visited, and navigation paths taken. Deleting these cookies does not affect browsing our website or using our services. However, refusing these cookies will result in displaying editorial content that is not tailored to your interests and will make troubleshooting issues on our site less effective. Your IP address is also temporarily collected to determine the city from which you are connecting. It is immediately anonymized after use. We cannot, therefore, trace it back to an individual. The personal data collected (cookie identifier) is stored on our site for 24 months. They are not transferred to third parties or used for other purposes. You can choose to refuse cookies and the statistical analysis of your browsing data through the preference manager accessible by the button above. To improve the user experience and the quality of our services, we may use tracking systems attached to a customer relationship management tool (CRM). These tools implement cookies to gather information such as page paths followed, actions performed (clicks, form submission, etc.).

5.7. Advertising Cookies

Our site may use third-party advertising tools that allow us to promote our services on a network of support such as other sites you visit and other applications you use. The ads displayed will depend on various criteria, such as the pages viewed, your age, gender, demographic data, searches, user-generated content, interests, and other information derived from you. To help us place these targeted advertisements on other websites or mobile applications, we use third-party services such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. These services use cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other devices to collect information about your use of the services. We do not have access to the use of cookies or other tracking technologies placed by non-affiliated third-party advertising technologies, ad servers, third-party ad networks, or other non-affiliated third parties on your devices used to access the services, and this policy cannot govern this use. To understand how you can block these services, we recommend reviewing the content on Google's ad settings here, the Network Advertising Initiative, or the Digital Advertising Alliance. Regarding display on your smartphone, each manufacturer provides documentation on how to manage cookie preferences, so we invite you to refer to them. We do not control the links provided above and below to disable targeted advertising or a given company's decision to offer such opt-out mechanisms. We are not responsible for the choices you make when using these options, their availability over time, or their accuracy.
