If the User refuses the storage of Cookies on their device or browser, or if the User deletes Cookies stored there, the User is informed that their navigation and experience on the Website may be limited. This may also be the case when the Publisher, for technical compatibility purposes, cannot recognize the type of browser used by the device, the language and display settings, or the country from which the device appears to be connected to the Internet.
If applicable, the Website Publisher declines all responsibility for the consequences linked to the degraded functioning of the Website and services possibly offered by the Website resulting from (i) the User’s refusal of Cookies, or (ii) the impossibility for the Website to store or consult Cookies necessary for their operation due to the User’s choice.

These tags are placed both in online advertisements allowing users to access the Website and on various pages of the Website itself.
This technology enables the Publisher to evaluate visitors’ responses to the Website and the effectiveness of its actions (for example, how many times a page is opened and what information is viewed), as well as the User’s usage of this Website.
The external service provider may collect information about visitors to the Website and other websites through these tags, generate reports on Website activity for the Publisher, and provide other services related to the use of the Website and the Internet.
