What is a cookie?

1. Definition

Cookies are text files that contain certain information that is downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the original website on each subsequent visit, or when you visit a site that recognises the cookie. They allow a website to recognise a user’s device and often facilitate the user experience.

2. Types of cookies

It is possible to categorise cookies on the basis of several criteria: their essential character, their retention period, their origin, or their purpose.

1. Essential and non-essential cookies
Essential cookies are cookies that are essential to the operation of our website. They allow you to browse our website and use the main features of our site.
Non-essential cookies are cookies that help personalise your user experience on our website but are not essential to its operation.
According to article 129 of the law of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications, your consent is not required for the activation of essential cookies. Non-essential cookies cannot be used without your prior consent and are therefore the subject of the request sent to you via our cookie banner that appears on your first visit to our site.

2. Persistent and session cookies
Persistent or permanent cookies remain after the session is closed. They are kept on the user’s device until they expire (all persistent cookies contain an expiration date) or until the user deletes the cookies. Persistent cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user (his behaviour during a surfing session, preferences for a specific website…).
Session cookies only last for the duration of the visit to a website (session) and are deleted when the user closes the browser.

3. Own and third-party cookies
First-party cookies belong to the site you choose to go to.
Third-party cookies are cookies related to the activities of third-party partners. They are imported from a site whose content can be accessed indirectly, for example via an image or a banner.
