The main purpose of our cookies is to improve your browsing experience as, among other things, they help us remember your preferences. This information also allows us to improve our website (for example, by facilitating statistical analysis of its use). In view of these purposes, your sensitive personal identification information is not stored through cookies. The information contained in our cookies is only used by us, except for those related to Google Analytics (managed by Google).

All browsers allow users to accept, refuse or delete cookies, namely by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser, meaning that users can, at any time, partially or totally disable the cookies used on our website.
