Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help us make the website function properly, make it more secure, provide a better user experience, understand how the website performs and analyse what works and where it needs improvement.
The cookie will help us to recognise your device the next time you visit our website. There are other similar technologies such as pixel tags (transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email, which indicate that a page or email has been viewed), web bugs (similar to pixel tags), and web storage, which are used in desktop software or mobile devices.
There are also technologies such as mobile device identifiers and SDK integrations to help companies recognise your device when you return to an app or otherwise use a service.
As most of the online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our website.
Functional cookies help perform certain functionalities like sharing the content of the website on social media platforms, collecting feedback, and other third-party features.
The issue and use of cookies by third parties are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.

We may include on our site, computer applications from third parties, which allow you to share content from our site with other people or to let these other people know your consultation or your opinion concerning the content of our site/application. This is notably the case with the “Share” and “Like” buttons on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Social networks providing such a sharing button are likely to identify you with this button, even if you did not use this button when visiting our site/application. This type of sharing button may allow the social network concerned to track your browsing on our site, simply because your account with the social network concerned was active on your terminal (open session) while you were browsing on our site.
