Privacy Settings
A cookie is a file that the visited site stores on the computer or on any peripheral used to browse the Internet, in order, for instance, to send session information for each page, or to record that a particular page has been accessed. The aim is to optimize browsing in terms of its convenience, efficiency and pertinence.
The information is stored in the cookie for a limited time. It is anonymous and relates to the pages visited and the time spent on each, the means used for browsing (operating system, browser and resolution, etc.), the searches made, and the IP address, in order to make rough groupings by geographical area etc.
For those affected, a module for managing cookie storage is available on the portal.
