    Social cookies

    These cookies are intended to make the site more user-friendly and interactive, by allowing you to interact with social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).

    These cookies can process data such as the amount of content shared through social networks, the fact that you have an account on a social network, the tracking of your browsing on websites, etc. These features are based on third-party applications integrated into our website. The social network providing such an application button is likely to identify you through this button, even if you did not use this button when you visited our site. Indeed, this type of application button may allow the social network in question to track your browsing on our website, by the mere fact that your account on the social network in question was activated on your device (open session) at the same time that you were browsing our website.

    Please refer to the privacy policies of these social networks to discover how the browsing information they can collect using these buttons is used, including for advertising purposes.
