Cookie Policy

This policy explains what a cookie is, which cookies are used on this site, for what purposes, and how you can manage them. It complements our privacy policy.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a site. It notably makes it possible to remember certain information between your visits or to ensure the proper functioning of the site. Similar technologies (such as local storage) may serve the same purposes.

2. The cookies we use

This site favours restraint: it uses no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies for marketing purposes and no third-party audience-measurement tools. The cookies present fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

Essential to the operation and security of the site. They make it possible, for example, to manage your session when you are logged in to your account and to protect forms. They cannot be disabled and do not require your consent.

Functional cookies

They remember your preferences to improve your experience — for example the oc_country cookie, which retains the country you have chosen in order to show you relevant content.

Embedded third-party content

Some pages embed third-party services that may place their own cookies when they are displayed or when you interact with them:

Google Maps (location maps of the buildings);
YouTube (embedded videos, in enhanced privacy mode where possible).

These services are provided by Google; their processing is described in Google’s privacy policy.

4. Managing cookies

You can manage or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings, and configure it to warn you when they are placed or to block them. Blocking certain cookies may, however, limit some features (remembering your preferences, displaying maps or videos). You may also choose not to activate the embedded maps or videos in order to limit third-party cookies.
