We may authorise certain commercial partners to install technologies on our site.

Statistics and audience measurement
In terms of analysis, we work with Google Analytics to obtain information about the use of our website in order to improve it. This can be deactivated via the cookie management panel. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analysis purposes, you can also install the Google Analytics deactivation browser add-on by clicking here.

Storage periods for your data
This makes it possible to automatically recognise and approve subsequent comments instead of leaving them in the moderation queue. For users who register on our site (where possible), we also store the personal data indicated in their profile. All users can view, modify or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception of their username). Site managers can also view and modify this information.
The rights you have over your data
If you have an account or if you have left comments on the site, you can ask to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including the data you have provided to us. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Transmission of your personal data
Visitors' comments may be checked using an automated service to detect undesirable comments. All the personal data we process is processed within the European Union.
How we protect your data
We implement and constantly update site security to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, destruction or alteration. We therefore work to make your data as invulnerable as possible. As the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot fully guarantee the security of the transmission or storage of your information.
