Websites generally use cookies to obtain statistical information about their pages and to analyse user behaviour.
Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI:
- Allowing communication solely between the user’s device and the network.
- Strictly providing a service expressly requested by the user.
Accordingly, exempt cookies include those intended for:
- User input cookies.
- User authentication or identification cookies (session-only).
- User security cookies.

2. TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies may be classified according to the following criteria:

Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by us or by a third party, but where the information collected by the cookies is managed by a third party other than the website owner.
Depending on their storage period:
Session cookies: These last only for the duration of the user’s visit to the website and are deleted once the browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies: These remain stored on the user’s device for a longer period, allowing preferences to be retained without the need to reconfigure them on each visit.
Depending on their purpose:
Technical cookies: These are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the website and for the use of the different services it offers, such as session maintenance, security features, or content sharing.
Personalisation cookies: These allow users to customise website features such as language, regional settings, or browser type.
