Cookie consent management
We use a cookie consent management tool to collect and manage your choices. When you first visit the Website, the cookie banner enables you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject all non-essential cookies; or
- customise your choices by cookie category.
The “Accept” and “Reject” options are presented with equivalent visibility and accessibility. No non-essential category is pre-selected. Refusing cookies is as simple as accepting them.
We keep a record of consent and refusal choices to demonstrate compliance. You may also manage your preferences at any time through our cookie management tool.
How to block cookies
You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags. You do this by blocking them on your device or by removing them and adjusting preferences on your browser. This may vary from device to device and from browser to browser.

How to opt-out of third-party cookies and targeted ads.
To opt out of tracking analytics placed by Google, you can opt out by using this form. This works for all websites that use Google’s services to track and gather analytics data.
This opt-out is browser- and device-specific. It uses an opt-out cookie; if that cookie is deleted, the opt-out choice may need to be set again.
To understand and responsibly manage cookies that enable interested-based ads we strongly recommend consulting the guidance published by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) and the European advertising preferences platform Your Online Choices. To learn more about online behavioural advertising and to manage your advertising preferences, please visit Your Online Choices. However, please note that if you “opt-out” you will keep seeing links and online advertisements; however, they will not be specifically targeted to you or tailored to your interests.
Third-party opt-out mechanisms are complementary to the prior-consent mechanism provided on this Website.
International Transfers
Some of the cookies we use involve transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly to the United States (e.g. Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity).
