Cookie Management

When you visit our “studio-chomette.com” site, information may be recorded in “Cookie” files installed by us or by third parties on your computer, tablet or mobile phone. This page explains what a Cookie is, how we use them and how you can make choices about Cookies. You can also update your preferences by clicking this link.

COOKIES DEFINITION

The word “Cookie” is a generic term that refers to a text file deposited in a dedicated place on the hard disk of your terminal (computer, tablet, mobile phone or any other internet-enabled device) when you access online content or advertising, and to similar technologies used to read or write information on a user’s terminal and track, in combination with the use of Cookies, their activity on the internet or an application. Some Cookies are essential for using the Site; others optimise and personalise the content displayed. The Cookie file contains certain information such as a unique identifier, the name of the Site, and numbers and characters. This Cookie file can only be read by its issuer. It allows the issuer, while it remains valid, to recognise the terminal concerned each time the terminal accesses digital content containing Cookies from the same issuer and to remember information, such as user preferences or information previously entered by the user in forms on the Site. Some Cookies may also be used to store the contents of a shopping cart, while others hold the language settings for a site, and still others are used for targeted advertising. A Cookie does not directly identify a user (it does not contain names or surnames), but the browser of the terminal (usually a mobile device) you’re using. It does, however, allow the activity of a user with a unique identifier in the Cookie file to be tracked. The term “Cookies” is also used generically to refer to other similar technologies such as web beacons and tracking pixels, which are small digital images invisible to the user on web pages or emails which, combined with Cookies, allow the same user’s browsing to be tracked and analysed.
