We explain to you how and why we use cookies on this website, quite openly.
This site may use cookies, which are small text files used to analyse information related to the user's browsing activities (frequency of visits, duration of visits, pages visited, language preferences, etc.). They are stored by the site in a directory on the user's computer. They contain the name of the server, an identifier in the form of a unique number, and an expiry date. The unique identifier enables the site to recognise the user's computer at each visit.
The user can decide whether or not this site's server is allowed to store cookies on his/her computer. The user may change his/her browser settings at any time to prevent cookies from being accepted and stored. Moreover, the user can delete all previously stored cookies at any time, using the browser.
Use of some of the functions on the site may be limited or disabled if the user refuses the site's cookies. It is therefore recommended that the user set his/her browser to accept cookies from the site.
