These protection policies must notably allow you to exercise your choices with these social networks, in particular by configuring your user accounts for each of these networks.
Advertising content may contain cookies issued by third parties: either the advertiser at the origin of the advertising content concerned, or a third-party company to the advertiser (communication consulting agency, audience measurement company, targeted advertising provider, etc.), which has associated a cookie with the advertising content of an advertiser.
Where applicable, the cookies issued by these third parties may allow them, during the validity period of these cookies:
- to count the number of displays of advertising content distributed via our advertising spaces, to identify the advertisements thus displayed, the number of users who clicked on each advertisement, allowing them to calculate the sums due as a result and to establish statistics,
