Cookies have existed for a number of years, and are very widespread. You may already have cookies activated in your computer. Don’t worry.

Because of the essential information they contain, cookies allow us to determine the type of content that may interest you. As well as automatically and more accurately helping to adapt the experience offered by our website, cookies also enable us to identify any error you might find.

Why are we telling you this?
