Our site uses cookies and other trackers that may automatically record personal information. Their use aims to make the use of the site more pleasant.

Data related to searches and navigation may be processed for advertising targeting purposes by us.

These data are used particularly for statistical measurement, analysis of user behavior, and geolocation.

9. BROWSERS AND COOKIES

Recent versions of major browsers allow you to control the traceability of your browsing and oppose the storage of cookies. By adjusting your browser settings, you can conduct browsing sessions, after which all cookies installed during that session are automatically deleted.

10. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Our site uses a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (Google) called Google Analytics. It uses cookies. Data generated by cookies about your use of the site, including your IP address, will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located abroad, including in countries with a lower level of data protection thank Switzerland. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the site, compile reports on site activity, and provide other services related to site activity and internet usage. Google may disclose this data to third parties if required by law or when these third parties process the data on Google’s behalf, including the site operator.

By visiting our website, you expressly consent to the processing of your personal data by Google under the conditions and for the purposes described here and accept Google’s terms of use.

11. SOCIAL NETWORKS

Our website uses plugins from social networks, specifically LinkedIn.

These plugins are identified by logos.

When you open a page on our website containing such a plugin, your browser automatically establishes a connection with LinkedIn servers. The plugin’s content is directly transmitted by LinkedIn to your browser and integrated into the web page.

Through the integration of a plugin, LinkedIn is informed that you have visited the corresponding page on our website. If you are logged into LinkedIn at that moment, they can associate your visit to our site with your user account. Furthermore, if you interact with the plugins, such as by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is directly transmitted by your browser to their servers and stored there.

By logging out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our site, you can prevent LinkedIn from collecting information about you during your visit to our website.

However, please note that even if you are not logged into your LinkedIn account, data may still be transmitted to LinkedIn by websites containing LinkedIn elements via cookies containing a marker. This may enable LinkedIn to establish a profile indicating the web pages visited by the user associated with the mentioned marker. By correlation, they may be able to link the marker to a user account during a subsequent login to the user account.

If you do not want data about you to be collected via these cookies, you can enable the “Block third-party cookies” function in your browser settings.

To learn more about the purpose and scope of the data collection, processing, and use by LinkedIn, as well as your rights and options for setting to protect your privacy, please consult their respective data protection policies.
