Cookies
1. What is a cookie and/or a tracker?
It is brought to your attention that, when you visit this website, cookies and other trackers may be installed or used to access information from your PC equipment.
The term ‘cookies’ covers several technologies, such as:
• http cookies,
• flash cookies,
• browser fingerprinting,
• web beacons,
• and all other identifiers generated by an operating system or software (MAC address, serial number, identifier for vendors (IDFV), etc.)
A cookie is a small text file downloaded onto your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit a website.
There are two types of cookies:
- First-party cookies: stored by Synergie
- Third-party cookies: stored by third parties.
Web beacons are fragments of code. They come in the form of tiny graphic images, invisible to the user, on a web page or in an email.
They can recognise certain types of information. When a web beacon is used in an email, it can reveal the time and date that the email is read. When placed on a web page, they can also provide a description of this web page.
The unique fingerprints of devices make it possible to identify the user of a website or mobile application in a unique manner. These are computed using the technical characteristics of its browser.
