The cookies we use fall into three main categories:

Essential or technical cookies

While we take care to ensure these third parties manage their cookies appropriately, we are not liable for their practices.

5. Retention Period

We comply with CNIL (French Data Protection Authority) requirements regarding data retention.

Essential or technical cookies are stored for as long as necessary to deliver and maintain the service.
