  • measures to protect the website and platform users against cyber-attacks:
  • measures to prevent and detect fraud attempts;
  • transmission of information to the competent public authorities;
  • other risk management measures.

We therefore commit ourselves:

  • protect the privacy of your data, which is a top priority for our company management;
  • to use this data for the sole purpose of providing you with a personalized experience on our website as well as on the online platforms that we promote our products and services (Facebook and Google, etc.).

Your personal data will be used in a number of ways, only if we have your consent, depending on their nature and specificity. Below we have detailed all types of data we collect and how we use them later:

We use this data to determine how you use our site to make the necessary changes to help you find the information you are looking for;

Unique device identifiers

A unique device identifier (sometimes called a universally unique ID or UUID) is a string of characters that is incorporated into a device by its manufacturer and can be used to uniquely identify that device (for example an IMEI-number of a mobile phone). Different device identifiers vary in how permanent they are, whether they can be reset by users, and how they can be accessed. A given device may have several different unique device identifiers. Unique device identifiers can be used for various purposes, including security and fraud detection, syncing services such as a user’s email inbox, remembering the user’s preferences and providing relevant advertising.

Https header

Given the current state of the technology, implementation costs and the nature, purpose, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the risk of various possibilities of affecting the rights and freedoms of individuals, we have put in place a series of appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of appropriate security by:

- pseudonymization and encryption of personal data;

- the ability to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and ongoing resilience of processing systems and services;

In other words, the GDPR requires that information is protected by "appropriate technical and organizational measures", including the encryption of personal data and the ability to ensure the continued confidentiality of systems and services. Digital certificates (including TLS / SSL) and encryption are de facto requirements for all confidential communications across the online world for more than 30 years and are among the most ubiquitous paradigms existing today.

Application data cache

An application data cache is a data repository on a device. It can, for example, enable a web application to run without an internet connection and improve the performance of the application by enabling faster loading of content.

Browser web storage

Browser web storage enables websites to store data in a browser on a device. When used in "local storage" mode, it enables data to be stored across sessions (for example, so that the data are retrievable even after the browser has been closed and reopened). One technology that facilitates web storage is HTML 5.

Cookie policy and other similar technologies

The cookie Policy is widely detailed in a separate Section on this page. Please refer to this section, in order to review it.

A device is a computer that can be used to access Google services. For example, a device could be a desktop, tablet or smartphone.

This is information that is recorded about users so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user.

Pixel tag

A pixel tag is a type of technology placed on a website or within the body of an email for the purpose of tracking activity on websites, or when emails are opened or accessed, and is often used in combination with cookies.

Sensitive Categories and Sensitive Personal information

An advertising category may be sensitive if it relates to topics such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or health. When showing you tailored ads, we may associate an identifier from cookies or similar technologies with topics such as "Cooking and Recipes" or "Air Travel," but not with sensitive categories. We impose a similar policy on our advertisers. Regarding Sensitive personal information, this is a particular category of personal information relating to confidential medical facts, racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs or sexuality.
