1. USE OF TRACKERS
Like most website publishers, AVALIANCE uses electronic tracers, in particular cookies, to enable your computer, smartphone or tablet to be re-identified.
When you first connect to our Website, you will be informed of this by means of a banner allowing you to accept or refuse the use of cookies, or to select the types of cookies you wish to authorize.
2. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is an electronic identifier that a website or application deposits on the device you use to consult it (computer, smartphone, tablet, video game console, etc.). The cookie then enables your terminal to be identified when you connect to the same site, or to a partner site or application.
Other technologies, such as web beacons, pixels and fingerprinting, may also be used to identify the device for various purposes.
Tracers can, for example, enable a website to store information about your preferred settings, the pages of the site you have visited and your browsing habits. As a result, they can be used to optimize the user's experience of the site, as well as to offer the user targeted advertising or personalized services.
For more information on cookies, please visit the website of the French Data Protection Authority (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertÃĐs).
3. WHAT IS THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR COOKIES?
French and European regulations govern the use of cookies. Article 82 of French law no. 78-17 of January 6, 1978 on data processing, data files and individual liberties (the "Loi Informatique et LibertÃĐs") stipulates that cookies should not be deposited or read without the user's prior consent, unless they are "strictly necessary" for the provision of a service expressly requested by the user, or their sole purpose is to enable or facilitate communication by electronic means. This article transposes into French law Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 12, 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (the "ePrivacy Directive").
In addition, the use of trackers is subject to certain provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the "RGPD"), in particular where the trackers and the information they collect allow you to be identified.
For more information on our processing of personal data and your rights in this respect, please consult our Privacy Policy.
In France, the CNIL issues recommendations and guidelines on the use of trackers. In particular, it adopted guidelines on cookies and other trackers in September 2020, which you can consult here.
4. OUR COOKIES
We use various cookies on our Website, in particular for the following purposes:
- To save your settings while you are on our Website,
- To monitor the performance of our Website and systems,
- To track traffic on our Website,
The various tracers used on the Website are listed in the table in point 6. They are also identified when you first consult the Website, via our tool for managing your cookie preferences.
5. THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS AND DATA TRANSFERS
Some of the cookies used on our website are supplied by third-party partners. Consequently, the partners have access to information generated by the trackers when you visit the Website (for example, the fact that you have visited the site, the pages you have consulted, the date and time of your visit, etc.).
The partners involved are listed in the summary table at point 6.
In some cases, these third-party partners may use the information in question for their own purposes, and are therefore responsible for the processing they carry out.
The data processing carried out by these partners is sometimes carried out outside the European Union, in a "third country" where the rules applicable to the processing of personal data are different from those in force in France and within the European Union. For further information on these transfers and, more generally, on the processing carried out by the partner, you can consult the link to the website of the partner in question, in the table at point 6.
