The Website uses two types of cookies whose characteristics you will find below: 
 
- Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc ("Google"), which uses cookies to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Website through the use of first party cookies and third-party cookies, to, among other things, analyze and track your use of the Website, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity;
 
- Hotjar, a technology service that uses cookies in order to help us to better understand your needs and to optimize your experience (e.g. how much time you spend on which pages, which links you choose to click, what you do and don’t like, etc.). Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our behavior and devices. This includes a device's IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display the Website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.

You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by tracking technologies, you can visit the third- party vendor (i.e. the browser add-on for opt-out of Google Analytics and the ‘about
Hotjar’ section of Hotjar’s support site).
 
The Website offers you the option to set up your browser to not accept cookies, but it may make the browsing slower and limit your ability to fully use the Website. For that purpose, you can withdraw or modify your consent to the use of cookies at any time by clicking the "cookie" icon at the bottom left of the homepage's screen.
 
You may also set up your browser to refuse cookies. Depending on which browser you use, you will need to follow the instructions below:

4) Storage of your personal data:

We retain the personal information that you have provided to us for a limited duration and while maintaining its security. 
 
The data shall be kept for a period which does not exceed the time necessary for the
purposes for which it was collected, in particular:
- The data collected through the “Contact Form” and/or the “Live Chat Box” is kept for a period not exceeding the time required to answer your requests;

These retention periods do not preclude the exercise of your rights detailed in section 7 of our Privacy Policy.

5) Recipients of your personal data:


The collected personal data is intended only for the employees who need to know in our company, in the performance of their duties and within the strict limits of their powers.
 
We may also share personal data with other people working for and with us, and in particular certain third-parties acting as service providers or subcontractors, within the meaning of the applicable regulations, which can process personal data in order to ensure, improve, protect and promote our activities. We undertake to call only on trusted third-parties with sufficient guarantees as to the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures so that the processing meets the requirements of the applicable regulations and guarantees the
protection of your rights. 

We only use processing facilities located in the territory of the European Union / European Economic Area and therefore do not transfer personal data outside this area.

If for specific needs and/or the development of our activities, we have to transfer personal data outside the territory of the European Union / European Economic Area, it will ensure that the recipient either located in a country which the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) has found to provide an adequate level of protection, has adhered to the Privacy Shield, established between the United States and the European Union, or will provide the necessary appropriate guarantees.
