2. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of information that is downloaded and stored on the user’s terminal device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when accessing certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s or their device’s browsing habits and, depending on the information they contain and the way the portal is used, they may be used to recognise the user.

In accordance with applicable regulations, cookies are classified according to the following purposes:

  • Technical (essential) cookies: These are strictly necessary for the basic operation of the web portal. They enable data communication, traffic control, administrator session identification, and permissions management. In accordance with Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE, they do not require the user’s prior consent and are enabled by default.
  • Personalisation or functional cookies: These allow information to be remembered so that the user accesses the service with certain features that may differentiate their experience (such as the selected language or the state of editing panels). They require the user’s prior consent and remain disabled until it is given.

They require the user’s prior consent and are disabled by default.
