How this website uses cookies
We use cookies to maintain, improve and overlook the whole website activity, as well as to propose a personalized experience to the users of this website. First, the website gathers some information, then a global identifier is issued. This identification is then stored in a cookie, which contains no specific information: it is just a random string. Below is the kind of information this website currently collects:
- Technical information: IP addresses, user agents, device technical information (brand, model, resolution…), browser specific data such as plug-ins types and versions, browser language, operating system specific data such as installed fonts, resolution and other online identifiers ;
- Customization information: The customization settings (without a user account) you set with the website.
It is important to understand that this data cannot identify you personally. This data is technical data and linked to a global identifier, which allows the website to recognize you with each subsequent visit so that it can offer you anonymous features (so without a User Account), such as anonymous posting, and then be able to call back the information on the website. Please note that even with the most advanced systems, the website can lose track of your device, and if you change the device you use to browse the website all this information is lost and then bound to another identifier.
On the contrary, if you set up a User Account, this data can then be combined and at this stage, the personal information you set in the user account panel may be attributed to the global identifier. In that case, the cookie which links to this identifier, even if it absolutely stores no personal data, is able to connect to your personal information, but only through this website’s server. You must understand that it’s the way it works when you create a user account, as your personal data is stored at the server level and the cookie only serves to find you back technically between each session of browsing. You can read more about how this website manages your personal data in the privacy policy.
The global identifier is then used with an in-house analytics system which enables us to have statistics and page/events recording so that we can improve the website based on what the users prefer and want, and to offer solutions/upgrades for the problems and inconsistencies they may encounter with the User Interface.
