The different types of cookies are listed here-below:

Performance cookies

Performance cookies enable Tradamarca to determine the number of visits and sources of traffic, in order to measure and improve the performance of the Website. They also help identify the most and least visited pages and evaluate how Users navigate the Website. All information collected through these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymized.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies are used to improve and personalize the functionality of the Website. They may be activated by Tradamarca or by third-party service providers whose services are used on the Website's pages. If the User does not accept these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4. USER’S CONSENT COLLECTION

When the User visits the Website for the first time, he/she will be given the opportunity to accept or decline the use of certain cookies’ categories, via the cookie banner. 

This acceptance or denial leads to the creation of an acceptance or a refusal cookie, deposited on the User’s equipment. Tradamarca will therefore record this choice. However, if the User decides to delete this acceptance or refusal cookies, it will no longer be possible to identify him/her according to the choice he/she made. During the browsing, the User may be asked again to accept or decline the use of certain categories of cookies. 

If the user shares his/her terminal with third parties, Tradamarca cannot ensure that the settings applied with respect to cookies are those that he/she has chosen. 

5. MANAGEMENT OF COOKIES PREFERENCES

At any time, the User can manage and modify the use of cookies, as well as be notified when a cookie is deposited, according to the possibilities recalled hereinafter:

• Via the functionality on the User’s browser; 
• Via opposition platforms.

Users shall be advised that if they set their browser to reject cookies, some features, pages or areas of the Website, may not be accessible, for which Tradamarca may not he held responsible. 

Navigation software settings

The User may set his/her browser so that cookies are stored in his/her equipment terminal or rejected, either systematically or according to their sender. 

The User can also regularly delete cookies from his/her terminal via his/her browser. All browsers on various terminals (tablets, smartphones, computers, etc.) must be checked. 

Each browser has a different configuration for managing cookies and Users’ choices. It is described in the help menu of the browser, which allows users to know how to modify their choices regarding cookies. For example:

• for Chrome™: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&hlrm=en&answer=95647 ;
• for Internet Explorer™ : http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-FR/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies ;

• for Firefox™ : http://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/Activer%20et%20d%C3%A9sactiver%20les%20cookies ;

Opposition platforms

Several professional advertising platforms also offer the possibility of refusing or accepting cookies used by their member companies. These centralised mechanisms do not block the display of advertisements, but only prevent the installation of cookies that allow advertisements to be adapted to users’ interests and behaviour.

For example, the website https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ch-fr/ allows preventing these cookies from being installed on user’s terminal. This site is proposed by the digital advertising professionals grouped within the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA).

This website allows finding out which companies are registered with this platform and which offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting the cookies used by these companies to adapt the advertisements likely to be displayed on users’ terminal to their navigation information: https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ch-fr/controler-ses-cookies. 

This European platform is shared by hundreds of Internet advertising professionals and constitutes a centralised interface allowing users to express their refusal or acceptance of the cookies likely to be used in order to adapt the advertisements likely to be displayed on their terminal to its navigation.
