COOKIES

How are you being tracked on the web? What is a cookie and what is its role?

When you visit a website, traces of your web browsing are saved on your computer, on Internet network equipment (access providers) and on servers.

Your browser keeps a copy of the pages you have recently visited (called the "cache", a clever way to optimize page loading time and relieve network congestion). The cache also keeps a history of the addresses you have entered in the address bar.

Cookies are also part of the traces of your browsing history. A cookie is a text file saved on your hard disk by the domain that you visit. The file can contain various data such as the name of the server that saved it, an ID in the form of a unique number, an expiry date, etc. A server accesses it to read and save this information.

Cookies play several roles. They make browsing easier, save your preferences, and facilitate and speed up interactions between you and the Website. Without cookies, you will be treated as a newcomer every time you open a page on the Website. For example, if you enter your login data on a page and move on to the next page, the Website will not recognize you and will be not able to consider you a logged in user.

Cookies can also allow websites to target Internet users with advertising or marketing campaigns, for example, based on users' location or online shopping or browsing habits. Some cookies are linked to the Website that you visit, while others depend on external Websites that manage content about the page you are visiting (cookies from third-party websites). For example, a website can hire the services of a statistics company that will use its own cookies to count the number of visitors to the website.

How does the Website's cookie pop-up work?

In accordance with Deliberation no. 2020-091 and the CNIL recommendation of 17 September 2020, ARTE France has set up a pop-up for cookie information, acceptance and configuration, which appears when you enter a page on the Website.

This pop-up is a cookie information and management tool that informs you of the purpose of cookies that may be saved on your device. These are audience measurement cookies and are not saved by default. In this case, you have the possibility of accepting or rejecting all of these cookies or you can configure your choices by purpose.

By clicking on "ACCEPT ALL", you accept that ARTE France or a third party places cookies on your device, and by clicking on "REJECT ALL", you refuse to allow these cookies from being saved. By clicking on "Configure my choices", you can accept or reject cookies based on their purpose.

In this case, your acceptance of cookies from the Website is given for a maximum period of 13 months.

Nevertheless, ARTE France allows you to configure your cookie preferences at any time by using the cookie management tool provided, which can be accessed at the bottom of all the pages on the Website by clicking on the "Cookie configuration" link.

As indicated above, the Website's cookie pop-up appears during your initial connection to the Website, once a year when your consent expires, every time a new purpose is added to those initially specified or when you clear your computer's cache memory (to learn more about this, go to the section below entitled)."How to delete unwanted cookies or oppose the installation of cookies").

Do note, however, that some cookies are exempt from your consent, in particular those strictly necessary for the proper operation of the Website and the provision of the service expressly requested by the User via the Website.

After your consent is given for certain cookies, the server that hosts the Website will collect from your computer valuable information for the proper operation of the Website. If you choose to configure your browser to not accept any cookies, including those required for the Website to run properly, some features on the Website may no longer be available.

How to delete unwanted cookies or oppose the installation of cookies

Some people do not like the idea of a Website keeping information about their browsing, especially when such information is stored and used by a third-party Website. If this is your case, you can block some or all cookies, or even delete those that have already been installed.

On the one hand, ARTE France allows you to configure your cookie preferences at any time by using a cookie management tool, which can be accessed during your initial connection to the Website, and at the bottom of all the pages on the Website under "Cookie configuration".

In addition, if you choose to configure your browser to not accept any cookies, some features of the Website may no longer be available, and may make your visit to our web pages less pleasant.
