A cookie is a small file containing text that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit that site. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or to make them work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to site owners.
How do we use cookies?
Our site uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (hereafter "Google") which helps us analyze the use made of these sites. For this purpose, Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer. The information generated by the cookies concerning your use of the sites - typical information concerning Internet access (including your IP address) and your visitor behavior, analyzed anonymously - is transmitted to Google, which stores it, including on servers located in the United States. Before storing the transmitted information, Google will anonymize it by removing the last octet of your IP address. The Google Analytics terms of use specify that Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the sites and to generate reports on site activity for our site.
Our site does not use or authorize any third party to use the statistical analysis tool to locate or collect personally identifiable information from visitors to these sites. Google may transfer the information collected by Google Analytics to third parties when required by law or when these third parties process the information on Google's behalf. The Google Analytics Terms of Service state that Google does not establish a link between your IP address and other data held by Google. You can refuse the use of Google Analytics cookies by downloading and installing the browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics. (URL: http://www.european-council.europa.eu/cookies?lang=fr). This module tells the Google Analytics JavaScript file (ga.js) that information about a site visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
Cookies are also used to determine whether or not you have accepted our use of cookies on this site, so that you are not asked each time you visit it.
