All personal data collected are stored on secure servers. The Data Controller has also implemented procedures to manage any personal data breaches.

2.2. Malicious Uses
It is recommended that you only connect to secure networks, preferably private networks. Be aware of the risks involved in public Wi-Fi networks.
Regardless of the Data Controller to whom you voluntarily transmitted your Personal Data and considering the nature of the Internet network, other operators, with no connection to the Data Controller, may collect them without your consent, particularly during your Internet browsing. Therefore, we recommend that you install antivirus and anti-spyware software on your computer and update it regularly.

The Data Controller will never ask you for personal information via email.
If you receive an email on behalf of the Data Controller asking you to provide sensitive personal information (bank details, data related to your personal life, etc.), do not respond and forward this email to us so we can take the necessary actions.
You should only provide your account information after logging into the Site directly through your browser.

3. Cookie Policy
A cookie is a text file that can be stored in a dedicated space on the hard drive of your Terminal when you visit a website. A cookie allows its issuer to identify the Terminal in which it is stored, during the validity period or registration of the cookie.
When you consult the Site, the information related to the browsing of your Terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) may be recorded through cookies installed on your Terminal, according to the choices you have made regarding cookies and that you can modify at any time.

3.1. For what purposes are cookies used on our Site?
Only the issuer of a cookie is likely to read or modify the information contained in it.
When you connect to the Site, the Data Controller may, subject to your choices, install several cookies on your Terminal to recognize the browser of your Terminal during the validity period of the relevant cookie. The cookies we issue are used for the purposes described below.

The cookies we issue allow us to:

  • Conduct studies and establish statistics and volumes of visits and usage of the various elements that make up our Site (sections and content visited, routes), allowing the Data Controller to improve the interest and ergonomics of its services;
  • Adapt the presentation of the Site to the display preferences of your Terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) when you visit the Site, depending on the display or reading hardware and the software contained in your Terminal; and
  • Implement security measures, for example, when you are asked to reconnect to content or a service after a certain period of time.

3.2. Your choices regarding cookies
There are several ways to manage cookies. Any settings you may choose can affect your Internet browsing and your access to certain services that require the use of cookies.
You can choose at any time to express and modify your wishes regarding cookies through the means described below.
In particular, you can configure your browser software to either allow cookies to be stored on your Terminal or, on the contrary, to systematically reject them or reject them according to their origin.
You can also configure your browser software to offer you the option to accept or reject cookies occasionally, before it is likely that a cookie will be stored on your Device. For more information, see "How to Make Your Choices Depending on the Browser You Use" in Article 4.2.3. below.

3.2.1. Cookie Agreement
The recording of a cookie on a Terminal is essentially subject to the will of the user of the Terminal, who can express it and modify it at any time and free of charge through the choices offered by their browser software.
If you have accepted the registration of cookies in your browser, cookies embedded in the pages and content you have viewed may be temporarily stored in a dedicated area of your Terminal. They will only be readable by your issuer.

3.2.2. Refusal of Cookies
If you refuse to accept cookies on your Terminal, or delete cookies already stored on your Terminal, the quality of the functioning of the services offered by the Site will not be impaired.
However, you will no longer be able to benefit from several features that may be necessary to browse certain areas of the Site. This would happen if you tried to access content or services for which the installation of cookies is strictly necessary (for example, booking a stay). This would also be the case if the Data Controller – or its service providers – could not recognize, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by your Terminal, your language and display settings, or the country from which your Terminal appears to be connected to the Internet.
If necessary, the Data Controller declines any responsibility related to the consequences associated with the functioning of its services resulting from the impossibility of registering or consulting the cookies necessary for their functioning that you have refused or deleted.
We would like to emphasize that some cookies cannot be deleted as they are strictly necessary for the technical functioning of the Site.

3.2.3. How to Make Your Choices Depending on the Browser You Use?
For managing cookies and your choices, the configuration of each browser is different. This is described in the help menu of your browser, which will allow you to know how to change your cookie preferences.
