Cookies can serve many functions, and in particular allow us to:

When you select which types of cookies you allow on your device, the cookies may be deposited directly by us or by one of our partners.

From a practical point of view, this means that when you authorise the installation of certain so-called “third-party” cookies on your device, our partners will also be able to access the information they contain (such as your browsing statistics when you allow third-party analytics cookies, for example), within the respect of our Data Protection Notice and those of our partners.
