- Types of cookies Webmax uses
- Webmax may use one or several of the cookies discussed here. Cookies can be transient (a “session” cookie), in which case they last only as long as your browsing session on the website, or persistent, with a longer lifespan depending on the lifespan assigned to them and your browser settings. There are many different types of cookies. They can be classified into four broad groups as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies
The cookies strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service over electronic means are essential for the Site or the Products to work properly. Disabling them will make it very difficult to use the Site or the Products, or even impossible to use the services it offers. These cookies do not retain any information about you after you leave the website. They are used, for example, to identify devices for routing the communication, to number the “packets” of data in order to route them in the right order, and to detect transmission errors or data losses. - Functional cookies
Functional cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service expressly requested by the user. They provide a user-specific functionality. If these cookies are uninstalled, it will prevent the service being provided. Functional cookies can collect personal data. For some cookies, this information can be retained after the end of your browsing session on the website, and sent to partners, solely for the purposes providing necessary services. They include, for example, cookies that save user preferences such as language, “user session” cookies (that identify the user when he or she navigates on several pages, and which retain data only for the duration of the browser session), and “shopping basket” cookies. - Audience measurement cookies
Audience measurement cookies are used to recognize visitors when they return to the Site. These cookies store only an online user “identifier” (specific to each cookie) and are not, under any circumstances, used to collect nominative information about visitors. They record the pages visited, the length of the visit and any error messages, so that we can improve the browsing experience on Webmax websites.Audience measurement cookies can be installed and managed by partners, but we limit their use to the statistical analysis requested. - Targeted advertising cookies and social media tracking cookies generated by social media sharing buttons.
Targeting and tracking cookies allow third parties to provide services, mainly advertising, and enhance their effectiveness. These cookies can retain the web pages and websites you visit, and collect personal data, primarily the IP address of the device used by the online user. The information collected can be shared with third parties.For example, these cookies allow Webmax’s advertising departments to display advertisements that match your centers of interest, based on your browsing history on Webmax websites, or limit the repetition of advertisements. These cookies require your permission: a clearly visible banner will appear on the website page to request your permission to install these cookies.Webmax and third-party providers, including Google, use proprietary cookies and third-party cookies in conjunction to obtain information and optimize and display advertisements based on the user’s visits to the Site. Webmax and these providers also use these two types of cookies to determine the relationship between the visits recorded on the Site and the advertisements viewed on the screen, other uses of advertising services and the interactions with the advertisements viewed and the advertising services. Lastly, Webmax and these providers use these two types of cookies to remember your centres of interest and your demographic data with a view to offering you targeted advertising.Webmax uses what are known as social plug-ins (which we will refer to below as buttons) to link back to social networks such as Facebook and WhatsApp.When you visit our Site, these buttons are disabled by default, i.e. they do not send any information to the social networks concerned unless you do something. Before the buttons can be used, you have to activate them by clicking them. The buttons remain active until you disable them again or delete your cookies. Once activated, the system establishes a direct link to the server of the social network selected. The content of the button is then transferred directly from the social networks to your web browser, which integrates them into the website you visited.Once you have activated a button, the social network concerned can collect data, whether or not you use the button. If you are logged into a social network, the network can attribute your visit to the website in question to your user account. When you visit other Webmax websites, your visit will not be linked up with the initial website until you activate the corresponding button on these websites too.If you belong to a social network and don’t want the social network to establish a link between the data collected during your visit to our website and the information recorded when you registered, you must log out of the social network in question before activating the buttons.Please note that we have no influence on the volume of data collected by the social networks through these buttons. To know the volume of data collected and the reasons for collecting it, as well as how the information is processed and used by the social networks, and your rights and configuration options for protecting your privacy, please read the privacy terms of the social networks concerned.
