Processing related to audience measurement
Certain data relating to the user’s hardware and software, which cannot be used to identify them, is collected during their visit to the public site. This collection is solely for the purpose of producing visitor statistics (browser type, screen resolution, approximate location, etc.) in order to better serve users.
The user’s full IP address is never stored. Only part of the IP address is retained to obtain aggregated statistics, and it is in no way possible to identify a user.
These data are stored and hosted in Europe using a solution provided by a subcontractor, notably Adobe Systems Inc., which, as a processor, is subject to the same legal obligations regarding the protection of personal data, should such data ever be collected in the future.
The retention period does not exceed the time necessary to observe trends in audience figures based on changes in browsers, screen resolutions or other available statistical data.
