Article 7 - Cookies (or connection cookies) 

AREAL uses "cookies" to optimise your use of the site.

A cookie is a small text file that does not allow identification of the Internet user but records information relating to the navigation of a computer or mobile equipment on a site.

The cookies used by AREAL do not contain any personal data, but only an anonymous identification number and information relating to the browsing of the computer concerned on the site (the pages consulted, the date and time of consultation, etc.).

These are mainly session cookies allowing your authentication and connection to the site as well as the memorisation of navigation elements during a session. These cookies are essential for navigation and accessibility to the site. They can be deleted or blocked. However, in such a case, some of the site's functions may not function as expected.

Other cookies allowing the recording of preferences, the parameters chosen, as well as the pages previously consulted by Internet users are also installed during navigation on the site. The activation of these cookies is not strictly necessary for the operation of the site, but they do allow for improved browsing performance.

These "cookies" are used with the main aim of improving the personalised service provided to you. The data obtained in this way is intended to facilitate subsequent navigation on the site.

Statistics and audience measurement

In order to adapt the site, its content and services to your expectations, AREAL uses the "Google Analytics" audience measurement service. The cookies used as part of this service make it possible to analyse the behaviour of Internet users and in particular the number of visits, the number of pages viewed, as well as the activity on the site and the frequency of return visits.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States, where Google may also be located.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

The internet user may object to the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=fr.
