What is a tracker ?  

Cookies, or other similar trackers, are pieces of information deposited on the device of an Internet user by the server of the website visited. Websites use them to send information to the user's browser and allow the browser to send information back to the originating site (e.g., a session ID or language choice).

Only the sender of a cookie can read or modify the information contained in it. Please be informed that upon visiting http://photosouvenir.chateauversailles.fr/ cookies may be installed on your device.

Purposes of cookies

Some trackers are used exclusively for the purpose of enabling or facilitating electronic communication (detecting connection errors, identifying connection points). Others are strictly necessary for the provision of on-line communication services at your express request (screen display preferences, etc.). 

Others are used for the purpose of:

  • Analysing and measuring the number of visitors to the site;
  • Compiling statistics;
  • Improving the usability and interactivity of the site;
  • Allowing sharing on social media.

Which cookies do we use ? 

We use different types of cookies which all have different purposes.

Cookies issued by third parties

The site allows the "sharing" of content with friends of the user via social media. When the "share” function is used, these social networking websites may send cookies to the user while they are browsing the site. The site has no control over the distribution of these cookies, so we suggest that you consult the websites of these third parties for more information about their cookies.

 

Consent 

In accordance with the recommendations of the CNIL, the absence of consent is treated as a refusal. Any inaction or action by the user other than a positive one, i.e., signifying consent by clicking "Accept all" or "Accept" in the cookie management module, is interpreted as a refusal to give consent.

When you visit our site for the first time or after an absence of 13 months, you will be asked to accept or refuse the use of certain cookies.

Cookies used to enable or facilitate electronic communication and cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of on-line communication services at your express request are not subject to your consent.

If you do not want cookies to be installed or read on your device, a refusal cookie will be deposited on your device, so that the site http://photosouvenir.chateauversailles.fr/ can record your choice to refuse the use of cookies.  If you delete this opt-out cookie, we will no longer be able to identify you as having declined the use of cookies.

Equally, when you accept the use of cookies, a consent cookie is set.

Consent and refusal cookies must remain on your device. You can change your preferences at any time as indicated in the following section entitled "Cookie Management". Your new choice will then be taken into account and will take precedence.

In accordance with the CNIL regulations, your choice (both consent and refusal) will be remembered for 6 months.

Attention: as indicated above, our acknowledgement of your refusal to install a cookie is based on the deposit of a cookie. Therefore, if you disable all cookies on your device or if you change your device, we will no longer know that you have chosen this option.
