1. Definitions
Cookies are files deposited on a User’s device by the server of the website visited. They are used by a website to send information to the internet User's browser and allow that browser to send information back to the original website (e.g. a session identifier or the choice of a language).
Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information contained therein.
There are different types of cookies:
- session cookies that disappear as soon as you leave the website;
- permanent cookies that remain on your device until their lifespan expires or until you delete them using your browser’s features.
When you connect to our Website, we may, subject to your choices, install various cookies on your device to allow us to recognise the browser on your device for the period of validity of the cookie concerned. This duration is 13 months. Data processed via cookies is stored for 13 months.
The cookies we issue are used for the purposes described below, subject to your choices, which result from the settings of your browser software used during your visit to our Website.
2. Purposes of cookies used
Some of the cookies used by the Publisher are intended solely to enable or facilitate electronic communication (detection of connection errors, identification of connection points, etc.).
Others are strictly necessary for the provision of online communication services at your express request (shopping basket, screen display preferences, etc.).
Others are used for the purpose of:
- analysing the number of visitors to and use of the website in order to improve the browsing experience;
- improving the relevance of advertisements displayed on the website;
- making the website more user-friendly and interactive.
Le Rustique includes application buttons (plug-ins) to share certain content on the site with third parties via social networks (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter).
Cookies allow the content of this website to be shared using sharing buttons. Activating this feature on the website triggers the deposit of cookies.
The social network providing such an application button may identify you with this button, even if you did not use this button during your visit to our Website. This type of application button can enable the social network concerned to track your browsing on our Website, simply because your account on the social network concerned was activated on your device (session opened) during your browsing on our Website.
We have no control over the process used by social networks to collect information relating to your browsing of our Website and associated with the personal data they have in their possession. We invite you to consult the privacy policies of these social networks in order to understand the purposes of use, particularly advertising, of the browsing information that they may collect through these application buttons. These protection policies should enable you to exercise your choices with these social networks, in particular by configuring your user accounts for each of these networks:
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy
- Twitter: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies
4. Obtaining your consent
When you first visit our website or after a 13-month absence from the website, you are asked to accept or refuse the use of certain cookies.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of online communication services at your express request and cookies to enable or facilitate communication by electronic means are not subject to obtaining your consent.
If you do not wish for cookies to be installed or read on your device, a refusal cookie will be placed on your equipment so that the Publisher may record the fact that you have objected to the use of cookies. If you delete this refusal cookie, it will no longer be possible to identify you as having refused the use of cookies.
Similarly, when you accept the use of cookies, a consent cookie is stored.
Consent or refusal cookies should remain on your device. You can change your preferences at any time as indicated in the following section entitled “Management of cookies”.
5. Management of cookies
You have several options to delete and to accept or refuse cookies and other trackers on this website.
5.1 Browser settings
Although most browsers are set by default and accept the installation of cookies, you can, if you wish, choose to accept all cookies, reject them systematically or choose the cookies that you accept according to their issuer. You can also regularly delete cookies from your device via your browser.
However, do not forget to configure all the browsers on your different devices (tablets, smartphones, computers, etc.).
For the management of cookies and your choices, the configuration of each browser is different. It is described in your browser's help menu which will instruct you on how to change your cookie preferences. For example:
- for Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/delete-and-manage-cookies-168dab11-0753-043d-7c16-ede5947fc64d;
- for Safari™: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/safari;
- for Chrome™: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=en&hlrm=en;
- for Firefox™: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-websites-storing-cookies-site-data-firefox ;
- for Opera™: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies.
However, by configuring your browser to refuse cookies, certain features, pages and areas of the website will not be accessible for which we cannot be held responsible.
5.2 Interest-based advertising preference platforms
Several platforms of advertising professionals also offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting cookies used by their member companies. These centralised mechanisms do not block the display of advertisements. They only prevent the installation of cookies to tailor advertisements to your areas of interest.
For example, you can visit the www.youronlinechoices.com website to prevent the installation of these cookies on your device. This website is provided by digital advertising professionals grouped within the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) and is managed in France by the Interactive Advertising Bureau France.
You will thus be able to find out which companies are registered on this platform and which offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting the cookies used by these companies to tailor, in relation to your browsing information, the advertisements that may be displayed on your device: https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
This European platform is shared by hundreds of internet advertising professionals and constitutes a centralised interface enabling you to express your refusal or acceptance of cookies likely to be used to tailor the advertising to be displayed according to your device's browsing activity.
5.3 Cookie management module
Finally, a module allows you to choose the cookies that you want to accept and those that you want to refuse on this website.
At any time, by clicking on the "Cookie settings" button below, you will be able to access the module and change your preferences.

At the end of this period, the data will be deleted, unless the person has decreed that it is to be communicated to a third party of their choice, in accordance with the provisions of Article 40-1, II of Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on information technology, date files and civil liberties, amended in 2018.
