Definition: what is a “cookie”?

A cookie is a small computer file, a tracker, that is placed and read when you use an online service, whatever type of device you use (computer, smartphone, e-reader, internet-connected games console, etc.).

Cookies have many uses and allow the party that issues them to identify the device and store certain information about the use of the online service (your customer ID, your choice of language). Some of these uses are strictly necessary for the online service to work and are therefore exempt from consent. Others, which do not meet these criteria, require the site visitor’s consent before the cookies are placed.

How do we use cookies?

When you visit our websites www.lovys.com, www.go.lovys.com and your user area in the browser (hereinafter the “Sites”), as well as the mobile version of your user area, trackers may be placed on your device by Lovys or by our partners.

There are 4 types of trackers, used for the following purposes:

  1. ensuring our Sites and our app work properly — strictly necessary cookies
  2. improving the visitor experience by remembering their preferences — functional cookies
  3. ‍measuring our Sites’ audience and analysing visitor behaviour — audience measurement cookies
  4. ‍showing advertising tailored to visitors’ interests — advertising cookies

‍

When you accept them, the cookies above give us access in particular to the following information:

  • Identifiers of the device used;
  • Type of operating system used by your device;
  • Type and version of the browser used by your device;
  • Connection dates and times;
  • Browsing data on our Sites;
  • Language settings;
  • Content viewed.
