A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, mobile, tablet) when you visit a website. It allows, in particular, your device to be recognized, certain information to be stored (e.g., preferences), and your navigation to be facilitated.
The term “cookies” also covers other similar trackers (SDK, tags, pixels, identifiers) that may be used for equivalent purposes.
2. Who places cookies on this site?
Cookies may be placed:
- by UPARIS (“1st party” cookies);

The Site notably uses technical delivery/security services (e.g., CDN) which may involve strictly necessary trackers for the operation and protection of the Site.

We use cookies for the following purposes:
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies (mandatory)
They are essential for Site operation and security (e.g., session management, anti‑fraud protection, security, load balancing, essential preferences).
