Cookie management
Spectrum Center takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. Our Privacy Policy explains our principles for collecting, processing and storing your personal data and how we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This Cookie Policy specifically informs you about how Spectrum Center and its partners place cookies, as well as the options you have to manage them.
Spectrum Center reserves the right to adapt or modify this Policy at any time. The most current version of this Policy is available on this site. Any updates will be brought to your attention and will apply with your consent.
What are cookies and other tracking devices
A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your terminal (computer, tablet, mobile phone or any other device connected to the internet). It has a unique identifier assigned to your terminal when websites are loaded in a browser. The cookie allows the website to "remember" you, your actions and your preferences (such as location, language, font size and other display preferences), either for a single visit (using a "session cookie") or for multiple repeated visits (using a "persistent cookie"). Persistent cookies remain on your terminal until they are manually or automatically deleted. Session cookies remain on your terminal until you close your browser and are then deleted automatically.
The use of cookies enables Spectrum Center to provide a consistent and efficient experience for website visitors and to perform essential functions.
Cookies may be placed by the Spectrum Center website ("internal cookies") or by third parties, such as those that serve content or provide advertising or analytics on the site ("third-party cookies"). The submission and use of cookies and other tracking devices by these third-party companies are subject to their own cookie policies.
Not all cookies contain personal information, but if they do, or if they are associated with your account or other contact information, we will treat that information as personal data in accordance with this policy.
Spectrum Center websites and HTML emails sent by Spectrum Center may also contain other tracking technologies, such as "web beacons" or "pixels." These are generally small transparent images that provide Spectrum Center with statistics for purposes similar to cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, although they are not stored on your terminal in the same way. Therefore, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be limited. In this cookie policy, these tracking technologies are referred to as "cookies".
Purposes of cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary for technical reasons and to allow you to use the Spectrum Centre services; some allow for a personalized and optimized experience for both site visitors and registered users; and others, placed by selected third parties, allow for the display of advertisements or for enhanced services, so these cookies in particular allow:
- to compile statistics and volumes of visits and use of the various elements that make up our website (sections and content visited, routes traveled), allowing us to improve the interest and ergonomics of our services;
- to adapt the presentation of our websites to the display preferences of your terminal (language used, screen resolution, operating system used, etc.) when you visit our websites, depending on the hardware and software of your terminal for viewing or reading;
- to store information relating to a form you have filled in on our websites (registration or access to your account) or to products, services or information you have chosen on our websites (subscriber service, contents of an order basket, etc.);
- to allow you to access restricted and personal areas of our websites, such as your account, using identifiers or data you have previously submitted to us;
- implementing safety measures;
- in order to record the number of displays of advertising content through our advertising spaces, to identify the advertisements displayed in this way and the number of users who clicked on each advertisement, which allows the calculation of the amounts due in this respect and the compilation of statistics;
- to recognize your terminal during subsequent browsing on any other website or service on which these advertisers or third parties also issue cookies and, where applicable, to tailor these third party websites and services or the advertisements they display to the browsing on your terminal that they may be aware of;
- to count the number of views and activations of our advertising content on third party sites/applications, to identify this content and these sites/applications, and to determine the number of users who clicked on each piece of content;
- calculating the amounts due to actors in the advertising distribution chain (advertising agency, advertising sales house, distribution/media site) and compiling statistics;
- to adapt the presentation of the sites to which one of our advertising content leads, depending on the display preferences of your terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) during your visits to our sites and depending on the display or reading hardware and software your terminal has; depending on the location data (longitude and latitude) transmitted to us (or our service providers) by your terminal with your prior consent;
- to track your terminal's subsequent browsing on websites/apps or other advertising content for which we use cookies.
