1. What is a cookie and what is its purpose?

A “cookie” (or “tracer”) is a connection indicator that designates a text file that may be recorded in a dedicated space on the hard disk of your terminal (computer, tablet, or smartphone), when you consult a service accessible online.

A cookie allows its issuer to identify the terminal in which it is stored, during the period of validity or storage of the cookie. The cookie does not allow you to be identified as such; it is used to record your navigation information on the Site.

During your visits to the Site, information relating to your browsing is likely to be recorded in “Cookies” files installed on your terminal, subject to the choices you have expressed concerning cookies and which you can modify at any time. These cookies allow personalized browsing by users of the Site and are also used for analytical purposes (audience measurement).

A cookie contains several pieces of information, in particular the domain name of the server that placed it; its name; a value that is generally used as an identifier; and possibly an expiration date.

Cookies are used to collect information about your browsing on the Site and to provide you with personalized services based on the data collected.

There are two main categories of cookies:

• Cookies placed by Signaturit on your terminal. They are generally used by Signaturit to identify a user and allow him or her to access his or her account and the various features of the Site.
• Cookies placed by a third-party service provider (“Third-Party Cookies”). These cookies may be used by the service provider to recognize your device when you visit other platforms. Third Party Cookies are typically used for advertising or platform analysis purposes. The issuance and use of cookies by third parties on our site are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.
