When you visit our website and use our services, cookies may be placed on or read from your device under the conditions described below and as set out in our Privacy Policy.

1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in the browser of your computer, smartphone or tablet when you visit a website. The website that places the cookie may subsequently read it on each subsequent visit.
Cookies may be used, for example, to recognise your browser from one visit to another, remember certain display preferences, secure a session or measure website traffic.
A website can only access the cookies that it has itself placed on your device.

The www.kaerus.fr website uses cookies to ensure its proper technical operation, facilitate navigation and, where applicable, measure website traffic in order to improve the content and user journeys offered.
In general, these cookies may be used to recognise your browser when you return to the website, retain certain preferences, maintain browsing security and obtain statistical information about how the website is used.
Where third-party services are enabled, for example maps, external fonts or embedded content, those services may also place their own cookies, which are subject to their respective privacy policies.
These processing activities are carried out in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency set out in Article 5 of the GDPR.
3. Categories of Cookies Used
The cookies used on the KAERUS website may be divided into several categories, in accordance with Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and the CNIL guidelines relating to cookies and other tracking technologies.
Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website.
They enable pages to load, sessions to be managed, forms to function and, more generally, access to the website’s essential features.
Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
They are placed without prior consent insofar as they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user.
Other cookies serve a functional purpose and facilitate navigation by remembering, for example, certain display or language preferences..
They are not used for targeted advertising purposes.
Finally, audience measurement cookies may be used to better understand website traffic, the pages viewed and user journeys.
This information helps improve the website’s content and user experience.
Where these cookies do not meet the exemption criteria defined by the CNIL, they are placed only after obtaining the user’s consent, in accordance with the requirements of Articles 6 and 7 of the GDPR.
4. Examples of Cookies That May Be Used
On a WordPress website such as the KAERUS website, certain first-party cookies are used to manage sessions, verify whether cookies can be stored, maintain login sessions for authorised accounts and remember certain display preferences.
Their retention period generally ranges from the duration of the session to one year, in accordance with CNIL recommendations.
A cookie consent management tool may also place a dedicated cookie in order to remember whether you have accepted or refused certain non-essential cookies.
This cookie is generally retained for a period of between six and twelve months.
Where an audience measurement tool is enabled, statistical cookies may record information such as pages visited, time spent on the website and certain technical browser settings for a period not exceeding thirteen months.
This information is used solely for anonymised or pseudonymised statistical purposes, in accordance with Article 5(1) of the GDPR and CNIL recommendations relating to audience measurement.
The exact cookie configuration depends on the technical solutions actually installed on the website and may change as the website is updated.
