1. Declaration on cookies
1.1. About cookies Websites use useful and judicious techniques to increase user-friendliness and make the site as relevant as possible for each visitor. Cookies are one of the best-known techniques. They may be used by website owners or by third parties, such as advertisers, who communicate via the website you are viewing.
Cookies are small text files stored by websites on users' computers. The information contained in the cookies can also be used to track your browsing on the various websites that use the same cookie. Cookies are classified by duration and source. We believe that it is essential to provide you with information on the cookies used on our website and their purpose. The aim is threefold: to ensure the protection of your privacy, to make our website more user-friendly and to ensure its development. The following information will allow you to learn more about the cookies used on our website and their purpose.
2. Use of cookies on the websites of the Gerflor group.
Gerflor uses cookies to collect statistics on the number of visitors and record information about your preferences when browsing our websites. We use cookies to improve the use of the site for each visitor.
3. 3. The different cookies and their functionalities.
We use different types of cookies depending on their purpose.
Below is a list of the most common cookies and a description of their purpose.
3.1. Session cookies. A session cookie is stored temporarily in the memory of your computer when you browse a site. For example, it is used to memorize the language you have selected. They are not stored for a long time on your computer, and disappear as soon as you close your web browser.
3.2. Tracer or persistent cookies. A persistent cookie stores a file on your computer for a long time. This type of cookie has an expiry date. Persistent cookies allow websites to record your information and settings for use on your next visits. This makes access to the sites easier and faster, because you don't need, for example, to reconnect.
Once the expiry date has passed, the cookie is automatically deleted when you return to the website that created it.
3.3. Cookies of origin. These cookies are installed by the website itself (the same domain as that in the address bar of the browser) and can only be read by this site. These cookies are usually used to store information, for example your preferences, which will be used on your next visit to the site.
3.4. Third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are installed by a domain different from that in the address bar of the browser, i.e. by an organization other than the owner of the site. For example, cookies used to collect information for advertising purposes, to personalise content and to collect web statistics may be third-party cookies. Since third-party cookies make it possible to generate more in-depth surveys of the user's browsing habits, they are considered to be more sensitive in terms of integrity. That's why most web browsers allow you to change your settings to reject them.
4. Cookies used by Gerflor sites.
4.1 Session cookies. These are session cookies intended to collect information on the browser language and the session settings of the user.
4.2 Google Analytics. Our sites also use Google Analytics cookies to compile statistics on the use of our sites: number of visits, unique visitors, equipment of Internet users, pages visited, etc.
Cookies are stored temporarily (defined by the CNIL).
5. Management of cookies.
