GENERAL INFORMATION
This website uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser, which
allows it to keep information between web pages and browsing sessions. These cookies allow
Rate A Company to keep information about your browsing. They also help us understand how
visitors use the site, so that we can make your experience and your browsing more pleasant.
Cookies can only hold text, which is always confidential and very often encrypted.
Audience-measurement cookies contain a pseudonymous identifier that does not directly identify you. Persistent cookies are used for
statistical purposes only. Because we use links to videos and other sites and allow certain
parts of our content to be shared with other sites, in particular social networks, third-party
cookies (placed by subcontractors, web publishers or audience-measurement services to track
browsing or to build a browsing profile of users from the sites they visit) may be used during
these redirections. Rate A Company shall not be responsible for cookies set by other sites.
DISABLING AND DELETING COOKIES
All web browsers allow you to restrict the behaviour of cookies or to disable them in the
browser settings or options. The steps to follow differ from one browser to another. Your
browser also lets you view the cookies stored on your computer and delete them. Disabling
cookies will affect your browsing on the site.
CONTROLLING COOKIES THROUGH YOUR BROWSER
You can choose to be alerted by your browser when cookies are used, or you can choose to
disable cookies completely. See the instructions below to enable or disable cookies in the
main browsers:
If you use a different browser or a different version, check whether the information is
available in the "Help" section of your browser. The CNIL (the French data protection
authority) offers a wide range of tools to limit the tracking of your internet browsing.
If you disable cookies completely, you will no longer have access to many of the site's
features designed to make your experience easier, and some services will no longer work
properly.
On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or refuse audience-measurement cookies. Your choice is
kept for 6 months; you can change it at any time via the "Manage my cookies" link at the bottom of
every page.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files generated by the websites you visit, which allow data that may be
useful later on to be kept. This data makes it possible to keep your information between
pages, but also to analyse the way you interact with the site.
Cookies are secure: they can only store information that is made available by the browser,
information that the user has previously entered in the browser or that is included in page
requests. They cannot run code or be used to access your computer. If a website encrypts the
information contained in a cookie, only that site will be able to read it. There are two
different types of cookies, whose uses and content differ: session cookies and persistent
cookies.
Session cookies contain information that is used within your browsing session. These cookies
are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Nothing is kept on your computer once
your browsing session is over. Persistent cookies are used to store information that is used
between visits. This data allows sites to recognise that you are a returning visitor and to
adapt accordingly.
WHY USE COOKIES?
Cookies are used by the site to keep information about your session while you browse the
site, to keep details of your browsing and to check whether you are logged in.
