This Cookie Policy is in addition to Eco TLC’s Personal Data Protection Policy and is aimed at all persons accessing and browsing the Site (“the Site”) regardless of the type of terminal used (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.). It explains the use of Cookies on the Site, describes the type of Cookies used and how to manage and delete these. By accepting the creation of Cookies via the Cookie tool bar or by personalising your choices with our Cookie Management tool, you consent to all or part of these Cookies as described above being created on your terminal.

A Cookie is a small text file saved in a dedicated space on your terminal’s hard disk when you visit an online service via your browser software. It enables the sender to identify the terminal in which it is saved, during the period of validity or saving of the Cookie.  

During a Site visit the information about how you browse the Site may be saved in the “Cookies” file installed on your terminal subject to the choices that you expressed regarding the Cookies and which you can modify at any time.

The Cookies thereby allow the Site visited to control, save and recover information on your browsing behaviour as well obtaining technical disclosures on the site’s browsability. In this respect, Cookies allow customised services such as improving functionality, user-friendliness and accessibility of the web pages concerned to be sent to you. The Cookies emitted on the Site are used for the above-mentioned purposes during the concerned Cookie’s period of validity depending on your choices resulting from your browser software’s settings used during your visit to the Site and which you can modify at any time. Third-party Cookies are likely to be placed elsewhere on your computer. Only the Cookie’s sender is likely to read or modify information that is contained therein. Different types of Cookies are used by Eco TLC and have different purposes.

2. Cookie type and purpose

These Cookies are required to manage external social networks (e.g.: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.…). Their function is to monitor the interaction of internet users with social widgets within a web page. 

Indeed, our Site may contain buttons linked to social networks allowing you to share the Site’s contents or express your opinion (e.g. “Like”, “retweet”, etc.). If you are logged into a social network whilst you are on our Site, your browser establishes a connection between the network and the Site. If you click on the social network button positioned on the Site, plug-ins (small software) transmit the corresponding information to the social network, which publishes it on your account. If you wish to prevent all connections to social networks and the Site, you have to disconnect from the social network before visiting our Site.

These Cookies are created directly by the social networks. Therefore your user choices concerning the creation of these Cookies must also be performed on the social network sites. For this purpose, Eco TLC invites its Users to directly visit the social network internet sites and refer to their Personal Data Protection Policy. 

Eco TLC uses Google Analytics (third-party Cookies) on the Site. This analytical service is provided by Google Inc. Via Google Analytics, Eco TLC analyses the interaction between you and the Site, monitors your activity on the Site and collects data about your browsing behaviour in order to allow Eco TLC to measure the Site’s performance, establish statistics and detect browsing problems in order to monitor and improve content quality.

Google Analytics is also likely to deposit behavioural advertising Cookies onto your terminal (third-party Cookies).

Google is a company located in the United States. Consequently, the data processed by Google Analytics (including your IP address) may be transferred to the United States and saved on Google’s servers located in this country. 

You can disable Google Analytics. To do this, you must install an uninstall option: to obtain more information on this uninstall option, click here.

You are free to express or modify at any time your wishes regarding Cookies by using the methods described in this Policy.  

Saving a Cookie on a terminal remains subject to the wishes expressed by the terminal’s user who can express or modify these at any time and at no cost via the options offered by the browsing software.  

If you refuse that Cookies be saved onto your terminal or if you delete those that have been saved, it is possible that you may no longer benefit from a certain number of functionalities that may be necessary to browse some of the sections on our Site. This will occur if you attempt to access contents or services that require you to identify yourself.  

In this case, we decline all responsibility for the consequences linked to any deteriorated functioning of our services resulting from not being able to save or consult the Cookies required for their correct functioning and that have been refused or deleted by yourself. In the event that you refuse to accept Cookies onto your terminal’s hard disk, the Site may not function optimally on your terminal.
