  • Recommendations from the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL)

The French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) website offers advice on how to limit the tracking of your web browsing:

  • block third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are not usually necessary to take advantage of the resources available on the Internet. If you wish to limit your tracking, we recommend that you refuse them by default.
  • Prevent the installation of the most common cookies. Numerous extensions can be used to block various trackers. For example, for the Chrome browser, DoNotTrackMe, Disconnect, Ghostery...
  • Block social network sharing buttons.
  • Limit tracking in Adobe Flash. We recommend that you change these settings by logging on to the online Settings Manager, but although the Flash site offers deactivation to prevent storage on computers, it doesn't work 100% of the time. LSO (Flash) cookies resist the process of deleting “traditional” cookies via the web browser. Rather than deleting LSO cookies manually, you can download a browser extension that deletes them each time you close your browser. For example, Betterprivacy for Firefox.
  • “Do not track” feature

You can also set your browser to notify websites that you do not wish to be tracked (“Do not track” feature).

Finally, you can visit the Youronlinechoices website, proposed by digital advertising professionals belonging to the European Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) and managed in France by the Interactive Advertising Bureau France.

This will enable you to find out which companies are registered with this platform, and which offer you the possibility of refusing or accepting the cookies used by these companies to adapt the advertising likely to be displayed on your Device to your browsing information: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/fr/controler-ses-cookies/.

This European platform is shared by hundreds of Internet advertising professionals and constitutes a centralized interface enabling you to express your refusal or acceptance of the cookies likely to be used to adapt the advertising likely to be displayed on your Device to your browsing information. Please note that this procedure will not prevent the display of advertisements on the websites you visit. It will only block technologies that allow us to adapt advertisements to your centres of interest.
