  • Users can deactivate or activate cookies that require User consent (audience measurement cookies, behavioral analysis cookies, advertising cookies, etc.) via the cookie management process available on this website. Any deactivation means that Users refuse the placement of the relevant cookie;     
  • By continuing on the website, in other words when Users have clicked on an element on the Website (an image, a link, a "search" button, etc.) or have gone to another page on the Website, Users validate the use of cookies, as per the proposed default setting.

As the case may be, the Publisher declines all responsibility for any consequences relating to degraded operation of the Website resulting from User refusal of cookies.
