What is a cookie?

 

Cookies are small files, created on accessing a website and stored on the user's terminal. This designation covers, in particular and for example, cookies, flash cookies, web beacons, etc. They can be placed or read during the consultation of a website, a mobile application, the installation or the use of software, whether these operations are carried out on a computer, a mobile phone or a digital tablet.

  • Find out more about cookies and other tracking technologies

    Cookies are commonly used by website owners to operate their sites, optimise their operation or to find out more about your browsing habits.

     

    Flash Cookie (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”), particularly to collect and store information about your use of certain services, for fraud prevention, and for other operations on the website.

     

    Web beacons (sometimes known as "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") are tiny graphic files containing a unique identifier that can be used to tell when someone has visited a website (or opened an email). This makes it possible, for example, to better understand the traffic patterns of users from one Website page to another, to generate Cookies or to communicate with Cookies, to know if you have come to the site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party site, to improve site performance and to measure the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns.

 

What type of cookies do we use on our website?

 

We use Cookies for several purposes. Some Cookies are necessary for technical purposes, so that our website can operate. We call them "essential" or «strictly necessary" Cookies. Other Cookies also allow us to monitor and have a better understanding of the interests of our users and improve their experience on our website.

Finally, third parties generate Cookies via our Website for advertising, analytics or customisation purposes.

 

  • Find out more about the Cookies that we use and their purposes

    The Cookies created and used by the Website owner (in this case, Hager) are called “First-party cookies”. Cookies generated by partners are called “Third-Party Cookies”. Third-Party Cookies enable the provision of third-party functions or functionalities on or through the Website (e.g., advertising, interactive content and analytics). The organisations that generate these Third-Party Cookies can recognise your computer when you visit the website in question, but also other Websites.
