We can combine information about all our other Users, groups, and accounts with the personal data available about the User.

Cookie retention period
In accordance with the recommendations of France’s Data Protection Commission (CNIL), cookies can be retained for a maximum of 13 months after they are first placed in the User’s device. The same is true of the validity of the User’s agreement to use these cookies. Cookie lifetimes are not extended upon each visit. A User must therefore renew their consent after that time.
Purpose of cookies
Cookies can be used for statistical purposes, and particularly to optimize User services, by processing information showing how often a page is accessed, page customization, any operations performed, and any information consulted.
Please note that the Publisher may place cookies on your device. A cookie records information about how a service was navigated (the pages you viewed, the data and time of your visit, etc.) which we can read during subsequent visits.
User’s right to refuse cookies and deactivation leading to a reduced service
You acknowledge that you have been informed that the Publisher may use cookies, and you authorize it to do so. If you would prefer cookies not to be used on your device, most browsers allow you to deactivate cookies in the settings options. However, please note that some services may no longer work correctly.
Potential marrying of cookies with personal data to enable the service to function
The Publisher may need to collect browsing data via cookies.

Retention of anonymized data beyond the contractual relationship / after an account has been deleted.
We retain personal data for the period strictly required to carry out the activities described in these Terms and Conditions. Beyond that time, it shall be anonymized and retained exclusively for statistical purposes. It shall not lead to any operations of any kind.
Removal of data after deletion of an account
Data purging processes are put in place to ensure that data is effectively deleted as soon as the retention or archiving period required to fulfill any determined or imposed purposes has come to an end. Further, in accordance with French Data Protection Law No.° 78-17 of 6 January 1978, you have the right to delete your data. You may exercise this right at any time by contacting the Publisher.
