Cookie management

When you visit Agence de la biomédecine websites, cookies are placed on your computer, cell phone or tablet.

Our sites are designed to be particularly attentive to the needs and expectations of Internet users. That's why we use cookies, for example, to enable you to share our content on social networks, and to personalize the content we offer.

This page gives you a better understanding of how cookies work, and how to use the current tools for setting them.

What is a cookie?

The term "cookie" is to be understood in the broadest sense of the term and covers all traces (pixel tags, bugs, web storage, etc.) deposited and/or read, for example, when consulting a website or mobile application or when viewing an advertisement. For convenience, we use the term "cookie" to cover all these technologies.

For convenience, we use the term "cookie" to cover all these technologies. A cookie is a piece of information deposited on your hard disk by the server of the website or mobile application you are visiting, or when you view an advertisement.

It contains several pieces of information: - the name of the server that placed it - an identifier in the form of a unique number - possibly an expiry date...

This information is sometimes stored on your computer or smartphone in a simple text file which a server accesses to read and record information. The main purpose of cookies is to collect information about your browsing on our sites, and to provide you with personalized services.

On your computer, cookies are managed by your Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome). These cookies may be from L'Agence de la biomédecine or from our partners, third-party companies, in order to identify your centers of interest and personalize the advertising offer sent to you on or off our sites.

They may be deposited during browsing on our sites or when you click in the advertising spaces on our sites. We have no control over the cookies placed by these partners, who act on their own behalf.

We ensure that partner companies agree to process the information collected in accordance with our instructions, in compliance with the French Data Protection Act of January 6, 1978, as amended, and undertake to implement appropriate measures to secure and protect the confidentiality of data.

What are the different types of cookies used on our sites?

Different types of cookies are used on our sites for different purposes. Some are necessary for your use of our sites.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the operation of our sites. They enable you to use the main functions of our sites (e.g. access to your account). Without these cookies, you will not be able to use our sites normally. These cookies are deposited by the Agence de la biomédecine and are used solely for the operation of our sites.

Analytical cookies

In order to adapt the site to the needs of its visitors, we measure the number of visits, the number of pages viewed, as well as the activity of visitors on the site and their frequency of return.

Piano Analytics, the statistical tool used by the Agence de la biomédecine, generates a cookie with a unique identifier, whose retention period is limited to 13 months. We also collect your IP address, in order to determine the city from which you are connecting. This is immediately anonymized after use. The Agence de la biomédecine can therefore in no way trace it back to an individual.

The data collected is kept by the Agence de la biomédecine for a period of 13 months and is not passed on to third parties or used for any other purpose.

Video cookies

When you view a video belonging to a third-party platform, the latter deposits cookies if you do not object.

Advertising cookies

These are cookies used to show you advertisements or send you information tailored to your interests on or off our sites while you are browsing the Internet. In particular, they are used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

The Agence de la biomédecine does not use them on the www.agence-biomedecine.fr website.
