Cookie management

When you access the https://www.matrelec.com/ website for the first time, a banner at the bottom of the page informs you that data relating to your browsing will be stored in specific files called “cookies” or connection files.

In order to better inform you about their role, the constraints related to their acceptance or refusal and the steps to follow to block their installation on your computer, MATRELEC presents its cookie management policy, established within the framework of the General Regulation for Data Protection (RGPD).

Cookies enable us to collect information about your visit to our website (https://www.matrelec.com/), so that we can adjust and guide your browsing experience. Managed by the browser, connection files enable us to determine the exact services and information you are looking for from the sections and pages you consult.

For optimal use of the website and its services, different types of cookies are used depending on their purpose:

• session cookies are mainly installed on e-commerce sites to save certain data entered beforehand for the duration of the browsing sequence,
• functional cookies take into account browsing preferences (language, screen resolution, etc.), or manage information entered during previous browsing sessions (login details, services subscribed to, data entered, etc.),
• Analytical cookies are used to count Internet users and analyze their behavior while visiting the website, in order to generate visitor statistics,
• third-party cookies are placed on the user’s browser by advertising agencies or website partners, as well as by social networks and video platforms linked to the site.

The data collected by the connection files does not allow you to be identified by name. It is used solely for the proper operation of the website and is never communicated by MATRELEC to other organizations.

Depending on their nature and the type of data they collect, the cookies used on the https://www.matrelec.com/ website either require your consent for their use, or are exempt from this requirement.

2.1° Functional cookies

The French Data Protection Authority (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés – CNIL) recommends that cookies required for the proper operation of the website, or whose sole purpose is to facilitate electronic communication, should not require consent.

This mainly concerns session ID cookies, media player session cookies, authentication cookies, load balancing or created session cookies, as well as cookies for personalizing your user interface.

2.2° Tracking cookies

According to current legislation confirmed by the RGPD all cookies enabling targeting or profiling require before they are sent to your browser: the collection of your consent, the possibility of objecting to their use, information that continued browsing implies consent to the deposit of cookies on your terminal.

This concerns both audience measurement cookies (Analytics) and social network sharing cookies (Facebook, etc.). These cookies are therefore subject to the privacy policies of the publishers of these software applications.
