Welcome to the website https://frenchthrowdown.com/ (the “Site”). At FRENCH THROWDOWN, if we’re not baking good golden paleo cookies, we can use other cookies on our Site! And like those who share their recipes with their friends, we have developed this Cookie Management Policy (the “Policy”) for the users of our Site to inform you about the use of cookies and how you can refuse them.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

In computer jargon, cookies are small files deposited or read on your terminal (computer, smartphone, digital tablet, etc.) when you visit a website or install a mobile application on your smartphone, for example.

2. WHEN ARE COOKIES SET?

The recording of cookies in your terminal and their use are subject to your consent which is formalized in the following way:

When you visit our Site for the first time, a preliminary information banner is displayed on the page you are visiting to inform you:

– the installation of cookies on your terminal;
– the purposes for which cookies are used;
– that when you continue to browse our Site or application, it means that you accept the deposit of cookies on your terminal by us or by third parties.

Cookies have a limited lifetime of 13 months. After this period, they will be automatically deactivated and your consent will be requested again!

3. WHAT COOKIES ARE USED ON THE SITE?

As in cooking, there are different kinds of cookies used on the web:

• Functional technical cookies: these cookies are necessary for the proper functioning and use of the Site. They are used to provide you with an optimal browsing experience, by facilitating the fluidity of the display of your web pages, by saving your identifiers and your shopping cart, or by allowing you, in particular, to benefit from various services, such as our chat service, or to view video content.

• Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to establish statistics relating to the frequentation and the use of our Site, by determining, for example, the number of visits and which pages are the most or the least visited, by evaluating the navigation of the users on the Site and by identifying possible technical dysfunctions. They contribute to the constant improvement of our Sites.

• Sharing cookies:these cookies are used to allow you to share the pages of the Site that you like with your friends, via various social networks (Instagram, Facebook, etc.).

• Targeting cookies: these cookies allow us to track your web browsing, including the operating system you are using, the pages you have visited, etc. This information is then used to create non-identifying behavioral segments, on the basis of which various advertisements and commercial offers tailored to your presumed interests will be offered to you.

Some of the cookies listed above, although used on or from the Site, may be set but also used by third party companies for their own purposes (third party cookies). The third-party cookies we are aware of are those used by Instagram, Facebook, and Google+, as well as YouTube. These cookies are, therefore, subject to the privacy policies of these third-party companies, to which we refer you (see below) if you wish to obtain further information on the use of their cookies.

4. LES COOKIES GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This site uses Google Analytics cookies, which help us to identify the content you are most interested in as well as to identify certain malfunctions. Your data on this site is sent to Google Inc.

5. HOW TO MANAGE THE STORAGE OF COOKIES ON YOUR TERMINAL?

You can accept or refuse the installation of cookies on your terminal!

However, we draw your attention to the consequences that could result from blocking certain cookies, including the impact on your browsing experience on the Site. For example, if you block technical cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of the Site or services; similarly, if you refuse targeting cookies, you may only receive non-personalized ads.

On the Site, we want to make your freedom to accept or not the installation fully effective, and consequently put a cookie management tool at your disposal, so that you can accept or refuse them individually. In addition, we would like to inform you that your browser settings also allow you to accept or reject cookies. If most browsers allow cookies by default, they can easily be set to allow you to refuse them:

• Internet Explorer® : http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-FR/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies
• Safari® : https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
• Chrome® : http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&hlrm=en&answer=95647
