Technically, a cookie is a computer file that can contain any information (random identifier, email address, session token, etc.). These files are generally small in size. They are stored and read by your browser or by an application that accesses the Internet (e.g. a mobile application on a smartphone) or by your terminal's operating system (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux etc.).
A cookie belongs to a given domain (e.g. stardustemultimedia.com), has a name, a content and an expiry date.
A cookie can only be read by a server of the domain to which it belongs, or by code executed by the browser (javascript)
A “first-party” cookie (or simply a “normal” or “standard” cookie) is initially deposited by the website or server currently used by the Internet user. A “third-party” cookie is deposited or read when the Internet user browses a website or interacts with a server where that website or server has integrated technology from a different server (i.e., a “third-party”) and that technology implements a tracker or cookie owned by a domain different from that to which the server on which the Internet user is browsing belongs.
There is no fundamental difference between a standard cookie and a third-party cookie; it simply depends on the context that has been associated with the cookie. For example, a cookie set by Google while the surfer is browsing google.com is a standard cookie for Google. But if the user is browsing a site other than a Google site, and this site includes functionalities provided by Google (advertising or analysis, for example), then there is a possibility that a Google cookie may be deposited and/or read, even if the user is browsing a site that is not a Google site. In this context, Google cookies are considered third-party cookies. Such a third-party cookie may well contain an identifier that enables Google to recognize the Internet user, particularly if the Internet user has a Google account and has logged in to it from his or her browser. Google is then able to associate various data with the identifier contained in the third-party cookie, including data concerning the user's browsing history on all sites that use the same tracking technology.
A tracker is any technology that enables us to determine that we are dealing with the same user at several different times. Cookies, and in particular third-party cookies, are technologies that can be used to implement tracers: if a cookie contains a unique identifier (which may be random) and this cookie is read at several different times, the server reading this cookie will know that it is the same identifier and, therefore, the same browser or terminal. The server that holds this cookie can then record the fact that navigation on a given page has been carried out from a browser that has previously navigated to another site and another page. The browser is thus identifiable, and the server reading the cookie can associate it with a browsing history, which is recorded in a database and analyzed.
Other tracking technologies also exist, such as tracking pixels or browser fingerprints.
Tracking technologies are generally based on the assumption that a browser is associated with an individual. Thus, by tracking the use of a browser, it becomes possible to determine an individual's browsing history, to create standard profiles and to determine an individual's likely centers of interest, in particular in order to offer him or her content that interests him or her more than others, or to recognize him or her in the context of a “cash-back” program, so as to associate rebates or refunds to this user when he or she places an order on partner sites of the cash-back program.

Our company operates one or more websites.
We have implemented cookies and tracers for the purposes of navigation on our website, optimization, audience measurement, increasing our productivity, prospecting for potential new customers, our communication tools with you, the dissemination of information, particularly in the form of video or messages present on social networks and customization to your preferences of services and offers that we or our partners propose.
We use cookies to provide you with an optimal user experience tailored to your personal preferences. For example, by setting up cookies and tracers, we can avoid you having to re-enter the same information each time you visit one of our websites. We also use cookies to optimize the performance of our websites, mobile sites and mobile applications. In particular, they can make your browsing more user-friendly and help us to satisfy your requests more quickly.
The data processed as a result of the use of cookies and tracers is used by us, our partners and third parties in accordance with their purposes.
These cookies and tracking technologies are necessary for the proper operation of our websites, for example by keeping you logged into your account, preserving your browsing session as you navigate between pages, if you temporarily leave our website, or enabling you to communicate with us. Essential cookies are indispensable for the use of our websites. Disabling these cookies may prevent certain website features from functioning correctly or certain pages from being displayed. Analytics cookies that comply with the exemption criteria established by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL), as well as traffic measurement cookies ("analytics" cookies), are also considered essential, as they serve our legitimate interests in optimizing our processes, increasing productivity, and acquiring new customers for our products and services.
Essential cookies and tracking technologies are not subject to the user's consent.
Functional cookies and tracking technologies improve your browsing experience by making our websites more efficient and user-friendly. For example, they remember certain preferences (such as your preferred language or currency) that you selected during a previous visit to our websites or enable our pages to load more quickly.
They may also be used to manage access to restricted or personal areas of our websites or services, such as your personal account, by remembering your login credentials, or to enable the use of an online chat service.
Analytics, statistics, and audience measurement cookies help us better understand how our websites are used, including which pages are viewed most frequently and how visitors find our websites. These cookies and tracking technologies are important because they enable us to continuously improve our websites and better meet the expectations of our customers and visitors, particularly with regard to usability and user experience.
The use of these cookies and tracking technologies is generally subject to the user's consent. Consent or refusal is collected during a visitor's first visit to one of our websites and may subsequently be modified as described in Section 4.1.1 below
Targeting cookies and tracking technologies are primarily used to identify recurring visits from the same browser across our websites and other websites, enabling browsing histories to be compiled and allowing us to infer users' likely interests, as well as other information, including potentially identifiers or contact details, such as an email address. This makes it possible to display content and advertisements tailored to users' interests on websites that use the same tracking technologies.
Please note that disabling targeting cookies does not necessarily stop advertisements from being displayed. If you disable one or more tracking technologies in this category, you may continue to see advertisements, but they will no longer be personalized based on your browsing behavior. Instead, you will see generic advertisements, similar to those shown when using a new computer, a newly installed browser, or a newly created user account that is not associated with any known data collected by the companies operating these tracking technologies.
The use of these cookies and tracking technologies is subject to the user's consent. Consent or refusal is collected during a visitor's first visit to one of our websites and may subsequently be modified as described in Section 4.1.1 below.
These cookies and tracking technologies may be placed on your device by social media platforms. They are intended to enable the sharing of content from our websites on social media or to integrate social media content into our websites.
They may be used when we include "Like" or "Share" buttons, allowing these actions to be communicated to the relevant social media platform. These cookies and tracking technologies, as well as the data processed by these social media platforms, are outside of our control. For more information about these cookies and tracking technologies, we encourage you to consult the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Nous n'utilisons aucun pixel ou traceur soumis à votre consentement préalable dans nos e-mails. Les seuls traceurs susceptibles d'être présents dans nos communications électroniques répondent à des critères d’exemption de consentement.
Plus précisément, les traceurs utilisés nous permettent de faire en sorte que tout destinataire n’ayant manifesté aucune interaction avec nos e-mails (absence d'ouverture ou de clic) pendant une durée maximale de 60 jours soit automatiquement retiré de nos listes de diffusion pour les envois ultérieurs : le contact devient inactif. Toute interaction tracée dans un courriel existant réactive le contact comme étant actif, et ce même s'il avait été désactivé précédemment. Les traceurs dans nos courriels ne servent à rien d'autre.
Necessary cookies may last until you delete them, although most of them are deleted when you leave the session. All cookies and tracers, whether deposited directly by our sites or indirectly via our sites, have a validity period which is mentioned in the list of cookies and tracers below.
When you first connect to a site that implements optional cookies and trackers, you will be asked to accept or set your preferences regarding our use of cookies and trackers implemented on the site in question.
Please note that if you object to the installation or use of one or more cookies or trackers on one of our sites, one or more cookies will be stored containing a record of your choice. If you delete these cookies, which are intended to record your choices regarding cookies and trackers, it will no longer be possible to identify you as having refused or accepted the use of certain cookies and trackers. If these choice cookies are deleted, you will need to express your choice again. This choice is stored by our consent manager CookieYes in a single cookie named “cookieyes-consent”.
Some browsers include a feature that allows you to indicate that you do not wish to be tracked. This choice is transmitted to sites, which can then take it into account and adapt their behavior accordingly.

At present, there are no legal constraints or consensus for websites to recognize and respect the “Do Not Track” option. Few sites therefore respect this feature, including ours.
The CNIL (French authority for data protection) publishes resources that can help you configure your browsers to better control how cookies are used. Please refer to the following resources:
