Cookies

These are text files that are sent to your browser when you access a website.

Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid and _gat) transmit anonymous browsing statistics. In particular, they enable us to determine the number of visits to a page and the average duration of those visits. An IP address is sent to Google Analytics, but it is not stored by Google, which means that your visit remains completely anonymous.

Tracking pixels

Facebook or Google pixels are JavaScript codes that can be used to anonymously detect the number of page visits, for example. They are used to collect statistics, analyze site performance, and deliver interest-based advertising.
