2. What are cookies and can they identify you directly?

A cookie is a small "text" file placed and hosted by a server on your terminal (e.g. smartphone, tablet or computer) when you visit a website.

A cookie does not enable you to be identified personally, as it only enables your terminal to be identified via your IP address, as well as various information linked to your browsing (e.g. browsing time, pages viewed, size of your screen, etc.).

3. What are technical cookies and why do we use them?

The proper functioning of our website obe-en.comparecycle.com necessarily involves the use of technical cookies which we may use without your prior consent, on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing you with a functional website.

For example, a technical cookie enables us to remember the language of your website as well as the format of the site to facilitate future connections and navigation.

Although we do not recommend it, you can always prevent these cookies from being deposited on your terminal using your browser settings by following the instructions below: Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox and Opera.

In this case, however, your experience as a visitor may be degraded. To restore good browsing quality, you will need to reset the technical cookies.

4. What are statistical cookies and why do we use them?

A statistical cookie is used to analyse your use of a website (e.g. browsing time, pages visited, etc.) in order to improve your experience and provide you with a service tailored to your needs.

For our internet site obe-en.comparecycle.com, we use statistical cookies which are not exempt from consent and which can only be deposited on your terminal with your prior consent formulated via our cookies banner.

5. What are advertising cookies and do we use them?

An advertising cookie can be used either to provide advertising on a website or to identify the source of a visitor's arrival on a site (e.g. Google, Bing, etc.).

WE GUARANTEE THAT WE DO NOT USE ANY ADVERTISING COOKIES FOR THE OPERATION OF OUR WEBSITE.

6. What personal data do we process with our cookies and for how long?

The personal data processed by the cookies we use are:

• if you accept the deposit of statistical cookies, your personal data relating to your browsing on our website (e.g. pages visited, browsing times, etc.) for a maximum period of 13 months, non-renewable before any new connection before the 14th month

Once the retention periods specified below have expired, we do not retain any data about you. At most, we may anonymise your data for statistical purposes.

You have the right to refuse cookies at any time using our cookies banner.

If the cookies banner is no longer displayed, you can also configure cookies via the "manage cookies" tab on our site or directly on your browser by following the instructions below: Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox and Opera.

8. What rights do you have to control the use of your personal data via cookies?

The applicable data protection regulations give you specific rights which you can exercise, at any time and free of charge, to control the use we make of your data.

• The right to access and copy your personal data, provided that this request does not conflict with business secrecy, confidentiality, or the confidentiality of correspondence.

• The right to rectify any personal data that is incorrect, obsolete or incomplete.

• The right to request the deletion ("right to be forgotten") of your personal data that is not essential for the proper functioning of our services.

• The right to limit your personal data, which allows you to photograph the use of your data in the event of a dispute over the legitimacy of processing.

• The right to data portability, which allows you to recover part of your personal data so that it can be easily stored or transmitted from one information system to another.

• The right to give instructions on what should happen to your data in the event of your death, either through you, a trusted third party or a beneficiary.

For a request to be taken into account, it must be sent directly by you to rgpd@comparecycle.com. Any request that is not made in this way cannot be processed.

Requests cannot come from anyone other than you. We may therefore ask you to provide proof of identity if there is any doubt about the identity of the person making the request.

We will respond to your request as quickly as possible, subject to a maximum delay of three months from receipt if the request is technically complex or if we receive many requests at the same time.

Please note that we can always refuse to respond to any excessive or unfounded request, particularly if it is repetitive.

9. Can your personal data used via our cookies be transferred outside the European Union?

The statistical cookies we use may send your IP address and user ID outside the European Union in order to function. In this case, we guarantee that these tools comply strictly with the applicable rules on transfers in order to guarantee confidentiality and adequate protection of your personal data.
