Cookies policy

At Ekino, protecting your personal data is a priority!

During browsing by the User (or “You”, “Your”) on the EKINO website www.ekino.com (the “WebSite”), cookies or other tracers or similar technologies (hereinafter “cookies”) may be installed in the User’s browser subject to the choices and options that the User has expressed or may express at any time in accordance with this Cookie Policy. These cookies may be collected and used by Ekino (the “Company”) – these so-called proprietary cookies and their purpose are identified below. Third-party companies may also use cookies on our Website – these third-party cookies are also listed below.

Our Cookie Policy explains what is meant by “cookies”, details the types of cookies we use on the Website and specifies the rights you have to accept or refuse the installation of cookies. You can manage Your choices via the Cookies management module.

A cookie is a small file for the storage and recovery of information, usually made up of alphanumeric characters (see letters and numbers), placed by a web server on the User’s computer or electronic device to send status information to said browser and obtain the same information back from the browser. For example, status information may be a session ID, language, expiry date, field of response, etc.

Cookies usually allow to obtain certain information about the user’s browsing habits, his/her computer or his/her device, in order to improve the content and service offered by the website in question, to know the traffic of the said website and to provide Internet users with personalised services.

The concept of cookies as used in this Cookies policy covers all types of trackers or similar technologies, for example:

• HTTP cookies;
• but also the use of other techniques:

• local shared objects sometimes called “Flash cookies”;

• the local storage implemented within HTML 5;

• device fingerprinting;

• IDs generated by the operating systems (whether advertising or not: IDFA, IDFV, Android ID, etc.);

• material IDs (MAC address, serial number or any other device ID).

In any event, cookies may be:

• session cookies, that disappear as soon as the User leaves the browser or the Website;
• permanent cookies that remain until their duration or validity expires, or until the User deletes them through the features of his/her browser for example or through the cookie management module made available on our Website.

There are two main categories of cookies, subject to different legal regimes.

The sole purpose of strictly necessary cookies is (i) to enable or facilitate electronic communication on, from or to the Website or (ii) to enable the provision of an online communication service at the express request of the Website User.

Without them, the registration of services and connection are not possible or in a degraded mode.  If You deactivate these cookies using the functions offered by Your browser, You may not be able to access the Website, and/or You may not correctly receive the content and information available on the Website and/or You may not be able to take advantage of all the Website’s functions.

These cookies are exempt from the need for Ekino to obtain Your consent for their installation. Ekino may therefore use cookies that are essential for browsing the Website and/or strictly necessary for the provision of certain services without asking for Your prior consent or allowing You to refuse their use via the Cookie management module.

Statistical cookies: these cookies make it possible to compile statistics and volumes of visits to and use of the various elements making up the Website and application (sections and content visited, route, visiting time), in order to improve the interest and ergonomics of the services.

The use of these statistical cookies is subject in principle to the prior consent of the User, who is free to either (i) accept them by expressly consenting to their installation and reading in his/her browser, or (ii) refuse them.

However, when these cookies are used to establish statistics and traffic volumes for use strictly necessary for the functioning and day-to-day administration of the Website, under the conditions and in compliance with the configuration guides issued by the CNIL, these cookies are exempt from prior consent. However, Users can always express their choice for exempted statistical cookies via the Cookies management module. This is the case for our cookies as defined in article 4.2 below.

Interaction and social network cookies

The purpose of these cookies is to enable the User to view or listen directly on our Website to multimedia content hosted on social networks or platforms.

The use of these interaction and social network cookies, including if they come from third-party companies, is subject in principle to the prior consent of the User, who may freely (i) either accept them by expressly consenting to their installation and reading in his/her browser (it being specified that the User will then have the option of withdrawing his/her consent at any time under the terms and conditions set out in article 4 below), (ii) or refuse them.

Our Website collects cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website and are not subject to prior consent in accordance with the provisions set out above.

The Website uses audience measurement services necessary for the operation of the Website, allowing its proper administration and the evaluation of the ergonomics of the Website. The Company has chosen to use the services of Matomo, the Matomo Analytics version 4 solution, which complies with the configuration guides issued by the CNIL and is exempt from consent. As these cookies are not subject to the user’s consent, the settings tool offers the possibility of refusing (opt-out) these cookies.

Third-party may also use performance cookies, enabling them to obtain statistics and measure the audience for content included on our Website. These third-party cookies are subject to your consent. We invite you to refer to the cookies and confidentiality policies of these third-party companies for any additional information on their cookies.

Our Website may also use third-party cookies subject to consent. Some multimedia content on our Website is hosted on sharing platforms. Viewing or accessing this content is subject to acceptance of cookies storing the User’s reading preferences for the embedded content. Refusal of third-party cookies may make it impossible to view or listen to certain content embedded on our Website.

You can technically block all these cookies by using your browser settings (see paragraph 5 – b) Alternative – Cookie management settings via browsers) but your experience on the Website may be degraded.

You also have the option of objecting to the use of audience measurement cookies and interaction or social network cookies via the cookies management module.

However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that :

• do not all allow you to distinguish between cookies according to their purpose (as a result, you are often obliged to configure your choices to “accept all” or “reject all”) ;
• do not all allow the User to express valid consent (which means that despite your consent to cookies via your browser, we will ask you again for specific consent under the conditions and according to the methods described above before any cookies subject to your consent are installed/read by us);
• do not all allow you to choose technologies other than “cookies for tracking purposes” in the strict sense of the term. It is therefore possible that certain cookies, tracers or other similar technologies are not blocked on principle (e.g. device fingerprinting) and may still be installed and/or activated despite your refusal expressed in the settings of your browser .

We therefore recommend that you use the Module to express your choices regarding cookies on the Website.

However, if you decide to prohibit cookies, we cannot be held responsible for any degradation in the functioning of the Website as a result of the settings you have chosen.

Finally, if you have deactivated one or more cookies, we can still use the information collected by these cookies before they were deactivated. However, we will stop collecting data via the cookie that was refused.

You can obtain information on how to control your data when browsing the Internet on the website of the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés or “CNIL” (https://www.cnil.fr/fr/maitriser-mes-donnees, in particular https://www.cnil.fr/fr/cookies-les-outils-pour-les-maitriser). In this respect, third-party cookies are not usually necessary to take advantage of the resources available on the Internet. If you wish to limit your traces, it is recommended that you refuse them by default, by referring to the CNIL’s advice.
