Politique de cookies

Last updated November 24,2023

This Cookie Policy explains how RUBIX FRANCE (“Rubix”, “we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at bienvenue.rubix.com (“website”). This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect personal data (such as online and device identifiers), or that becomes personal data if we combine it with other data (such as device settings, device identifiers).

1 – What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer or mobile device when you browse our website and if you accept it. Your web browser, computer or mobile device will store it for a certain period of time and send it back to the web server each time you reconnect to our online properties.

Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

For the sake of simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to cookies and other similar technologies described below.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, RUBIX FRANCE) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

The information we collect about you through the use of cookies on our website may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, login details, browser type and version, time zone and location settings, browser plug-in type and version, operating system and platform, and other information about the devices you use to access our website.

 

2 – Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary cookies”. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

You have the right to decide whether or not to accept cookies. You can exercise your rights by setting your preferences in the cookie management tool. The cookie management tool allows you to select the categories of cookies that you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The cookie management tool can be found in the “Cookies Preference” tab and on our website. If you choose to decline cookies, you can still use our website, but your access to certain features and parts of our website may be limited. You can also set or modify your web browser controls to accept or decline cookies.

The specific types of first-hand cookies and third-party cookies used on our website and the purposes they serve are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies used may vary depending on the online properties you visit).

3 – What about other similar technologies, such as web beacons?

As explained above, cookies are not the only means of distinguishing or tracking users of a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels”). These are tiny graphic files containing a unique identifier that lets us know whether someone has visited our website or opened an e-mail containing one.

This allows us, for example, to track user traffic patterns from one page of a website to another, to issue or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you arrived at the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance. In many cases, these technologies depend on cookies to function properly, so refusing cookies will interfere with their operation.

We also use local storage and session storage. Local storage is a tool that allows us to store data in the browsers of website users. The browser then retains the stored data even after the user has closed our website. Session storage is similar to local storage. The difference is that locally stored data is not deleted after a visitor leaves our website, whereas session storage data is deleted when the visitor leaves our website or when they leave a page on our website.

4 – How can I control cookies on my browser?

The ways in which you can refuse cookies via your web browser settings vary from one browser to another. We therefore advise you to consult your browser’s help menu for more information. Below are links to information pages on cookie management in the most common browsers:


5 – What type of cookies do we use?

  •  Technical cookies (strictly necessary). These are cookies that are necessary for the operation of our websites. They include, for example, cookies that enable us to manage users’ choices regarding the deposit of cookies.
  • Statistics and performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our websites and to see how visitors move through our websites as they use them. This helps us to improve the way our websites work, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our websites. This allows us to personalise our content for you, to greet you by name and to remember your preferences (for example, your preferred language or region).
  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our websites, the pages you visit and the links you follow. We will use this information to ensure that our websites and any advertising displayed on them match your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

You can find out more about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the table below.

6 – Third-party cookie providers

Please see the table below for details of the third party suppliers that set cookies on our website. Personal data about you is shared with these suppliers and we also receive personal data about you from them.

7 – How often do we update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.

These changes will appear here and will take effect immediately. Your continued use of our websites implies your acceptance of these changes.

The date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last updated.
