There are several types of cookies:

• audience measurement cookies: these enable analysis of a website’s traffic (number of displays per page, time spent on each page, number of clicks, screen resolution, preferred language, website visited, timestamping of pages visited, etc.), proposals of promotional offers and banners displayed on the website and targeted to a greater or lesser extent, with a view to providing functionalities relating to social networks and media, enabling the operation of certain services and measuring services’ audiences.

Deactivating them therefore prevents any collection of information on website browsing and consequent proposal of editorial content tailored to your browsing.
