How to manage cookies ?
For cookie management, the user has several options and can express or change his or her wishes regarding cookies at any time using one of the means described below. In fact, while it is true that most browsers are parameterized by default and thus accept the installation of cookies, the user always has the option, if desired, to choose between accepting all cookies and systematically rejecting them or accepting only those cookies that come from certain chosen sites. Users can also parameterize their browser to accept or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis, prior to their installation, and can also regularly delete cookies already installed on their device, using their browser for this purpose. It should be noted that for this purpose users should parameterize the browsers of all their different devices (tablets, smartphones, computers, …).
In fact, for handling cookies and different options, the configuration of each browser is different. The same is described in the ” Help ” menu of the browser, so that users can know how they can change their choices regarding cookie parameterization. As an example, see :
