We and our partners use marketing and social media cookies (also known as advertising cookies) to provide visitors with more relevant ads tailored to their interests. These cookies track your browsing on our website and other websites, collect information about your habits and preferences and are used to understand your interests better based on past or current browsing activities.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used for the following purposes:
 

• Advertising targeting and “retargeting”: These cookies help us to display ads that are relevant to you (including on third-party websites such as social media). This personalisation is based on your past browsing. For example, if you have visited specific product pages on our website, you may see ads for those products on other websites you visit.
  
  
• Analysing advertising performance: We use cookies to assess the performance of our advertising campaigns and calculate our partners’ remuneration. This includes calculating the number of times an ad has been viewed or clicked on, and whether it has led to an action by the user, such as visiting a product page or applying for a card. Their aim is also to limit the frequency of dissemination (i.e. limit the number of times you see an ad).
  
  
• Personalisation: Cookies help us personalise content or search results as well as advertising messages according to your specific interests and needs.
