Cookie Management Policy

1. Purpose of this Policy

This policy is intended to inform users of the SIEMEL INDUSTRIE website about the use of cookies and other tracking technologies that may be stored on or accessed from their device while browsing the website.

It sets out, in particular, the different categories of cookies that may be used, their purposes, and the means available to users to accept, refuse or modify their choices.

2. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file or tracking technology that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies may be used, in particular, to:

• ensure the proper technical operation of the website;
• remember certain choices made by the user;
• measure website traffic and usage;
• display certain content or services provided by third parties.

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website and may be used without prior consent. Cookies and tracking technologies that are not strictly necessary are, in principle, subject to the user’s prior consent.

3. Data Controller

The party responsible for the use of cookies and the associated processing activities is:

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE
Simplified joint-stock company (SAS)
51 avenue de Paris
36150 Vatan – France
SIREN: 394 406 045

For any questions relating to the protection of your personal data or the use of cookies, you may contact:

Data Protection Officer – SIEMEL INDUSTRIE
Email: contact@siemel.fr

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

The website may use cookies that are strictly necessary for its operation.

These cookies may be used, in particular, to:

• ensure the technical operation and security of the website;
• remember preferences relating to cookie consent;
• ensure the operation of certain essential features.

These cookies do not require the user’s prior consent where they are strictly necessary for the provision of the requested service or for electronic communications.

5. Audience Measurement Cookies – Google Analytics

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE uses Google Analytics to measure website traffic and better understand how the website is used.

Google Analytics may, in particular, provide information relating to:

• pages visited;
• duration of visits;
• interactions with the website;
• the type of device and browser used;
• an approximate geographical location;
• certain technical information or identifiers relating to browsing activity.

Under the configuration chosen by SIEMEL INDUSTRIE, Google Analytics tracking technologies subject to consent are only activated after the user has given their consent through the cookie management tool.

Users may refuse audience measurement cookies without this preventing general access to the website.

Google Analytics provides, in particular, retention periods of 2 or 14 months for certain user-level and event-level data for standard properties.

6. Google Maps and External Content

Certain pages of the website may integrate a mapping service provided by Google Maps.

The use of this service may result in a connection to Google’s servers and the transmission of certain technical information relating to your device or browsing activity.

Where consent is required, the Google Maps service must remain disabled until the user has given their consent or taken an explicit action to activate it.

Refusing Google Maps must not prevent access to the other content available on the website.

7. Consent Management

When you first visit the website, a cookie management tool allows you to express your choices regarding cookies and services subject to consent.

You may, in particular:

• accept cookies subject to consent;
• refuse them;
• choose which categories you wish to allow;
• change your choices at a later date;
• withdraw your consent at any time.

Cookies requiring consent must not be stored or accessed before the user has made a positive and informed choice. The absence of a choice or simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute consent.

Refusing cookies must be offered with a level of simplicity comparable to accepting them.

8. Retention of Your Choices

To avoid asking you to make a choice on every page or on every new visit, your decision regarding cookies may be stored for a certain period of time.

The CNIL generally considers a period of six months to be good practice for retaining both the user’s consent and refusal.

At the end of this period, you may be asked to provide your consent again.

9. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

You may change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time.

The website must provide an easily accessible means of reopening the cookie management tool, for example through a “Manage my cookies” link available on the website.

Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.

The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

10. Third-Party Services

Certain cookies or tracking technologies may be associated with services provided by third-party companies, including:

Google LLC, in connection with:

• Google Analytics;
• Google Maps.

These service providers may process certain data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

The use of services provided by Google may result in certain data being processed outside the European Economic Area, under the conditions described in the website’s Privacy Policy.

11. Browser Settings

Internet browsers generally allow users to delete or block certain cookies.

However, browser settings do not necessarily replace the consent collection mechanism provided directly on the website for cookies that require the user’s prior consent. The CNIL states, in particular, that browser settings alone do not currently make it possible to obtain valid consent.

12. Changes to the Cookie Policy

SIEMEL INDUSTRIE may amend this policy in order to take account of:

• changes to the website;
• the addition or removal of a service;
• changes to the cookies or tracking technologies used;
• changes in applicable regulations or recommendations issued by the competent authorities.

In the event of a material change, this policy will be updated to reflect the relevant new processing activities.
