Use of cookies

What is a “cookie”?

A “cookie” is a file of limited size, usually consisting of letters and numbers, sent by the web server to the cookie file of the browser located on your computer’s hard drive.

Types of cookies used

These cookies allow the site to function optimally. You can refuse them and delete them using your browser settings, however your user experience may be degraded.

You can set your browser to alert you to the presence of cookies and to offer you the option of accepting them or not. You can accept or refuse cookies on a case by case basis or refuse them once and for all. Please note that this setting may modify your conditions of access to the site’s services requiring the use of cookies.

Cookies for audience measurement

In order to adapt the site to the demands of its visitors, we measure the number of visits, the number of pages viewed as well as the activity of visitors on the site and their frequency of return.

We use the Matomo software for our statistics. Matomo respects the “Do not track” option that you can activate in your browser to indicate to the sites you visit that you do not wish to be tracked.

Matomo generates a cookie with a unique identifier, which is kept for a limited period of 13 months.

We also collect your IP address to determine the country from which you are connecting. This is immediately anonymised. Inist-CNRS can therefore in no way trace it back to a physical person.

Cookies for site administrators

If you have an account and log on to this site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.

As you log in, we will set a number of cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. The lifetime of a login cookie is two days, the lifetime of a screen option cookie is one year. If you check “Remember me”, your login cookie will be retained for a fortnight. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.

As you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data. It only stores the identifier of the article you have just modified. It expires after one day.
