Cookies remain on your Device for the duration of time spent on the website or for a period of thirteen (13) months from the moment they are first installed on your Device.

Article 6. How can I refuse cookies? Manage cookies

Aside from the strictly necessary cookies, the tracking activity of a cookie on a Device requires your consent, which may be given and modified at any time via the various options offered.

If you have accepted the recording of cookies on your Device, the cookies installed may be stored temporarily in a designated space on your Device. These can be read only by the issuer.

There are several options for the User to refuse cookies:

• Adjusting your browser’s cookie settings

The User may configure their web browser so that HTTP cookies are saved on their Device or, on the other hand, are refused either systematically or according to the issuer.

The User may also configure their web browser to occasionally prompt the User to accept or refuse cookies before they are saved onto the Device.

To manage cookies and cookie options, the settings for each browser are different. This is explained in the User’s browser help menu, which assists the User in knowing how to modify cookie preferences:

• For Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows Internet Explorer, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7)
• For Google Chrome
• For Safari
• For Safari IPhone/IPad
• For Firefox
• For Opera

• User cookie settings

Louvre Hotels Group invites you to consult the privacy policies of each of the following tracking tools, and if you wish, to exercise your rights to withdraw consent from them, in particular:

• Adara privacy or Adara opt-out
• Sojern privacy or Sojern tracking technologies
• Google Analytics
• Criteo
• Yahoo Analytics
• Acxiom
• Facebook

• CNIL recommendations

The CNIL (Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertés [French data protection authority]) offers advice for limiting the tracking of your browser activity:

• Blocking third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are not usually necessary for using resources available on the internet. If you wish to limit their tracking, it is recommended to refuse them by default.
• Prevent installation of the most widely used trackers. There are numerous extensions that block several trackers. For example, DoNotTrackMe, Disconnect and Ghostery, etc. can be used for Chrome.
• Blocking social network sharing options.
• Limiting Adobe Flash cookies. It is recommended to change these settings by connecting to the settings manager accessible online, but although the Flash website allows you to deactivate in order to prevent storage on computers, it does not work 100% of the time. LSO or Flash cookies cannot be removed using the traditional manner of deleting cookies using your web browser. Instead of manually deleting LSO cookies, you can download an extension to your browser that will delete them each time you close your browser. For example, Betterprivacy does this for Firefox.

• “Do Not Track” mechanism

You can also configure your browser so that it tells websites you visit that you do not wish to be tracked (a mechanism called “Do not track”).

• Google Chrome
  Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Microsoft Edge
• Apple Safari
• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera

You can also find the businesses registered on this platform offering you the option to refuse or accept the cookies used by these companies to customize the content and ads that may appear on your Device.

This European platform is shared by certain advertising professionals on the internet which provides a central forum for you to expressly refuse or accept cookies that may be used to customize the ads and content that appear on your Device. Please note that this may not prevent ads from websites that you visit from appearing. This will only block the technologies that customize ads based on your interests.
