Trinity Audio player
Certain pages of the website offer an audio player based on the Trinity Audio solution.
In order to protect visitors’ privacy:
- no Trinity script is loaded when the page is initially opened;
- no request is made to Trinity servers before the user takes a deliberate action;
- no Trinity cookie is placed before the audio player is activated.
The player is loaded only after user interaction.
YouTube videos
YouTube videos embedded on the website are loaded, where technically possible, via the YouTube-Nocookie domain.
This mode is intended to limit the placement of cookies by YouTube before a video is played, but does not in itself constitute a complete block on all technical exchanges with Google/YouTube services.
Consequently:

- when the video is activated, displayed or played, technical data may be transmitted to Google/YouTube.
Processing carried out by YouTube, particularly when a video is activated or played, is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.

In this context, statistical indicators may be used to measure campaign deliverability and the general use of the communications sent.
In accordance with the CNIL’s recommendations concerning tracking mechanisms embedded in electronic communications, recipients are informed of the existence of these measurements and are provided with a simple means of opting out of statistical tracking while continuing to receive the communications to which they are subscribed.
These measurements are used exclusively for statistical purposes, to improve communication campaigns and to manage the relationship with subscribers.

Useful information
A number of websites provide detailed information about cookies, including AboutCookies.org and AllAboutCookies.org.
The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website, Your Online Choices, allows you to install opt-out cookies for various advertising networks.
Google has developed a browser add-on that allows users to opt out of Google Analytics tracking on all websites that use it. This add-on is also available from the Chrome Web Store.
Some browsers include a feature called “Do Not Track” or DNT. This feature allows you to indicate a preference that websites should not track you. However, although DNT is available in many browsers, websites are not required to honour the request, meaning that it may not always be effective.
You can find help on using DNT in Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
Internet Explorer includes a feature called Tracking Protection Lists, which allows you to import a list of websites that you wish to block.
