Cookie Management

Last updated: June 20, 2025

Introduction

When you browse Calidius websites and applications, cookies or similar technologies may be placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) to optimize your user experience and provide personalized services. This page explains in detail how these tools are used, what they are for, and guides you on how to manage your preferences.

1. Definition of cookies and related technologies

A "cookie" refers to any technical mechanism that allows reading or storing information on your device when browsing our sites or applications, or when interacting with Calidius. This can include:

• Standard cookies, small text files stored on your device to remember your preferences or recognize you on future visits;

• Equivalent technologies such as tags, invisible pixels, SDKs, or even the use of your browser’s local storage to retain information.

The common goal of all these technologies: to make your browsing easier, adapt the experience to your needs, and allow Calidius and its partners to collect certain information about your use of our services.

2. Use of cookies on our sites and applications

Calidius and its partners use cookies to collect information about your equipment and online activity, for various purposes detailed below.

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our sites and applications. For example, they allow you to:

• Log in securely and access all features;

• Remember your interface choices (language, accessibility, user preferences);

• Manage your consent or refusal for non-essential cookies.

You cannot disable these cookies through our interfaces: they are essential for access and service security. Disabling them in your browser may, however, degrade or prevent some parts of our sites or apps from working.

2.2 Cookies subject to your consent

Other, non-essential cookies are set and used only with your explicit consent. These tools fall into the following categories:

2.2.1 Analytics and statistics cookies

These cookies are used to analyze the traffic and use of our sites and apps, in order to improve the quality, relevance, and usability of our offers and content. For example, they help us study your navigation paths, understand how you interact with each page or feature, and identify what needs improvement or correction.

2.2.2 Personalization cookies

Thanks to these cookies, Calidius can tailor content to your profile and usage. They are used to:

• Personalize recommendations, usability, or visible offers on the site and apps;

• Test different versions of pages to improve your navigation;

• Adapt our communications by email, mail, phone, or SMS/MMS according to your interactions, preferences, and choices.

2.2.3 Advertising and targeting cookies

These cookies, managed by Calidius and/or its partners, aim to show you relevant ads while you browse the internet. They use data related to your browsing, and possibly your client profile (subscription, geographic area, age, gender, email address, geolocation — if you have consented), to:

• Display targeted ads tailored to your needs;

• Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns by identifying viewed or clicked ads;

• Limit the repetition of the same advertisement;

• Allow Calidius and its partners to be remunerated according to campaign performance.

If you refuse these cookies, ads will still be shown, but they will be less relevant and less tailored to your profile.

2.2.4 Sharing and social media cookies

Calidius provides you with sharing buttons for major social networks, allowing you to share certain site content with others. Note: the relevant social network may identify you through this button, even if you don’t explicitly use it, if you are logged into your social account while visiting our site.

Calidius does not control data processing by these social networks: you manage your preferences directly via your social account settings. For more details, see the privacy policies of these networks:

• Facebook

• X (Twitter)

• LinkedIn

3. Managing and setting your cookie preferences

3.1 Scope of your choices

When you set your cookie preferences while authenticated, Calidius saves and applies your choice regardless of the device used (computer, smartphone, tablet) on certain of our sites and apps. Note: if several people use the same device, or if you use multiple browsers, only the last user’s choices will apply for that device/browser. Also, your preferences are not shared across all Calidius sites and apps: you must set your choices individually for each platform.

3.2 Configuring your browser

Your browser allows you to accept or refuse all or some cookies, and to delete cookies already stored on your device at any time. Each browser offers different features and management methods. Here are help pages for the main browsers:

• Microsoft Edge

• Google Chrome

• Safari

• Mozilla Firefox

• Opera

If you refuse all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), some features of Calidius sites and apps may be impaired or unavailable. Extreme settings may also lead to cookies being systematically deleted and the information banner being shown again on every visit.
