Last updated : 24 May 2026
🍪 DOCUMENT 3 — COOKIE POLICY
Compliant with the CNIL recommendations (deliberation of 17 September 2020) and the ePrivacy directive. Compatible with Google Consent Mode v2, mandatory for Google Ads since March 2024.
3.1 What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognise you during your subsequent visits, to remember your preferences, or to measure its audience.
The term “cookie” here refers, by extension, to all trackers: HTTP cookies in the strict sense, but also invisible pixels, local storage identifiers (localStorage), digital fingerprints (fingerprinting), and any similar device.
3.2 How to express your choice
On your first visit to armvtc.fr, a consent banner is presented to you. You can:
- Accept all non-essential cookies in one click;
- Refuse all non-essential cookies in one click, with the same ease as accepting them (CNIL requirement);
- Customise your choice category by category via the “Customise” button.
Your choice is kept for 6 months maximum. Beyond that, the banner reappears. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the “Manage my cookies” link in the footer.
