A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. The cookie allows the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time. It helps to navigate from page to page on a website, provide secure connections, and remembers preferences from a previous visit, when you return.

Below, we explain the function of the different types of cookies you will encounter on our website.

Cookies On Our Website

Operational cookies: Recticel uses operational cookies. These are small files placed on your computer or device to help you navigate from page to page on the Recticel website. For example, without such cookies, you would need to provide your language preference every time you switch to a different page on the Recticel website. These cookies are thus essential for easy use of the site.

Non-Operational Cookies: We also use cookies to provide other services or to help us improve our products and services. Some cookies provide us statistics about the number of visitors and the web pages viewed. This information helps us to design more useful content for you. Some of these cookies are third party cookies.

Third Party Cookies: We sometimes use third party cookies, like for Google Analytics (__utma, __utmb, __utmc, __utmz, __utmv) or for Youtube (embedded videos:  PREF, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC). These are non-operational cookies. If we use them, we will inform you of the purpose of the third party cookies and request your consent to store them.

If we use non-operational cookies, we will request whether you accept our use of cookies. If you do not accept such cookies, some services and functionalities do not work. In particular, this may limit your use of the site and its various features, and reduces our ability to improve our products and services and provide engaging content.

How can you manage the cookies ?

Most browsers support cookies, but you can set your browsers to decline them and can delete them whenever you like. You can manage the cookies yourself by adapting your preferences in your browser. The exact process depends on which browser you are using, which can be easily found via your search function on internet.
