Types of data handled and purposes of treatment Browsing data The information systems and software procedures involved in the operation of this web site acquire, during the course of regular operations, certain items of personal information from users who connect to the site ; transmission of this information is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. The information in question is not collected in order to be associated with specific users, but could by its very nature allow the identification of these users as a result of processing and association with information held by third parties.
