4. Web analytics — Google Analytics
The website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google.
Google Analytics enables the CRAV to better understand website traffic and usage, such as the pages viewed, the duration of visits, traffic sources and certain technical browsing characteristics.
Where the trackers used by Google Analytics require your consent, they are only placed or activated once you have given your express consent via the website’s cookie management tool.
You may refuse these trackers without this preventing you from accessing the website.
You may also withdraw your consent or change your preferences at any time via the cookie management tool.
The processing carried out by Google may involve data transfers outside the European Economic Area. These transfers are governed in accordance with the mechanisms provided for by the applicable data protection regulations.
5. Language preference — Polylang
The website uses Polylang to provide its content in several languages.
Polylang may store information that allows it to remember the language selected by the user and to display the website in the corresponding language whilst the user is browsing.
Where the sole purpose of this cookie is to retain the language choice requested by the user and it is strictly necessary for this functionality, it may be exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent in accordance with the applicable regulations.
This information is not used by the CRAV for advertising purposes.

These enable the technical operation of the website and its essential features.
Preference cookies
These may, for example, be used to remember the language selected by the user.
Audience measurement cookies
These enable the CRAV to understand website traffic and usage. In particular, the website uses Google Analytics for this purpose.
Where regulations require the user’s consent, these cookies are only set once the user has given their consent.
Refusing non-essential cookies does not prevent access to the main content of the website.
Users may change their mind at any time and withdraw their consent just as easily as they gave it, using the cookie management tool available on the website.
