Privacy

The data controller for personal data is VINCI, as identified above.

The purposes of processing personal data are:

  • for the “contact” sections, to process the request,
  • for subscriptions to La Fabrique de la Cité news, to manage the subscription.

The processing of personal data is based on the consent of the data subjects, who have the right to withdraw their consent at any time.

The collection of personal data is optional except for the services mentioned above, for which failure to provide personal data will prevent us from processing the request or providing the requested service.

The information we collect is intended exclusively for VINCI’s Communications Department. VINCI undertakes not to transfer users’ personal data to third parties; VINCI may disclose users’ personal data to any legal or judicial authority that requests it.

Visitors to this site are informed and consent to the fact that information (cookies) may be temporarily stored on their computer, tablet, or mobile phone in order to facilitate navigation on the site, provide services tailored to their device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet), and compile visitor statistics. Users are free to refuse these cookies by configuring their browser by clicking here.

Personal data will be retained:

  • for the “contact” sections, for the duration of processing the request,
  • for subscriptions to La Fabrique de la Cité news, for the duration of the subscription (the subscription may be canceled at any time).

Any personal data that a user may provide to VINCI is subject to the provisions of Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, on information technology, files, and civil liberties, as amended. As such, the user has the right to access, rectify, and erase personal information concerning them, and, under the conditions provided by law, the right to object to or restrict the processing of such information, which they may exercise at any time by writing to: VINCI, Data Protection Officer, 1983 Boulevard de la Défense, 92 000 Nanterre.

The user also has the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe that the processing of their data constitutes a violation of applicable law.

The user acknowledges that it is impossible to guarantee complete security for data transmitted over the Internet. All users must therefore exercise caution and vigilance regarding the information they post on the Site, particularly with regard to any personally identifiable information concerning them.

 

Information Regarding the Use of Cookies

When visiting our website www.lafabriquedelacite.com, information may be stored in “cookie” files installed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone. This page explains what a cookie is, what it is used for, and how you can configure it.

 

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that is stored on your device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet)—subject to your preferences—when you visit a website or view an advertisement. Its purpose is to collect information about your browsing activity and to provide you with services tailored to your device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet).

Cookies are managed by your web browser, and only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information contained within it.

A cookie does not identify you personally, but only the browser on your device.

 

What are the cookies used on our website for?

Three types of cookies, used for the purposes described below, may be stored on your device when you visit our website:

1. Technical cookies are necessary for navigating our website and accessing our various products and services. In particular, technical cookies allow us to recognize you, track your visit to a specific page, and thereby improve your browsing experience: adapting the site’s layout to your device’s display preferences (language used, screen resolution), and storing passwords and other information related to a form you have filled out on the site (registration or access to the member area). Technical cookies also enable the implementation of security measures (this is the case, for example, when you are asked to log in again to the member area after a certain period of time). These cookies cannot be disabled or configured, as doing so would prevent you from accessing the site and/or the site’s services.

2. Audience measurement cookies are set by us or our technical service providers to measure the audience for the various content and sections of our website, in order to evaluate and better organize them. These cookies also allow us, where applicable, to detect navigation issues and thereby improve the usability of our services. These cookies generate only anonymous statistics and traffic volumes, excluding any individual information. The lifespan of these audience measurement cookies does not exceed 13 months.

 

3. “Social media” cookies allow you to share content from our site with others or to let others know that you have viewed or expressed an opinion about content on the site. This is particularly the case with “Share” and “Like” buttons from social networks such as “Facebook” or “Twitter.” The social network providing such a button may identify you through it, even if you did not use it while visiting our site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these social networks to understand the purposes—including advertising—for which they may use the browsing information they collect through these application buttons. The lifespan of these cookies does not exceed 13 months.
