In the framework of operation of the website (www.lfis.com), the company operating this website, LFIS, may be led to deposit cookies on workstations of website visitors ("visitor", "you", "your") and process personal data.
Please read the privacy policy of LFIS carefully as well as the below information to be aware of how we process your personal data, how we use cookies and how you can control these cookies.
1/ Definition of “cookies”
A cookie is a text file placed on the device you are using to access the internet (computer, mobile phone, tablet etc.) when you use a browser to visit a website.
We place a unique identifier in the cookie and use the cookie to connect your computer to the information that we store in our database. It contains data which allow you to be identified:
- The name of the server which placed it;
- A unique numeric identifier;
- Possibly, an expiry date.
We use cookies to:
- Suggest offers in line with the visitor’s profile;
- Make it easier to share information (among other on social networks);
- Save login settings for a better website experience and, in general, to optimise the way the website is displayed;
- Propose adverts suited to your areas of interest;
- Enable authorisation and/or connection to certain websites;
- Collect statistical information.
Cookies are not the only way that visitors to a website can be recognised or traced. We may from time to time use other, similar technologies, such as tags (sometimes known as “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”. These are tiny graphic files containing a unique identifier which enables us to recognise when someone has visited the website. In many case these technologies depend on cookies to function correctly, so rejection of cookies will obstruct their operation. Also, for ease of understanding, we use the term "cookie" which includes all of this technology.
When your consent is required for their use, consent for placing of cookies is stored for 6 months and remains valid for 13 months. At the end of this period, we will again seek your consent. Cookies placed by the owner of a website are known as “internal cookies”. Cookies placed by parties other than the owner of a website are known as “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies allow the provision of third-party functions or functionalities on or via a website (such as advertising or interactive or analytic content). People who install these third-party cookies may collect some of your personal data, recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits other websites.
2/ What cookies do we use?

Their deactivation or removal may lead to the malfunctioning of certain functionalities.
