What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small computer file, a “tracker”, collected and read when you browse (e.g. when you consult emails, a website or a mobile application) and stored on your terminal, regardless of the model or type (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet, video game console).
These files may contain various information such as a session identifier, a language, a browsing history, etc. They are mainly used to offer personalised content or advertising and to improve your experience on the Internet.
Cookies are collected and kept, subject to your choices, for a period of 12 months following their collection. However, you can delete them at any time.
What types of cookies are used when you visit this website?
When you visit this website, different types of cookies are used. These cookies may be installed by the Association Les 3 Vallées or administered by partners (e.g. publishers of audience measurement solutions, or social networks). The list of our partners is available here on the link dedicated to this subject.

The collection and reading of other cookies requires your consent. These cookies are the following:

They enable us to produce statistics, improve the interest and ergonomics of the internal site;

How to accept, reject or delete trackers?
On your first visit to our website, and every 6 months thereafter, you will be asked to accept the collection and use of cookies. To this end, a central window is displayed on our website asking you to accept the collection of cookies or to set your choices (if you wish to modify them or refuse all or part of these cookies).
Please be aware that refusing to accept cookies may result in a degraded experience on our site. We decline all responsibility for the possible consequences of this refusal, in particular for the absence of content adapted to your navigation and your choices.
Furthermore, whatever your choice, you can at any time:
- Modify your settings within our cookie management tool Manage my consents, exclusively for cookies collected via our site;
- And/or, to have your browser delete the cookies from your terminal, these choices being applicable to your entire internet browsing.
Here is some useful information about setting cookies on browsers:
Most browsers are set by default to accept the use of all cookies and trackers. You can change this setting to select the cookies you wish to use, or refuse the use of cookies. This setting must be made on each of your terminals (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.).
The methods for setting and deleting cookies are different for each browser. These procedures are described in the help menu of your browser. You will find below the methods of setting the parameters of the tracers for the best-known browsers:
- Internet Explorer: Cookie management on Internet Explorer ;
- Microsoft Edge: Cookie management on Edge ;
- Safari: Cookie management on Safari ;
- Chrome: Cookie management on Chrome ;
- Firefox: Cookie management on Firefox.
Please note that if you choose to delete all cookies from your terminal via your browser, we will no longer have information about your choice of settings, and will be forced to ask you to re-set your choices the next time you visit our site. The same applies if you use a new browser or new terminal. As these settings are entirely the responsibility of the browsers, we do not guarantee that they will work properly.
More information on settings, by purpose:
Browser settings are sometimes insufficient. If you wish, you can further refine your settings, by targeting the purposes of each cookie:
– For audience tracking and performance: audience measurement and performance cookies are deposited by third party companies, but which help us to improve our website, to make its use easier and more efficient.
Here is a link to a page where you can find out more about these solutions and how to opt out of audience tracking cookies:
– Google Analytics (and other Google products). However, we would like to point out that deleting these cookies deprives us of the knowledge of important statistical information, necessary for the improvement of the site and its customization to your profile and interests.
– For social networks: You will find on this website buttons to redirect you to the pages we publish on social networks. If you have an account with these social networks, they can also follow your navigation on our site.
