4. Cookies

New technologies have emerged on the Internet that help us provide the visitor with a personalized service. At the Air Liquide Foundation, we use cookies to improve our visitors and users’ browsing, rationalize their registration procedures or for audience measurement. Cookies are text files of information that your browser puts on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a Web site. By definition, a cookie does not permit us to identify you: on the other hand, it records technical information about your computer’s browsing on our site (the pages you’ve consulted, the day and time of the consultation, etc.) that we can read during your later visits. You can, if you wish, oppose the recording of cookies by configuring your browser to block them (see the CNIL site: http://cnil.fr). The Air Liquide Foundation has absolutely no intention of infringing on your right to the respect for private life during use of its Site.

We inform you through these documents that the other Web sites that you might access through our own Site can collect information about you that is individually identifiable. This commitment to respecting private life does not apply to the practices of the third-party Web site connected to this Site as concerns information. The consultation of these sites as well as the collection and use of personal data on these sites is subject to the use conditions and personal data protection policies of these sites.
You are solely responsible for keeping your passwords and any information regarding your accounts confidential. Be sure to adopt a careful and responsible attitude each time you’re on line. If you give out, on line, personal information that is accessible to the public, it may happen that you will receive unsolicited messages from a third party in return. Even if we endeavor to protect your personal information, the Air Liquide Foundation cannot ensure or guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us and you therefore transmit it to us at your own risk.

6. IP addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet access provider when you browse on the Web. When you consult the pages of our Site, our servers record your IP address. We collect the IP addresses to manage our own information system and to analyze the use made of our Site. We don’t connect the IP addresses to any information of a personal nature, which means that your consultations are recorded but that you remain anonymous for us.
We can, however, use your IP address in cooperation with your Internet access provider to identify you if we think it is necessary to have our use conditions followed or to protect our offerings, our users or on the request of legal authorities.
