Ethic Seido and its services use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons), as well as resettable identifiers, for various reasons. This section is intended to inform you about our use of such technologies. It explains the types of technologies we use, their purpose, and the choices you have regarding their use.
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your device when you visit and use websites and online services. Cookies are often associated with web beacons (also known as clear gifs or web beacons). In most cases, rejecting cookies reduces the effectiveness of the web beacons associated with them.
If you use our services on a mobile device, a tablet we may collect a resettable ID from your device. Resettable identifiers (also called "Ad IDs"), similar to cookies, are found on many mobile devices and tablets (for example, Ad IDs, or IDFA, on iOS devices and Google Ad IDs on Android devices), as well as on some streaming devices. Like cookies, resettable IDs help make online advertising content more relevant and are used for analysis and optimization.
Why does Ethic Seido use these technologies?
We use these technologies for different reasons. Among other things, they allow us to facilitate access to our services by remembering your information when you return; to provide, analyze, understand and improve the use of our services; to enforce our Terms of Use and prevent fraud; to improve site performance, monitor traffic and user actions on our site; and to provide and customize our marketing or advertising, and to understand interactions with our emails, marketing and online advertising on third party sites.

Cookies required : These cookies are essential to the operation of our website and online services.

Performance and functionality cookies : These cookies help us tailor and improve your online experience. For example, they allow us to remember your preferences and save you from having to re-enter information that you have already given us (for example, when you register). We also use this type of cookie to collect data (such as most popular pages, conversion rates, reading habits, or number of clicks) about how users use the services, to improve and personalize our services, and for market research purposes. Removing these types of cookies may limit the functionality of our services.
Advertising cookies and resettable identifiers : Cookies and resettable identifiers use information about your use of this website, applications and other websites, and your response to advertisements and e-mails, to provide you with advertisements that may be of greater interest to you, and for analysis and optimization purposes.
