Cookies
The GeM does not run audience measurement, advertising or visitor tracking. The website sets two small technical cookies, and some pages use Google services, which may set their own cookies.
Website cookies, needed for it to work
• pll_language (1 year): remembers the language you chose, French or English.
• acadp_rand_seed (24 hours): keeps the same display order in the equipment directory during your visit.
They contain no personal data and are only used by this website.
Google services
• Google reCAPTCHA: protects the contact form against automated submissions. It is only loaded on the form page and may set cookies there; Google analyses technical information (IP address, browser, mouse movements) to tell humans from bots.
• YouTube: videos embedded in some pages come from YouTube in “privacy-enhanced mode” (youtube-nocookie.com): YouTube only sets cookies (playback preferences, YouTube statistics) if you play the video.
These cookies are managed by Google under its privacy policy and its cookie information.
Maps
The website’s maps (access maps) come from OpenStreetMap, a free mapping service: the visitor’s IP address is sent to its servers to display the map, with no advertising or tracking.
You can refuse or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. The website remains available; only the contact form and the videos may then stop working.
