4. Audience Measurement and Advertising (Only With Your Consent)

If you click “Accept all” in the cookie banner, and only then, we measure site traffic and the performance of our ads using two tools from Google Ireland Limited:

• The Google Ads tag measures visits from our ads and certain actions on the site: submitting the form, clicking the phone number or email address, and downloading a document. It sets cookies in your browser (see section 5). Google may also read or set its own cookies on its domains (google.com, doubleclick.net).
• Google Analytics measures site traffic: pages viewed, length of the visit, where visitors come from and device type, among others, as well as the same actions. Google Analytics receives your IP address and uses it to estimate your approximate location (city, country), but does not store it. We have turned off Google signals and ad personalisation.
• The Google Ads tag is loaded by a script provided by Pepilead, publisher of our sales management software “Pilote ton Domaine”, which also passes these actions on to Google; this script does not record your browsing in that software. Google may transfer data to the United States, under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
• Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
• Retention in Google Analytics: 14 months after your last visit; after that, only aggregate statistics are kept.
• Earlier measurement data: until 4 November 2026, the Pepilead script also recorded in the Pilote ton Domaine software the pages viewed and certain actions, with the referring page, device type, campaign parameters, ad click identifiers and a session identifier. That data is kept for no more than 25 months.
