2. COOKIES
To ensure the continuous improvement of our site, we use cookies to track your visits. We also use cookies to provide you with specific functionalities. A cookie is a small data file that a web page server transfers to your browser, which can only be read by the server that sent it to you. It is in fact an “identity card”; this file is not a program, and cannot be used to execute computer code or carry a virus. Cookies also allow us to personalize our site according to your interests or to store information specific to you (for example, passwords or personal identification numbers). If a site ever greets you with your name, it is probably because it is using a cookie. Most browsers are initially configured to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when a server sends you a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. To find out more about cookies and how to change your settings, please consult your browser’s help section. Please note, however, that if you choose to “filter” cookies, you may receive frequent alerts, which can be very tiresome. You may use the Tourisme Laurentides website without cookies.
