Cookies integrated into third-party applications on our Sites or Services
The CLUB may include third-party applications in certain Site features, allowing content sharing by users via buttons such as “Share” or “Like” from Facebook, or buttons from Twitter, LinkedIn, Viadeo, etc.

Automatically collected personal data
While browsing the Site, your computer communicates with a server, which provides requested resources and automatically logs each operation in a file where your computer is identified by its IP address.
Your browser automatically transmits standard data such as:
- Your IP address;
- Browser type and features;
- Operating system;
- Identification of any third-party sites you connected from (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn);

Automatic collection helps monitor Site activity, detect errors, and ensure resources are allocated properly. This data, especially your IP address, does not allow personal identification except through a judicial procedure involving your internet provider.
We collect information automatically during each visit (pages viewed, links clicked, documents consulted, bytes transferred, etc.).
This data helps improve Site usability by avoiding repeated input of the same information and personalizing content based on your preferences or interests. Cookies support these objectives.
