9. COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNICAL IDENTIFIERS

Among the Personal Data, Newz may Process Personal Data resulting from the deposit or reading of cookies or other technical identifiers of the device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and/or the browser software allowing the Registrant to browse the Internet (“Terminal”)
The Processing by Newz of a technical identifier of the Terminal used by the Cardholder is necessary to associate this identifier with Newz of the latter and to allow him/her to use it for the purposes referred to in the GCU and in this Policy. The Processing of this identifier makes it possible to determine the performance and relevance for the Cardholder of the sponsorships that he/she would carry out. In particular, it allows the detection of malfunctions, authentication failures at Newz and the analysis of aggregate statistics on the frequency and types of use.
The information associated with these technical identifiers concerns in particular the pages visited, the type of navigation software or Terminal used, the IP address.
Thus, if the Holder configures his Terminal or his navigation software in such a way as to prevent Newz from reading a cookie or a technical identifier or to modify it in such a way as to prevent the Terminal concerned from being associated with the Holder’s pre-registration information, News will not be able to inform the Holder of his progress in obtaining a free subscription.
