the right of access under Article 15 of the GDPR and rectification under Article 16 of the GDPR, as well as the right to update and complete User data, and the right to restrict or erase Users’ personal data under Article 17 of the GDPR where it is inaccurate, incomplete, ambiguous, outdated, or where its collection, use, disclosure or retention is prohibited

Gîtes-sisteron.fr undertakes to take all necessary precautions to preserve the security of the Information and, in particular, to prevent it from being disclosed to unauthorised persons.

Our incident notification procedures take account of our legal obligations at national and European level. We undertake to keep our clients fully informed of all matters concerning the security of their account and to provide them with all information necessary to help them comply with their own regulatory reporting obligations.

Hyperlinks, cookies and Internet tags
The Gîtes-sisteron.fr website contains a number of hyperlinks to other websites, included with the authorisation of Gîtes-sisteron.fr. However, Gîtes-sisteron.fr is unable to verify the content of websites visited in this way and therefore accepts no liability in this respect.
Unless you choose to disable cookies, you accept that the website may use them. You may disable these cookies at any time, free of charge, using the opt-out options described below, although doing so may reduce or prevent access to all or part of the Services offered by the website.

9.1. “COOKIES”

A “cookie” is a small information file sent to the User’s browser and stored on the User’s device, such as a computer or smartphone, hereinafter referred to as “Cookies”. This file contains information such as the User’s domain name, Internet service provider, operating system, and the date and time of access. Cookies cannot damage the User’s device under any circumstances.

Gîtes-sisteron.fr may process information about the User’s visit to the Website, such as pages viewed and searches performed. This information enables Gîtes-sisteron.fr to improve the Website’s content and the User’s browsing experience.

Since Cookies facilitate browsing and/or the provision of services offered by the Website, the User may configure their browser to decide whether to accept them, so that Cookies are stored on the device or, alternatively, rejected either systematically or according to their issuer. The User may also configure their browser software so that they are asked on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject Cookies before a Cookie can be stored on their device. Gîtes-sisteron.fr informs the User that, in this case, not all functions of their browser software may be available.

If the User refuses to allow Cookies to be stored on their device or browser, or deletes those already stored, the User is informed that their browsing and experience on the Website may be limited. This may also occur where Gîtes-sisteron.fr or one of its service providers is unable, for technical compatibility purposes, to recognise the type of browser used by the device, the language and display settings, or the country from which the device appears to be connected to the Internet.

Where applicable, Gîtes-sisteron.fr accepts no liability for the consequences of degraded operation of the Website and any services offered by Gîtes-sisteron.fr resulting from (i) the User’s refusal of Cookies or (ii) the inability of Gîtes-sisteron.fr to store or access the Cookies required for their operation because of the User’s choices. Browser configuration differs for the management of Cookies and User choices. The procedure is described in the browser’s help menu, which explains how the User can change their Cookie preferences.

At any time, the User may express and change their Cookie preferences. Gîtes-sisteron.fr may also use external service providers to help collect and process the information described in this section.

Finally, by clicking the dedicated Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Plus social-network icons appearing on the Gîtes-sisteron.fr Website or in its mobile application, and where the User has consented to the placement of Cookies by continuing to browse the Gîtes-sisteron.fr Website or mobile application, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Plus may also place Cookies on your devices, including computers, tablets and mobile phones.

These types of Cookies are placed on your devices only where you consent by continuing to browse the Gîtes-sisteron.fr Website or mobile application. The User may nevertheless withdraw consent at any time for Gîtes-sisteron.fr to place this type of Cookie.

Article 9.2. INTERNET TAGS

Gîtes-sisteron.fr may occasionally use Internet tags, also known as tags, action tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and one-by-one GIFs, and deploy them through a web analytics specialist partner that may be located, and therefore store the corresponding information, including the User’s IP address, in a foreign country.

These tags are placed both in online advertisements allowing Internet users to access the Website and on the Website’s various pages.

This technology enables Gîtes-sisteron.fr to assess visitors’ responses to the Website and the effectiveness of its actions, for example the number of times a page is opened and the information viewed, as well as the User’s use of the Website.

The external service provider may collect information about visitors to the Website and other websites through these tags, prepare reports on Website activity for Gîtes-sisteron.fr, and provide other services relating to use of the Website and the Internet.
