"Public Body" refers to the public authority, ministry, administration, or other public entity that, alone or jointly with others, is responsible for this website.

USER OBLIGATIONS

Access to the website is via the Internet. The user declares that they are aware of the risks involved and accepts them. They must protect themselves against the effects of computer hacking by adopting a suitable and secure IT configuration.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect damage that the user may suffer in connection with their navigation on this site, the use of its services, or the external websites to which it links.

Use of the site is free of charge.

COOKIE MANAGEMENT

This site uses client-side cookies, small text files that analyse information relating to the user’s browsing (frequency of visits, duration of visits, pages viewed, etc.).

These cookies are stored by the site in a dedicated directory on the user’s computer. They contain, in particular, the name of the server that created them, a unique identifier in the form of a number, and an expiry date. The unique identifier enables the site to recognise the user’s computer on each visit. Session cookies are deleted from the user’s computer when the session ends. However, persistent cookies remain on the user’s computer for one month after the session ends.

The user may decide whether or not to allow the web server of this site to store cookies on their computer. At any time, they may adjust their browser settings to refuse and block cookies. They may also, at any time, delete cookies already stored via their browser (see the Cookie Policy).

The use of certain site features may be limited or disabled if the user refuses the site’s cookies. Users are therefore advised to configure their browser to accept the site’s cookies.

AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT PROCESSING

Certain non-identifying data relating to the user’s hardware and software are collected during their visit to the public site. This collection is solely for the purpose of obtaining visit statistics (browser type, resolution, approximate location, etc.) to better serve users.

The user’s full IP address is never retained. Only a portion of the IP address is stored to generate overall statistics, and it is not possible to identify an individual user.

This data is stored and hosted in Europe using a solution provided by a subprocessor, specifically Adobe Systems Inc., which, as a subprocessor, is subject to the same legal obligations regarding the protection of personal data, should such data be collected in the future.

The retention period for this data does not exceed the time necessary to monitor audience trends based on changes in browsers, resolutions used, or other available statistical data.

The controller for this processing is the Public Body responsible for this site.
