If you refuse cookies, or if you delete those stored there, we inform you that you will no longer be able to benefit from a certain number of features which are nevertheless necessary to navigate in certain areas of our website. In this case, we decline all responsibility for the consequences related to the degraded functioning of our services resulting from the impossibility for us to record or consult the cookies necessary for their operation and which you would have refused or deleted.

In addition, BeStudentAgain may purchase advertising space directly or through service providers (communication consulting agencies) in order to promote its activities and offers on third-party sites or applications, using advertising content (text, graphics, animations, videos, etc.) distributed by these sites or applications. Similarly, cookies may be included in the advertising spaces on the Site. These advertising spaces display advertising content from advertisers on your device. These spaces contribute to the financing of the content and services that BeStudentAgain makes available to you.

It is therefore important to distinguish between the cookies we issue on our bestudentagain.com website and those issued by third parties. Cookies may be placed from time to time on certain pages of the bestudentagain.com website by third parties (advertisers or others). This is the case, for example, for cookies from the social network Facebook. We inform you that we have no control over the use of cookies by third parties.

When displaying such advertising content, information relating to the browsing of your terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) may be recorded in “cookie” files installed on this terminal, subject to the choices expressed regarding cookies, by one of the means described below and which you can modify at any time.

Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information contained therein.

The cookies issued by BeStudentAgain allow:

• to establish statistics and volumes of visits and use of the various elements making up the Site (sections and content visited, routes), and allow us to improve the interest and ergonomics of the services consulted on the Site,
• to count the total number of advertisements displayed by the company BeStudentAgain on its advertising spaces, to identify these advertisements, their respective number of displays, the number of users who clicked on each advertisement and, where applicable, the subsequent actions carried out by these users on the pages to which these advertisements lead, in order to calculate the amounts owed to the actors in the advertising distribution chain (communication agency, advertising agency, distribution site/media) and to establish statistics,
• to adapt the presentation of the Site and the advertising spaces relating thereto to the display preferences of your terminal (language used, display resolution, operating system used, etc.) during visits to the Site, according to the hardware and viewing or reading software that this terminal contains,
• to adapt the advertising content displayed on your terminal by the advertising spaces, according to the navigation of this terminal and/or according to the personal data that you have provided to us,

• to allow you to access reserved and personal areas of the Site, using the identifiers chosen when registering on the Site,
• to implement security measures, for example when restricted access is revoked after a certain period of time.

Where applicable, BeStudentAgain declines all responsibility for the consequences linked to the degraded functioning of the Site's services resulting from the impossibility of storing or consulting the cookies necessary for their operation and which you have refused or deleted.

The interest of seeing advertisements adapted to navigation

One of BeStudentAgain's goals is to present you with the most relevant ads possible. To this end, cookie technology allows us to determine in real time which ad to display to a device, based on its recent browsing on one or more sites or applications.

Your interest in the advertising content displayed on your device when visiting other sites often determines the advertising resources of that device, allowing it to operate its services, often provided to users free of charge. You probably prefer to see ads that correspond to what interests you rather than ads that are of no interest to you. Similarly, advertisers who want to see their ads displayed are interested in displaying their offers to users who are likely to be most interested in them.

In case of shared use of your terminal

If your terminal is used by several people and when the same terminal has several navigation software programs, the company BeStudentAgain cannot ensure with certainty that the services and advertisements intended for this terminal correspond to your own use and not to that of another user of this terminal.

Where applicable, sharing the use of this terminal with other people and configuring the browser settings used with regard to cookies is your free choice and your responsibility.

Third-party cookies

When you browse the Site, cookies issued by third-party companies may be placed by them on your device, subject to the choices you may have made previously or at any time, in particular through the configuration of your browser settings, under the conditions described below. The purpose of these cookies is to identify the Products viewed on the Site and to collect browsing data in order to personalize the advertising offer that may be presented to you outside the Site. As part of this type of advertising partnership, the company BeStudentAgain may be required to transmit to the partner concerned anonymous browsing data concerning the Products viewed with your device when you browse the Site.

The issue and use of cookies by third parties are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties.
