Accor and your digital footprint

Browsing the Internet is a bit like walking on snow. You leave traces when you browse different websites. Like your footprints in the snow, the traces you leave on the Internet cannot be used to directly reveal your identity. However, they do give some clues about you: the configuration of your computer, your region, the language you are most likely speaking, your interests, etc.

The objective of the document you are currently reading is to:

• Inform you of the existence of these traces;
• Inform you of how we use them;
• And explain how you can avoid leaving traces or delete them.

In computing, tracers (among which « cookies » are the best known) are data used by servers to send information to a web browser or mobile application, and are then used by that browser or web application to return the information to the original server.

The information can be, for example, a session identifier, a language, an expiration date, a response field, etc.

Whilst active in the user’s device, tracers are used to store information when a user accesses various pages of a website or mobile application or when this user returns to this website or mobile application at a later stage.

On the Internet, there are different categories of tracers:

• Session tracers, which are deleted as soon as you exit the browser or the website ;
• Persistent tracers, which remain on your device until their expiration or until you delete them by changing the settings in your browser.
