Disabling them compromises the use of services accessible from login. The public part of the LAMA websites remains normally accessible.
- Analysis and performance cookies. These cookies are used to collect and analyse traffic and website usage anonymously. Although these cookies do not identify the user, they allow us to detect, for example, whether the same user returns to the website at different times. They also allow us to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. These cookies can be disabled without any loss of functionality.
- Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) the user’s preferences and improve their browsing experience.

The most common use of Social plugins are designed to share content on social networks.
The presence of these plugin involves the transmission of cookies to and from all websites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by ‘third parties’ is governed by the relevant privacy policies, which we invite you to refer to.
