In accordance with its policy on the protection of personal data, the INFPC collects, stores and processes certain items of personal data in order to deliver its services to its users, in the capacity of Data Controller.
In this context, and in accordance with the Law of 1 August 2018 on the organisation of the National Commission for Data Protection and the general data protection framework, and with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the "GDPR") (referred to together hereinafter as the "Laws on the protection of personal data"), the INFPC uses cookies on its website lifelong-learning.lu.
The cookies used by this website are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device allowing Internet browsing (the "Terminal"), subject to the choices about cookies you have expressed, which may be changed at any time, using our preference management tool or your browser settings.
Cookies are small text files that make it possible to record certain items of information about your browsing; they are saved on the hard disk of your Terminal when you visit a website.
Cookies are sent by the website's server to your browser.
Cookies can be used to authenticate a user or store specific information about the user, such as the preferences of a website or the content of an e-shopping basket, all for duration of the validity of the cookie concerned; the cookie's actual content can only be edited by the INFPC. Thus cookies make it possible to collect certain information in order to be able to offer you personalised services that match your needs.
As indicated on the information banner, by continuing to browse our website you accept the deposit of certain categories of cookies on your Terminal. You may change your decision on this at any time and oppose the deposit of cookies via our preference management tool or your browser's settings.
The INFPC uses three types of cookie on this website: (i) browser cookies (essential), (ii) session cookies (essential), and (iii) analytics cookies (optional).
Cookies are said to be 'essential' if they are necessary for activating the website's basic functions, such as a safe connection to your user space. They are activated automatically when you use the website and log on.
Cookies are optional if they make it possible to gather information about your use of the website but are not essential.
Whether they are essential or optional, cookies may also be functional, for example files that enable other functions, such as saving preferences, social interactions, the possibility of posting comments on our website, and analysis of your use in order to optimise the website.
Cookies of this type are used to improve the user's comfort during subsequent visits to this website. They make it possible to save your preferred language, your acceptance of cookies, and your participation in any satisfaction surveys the INFPC may propose on its website.
Cookies of this type are used in the personal workspace; they make it possible to know whether the user has been authenticated or not.
Cookies of this type are generated by Google Analytics to distinguish between a user's successive sessions, and by Hotjar to gain a better understanding of our users' needs and optimise user experience on our website. They allow us, for example, to understand the amount of time spent on any one page, links clicked on, and more generally browsing habits, etc., thereby enabling us to improve our service.
The lifelong-learning.lu website provides you with a tool that allows you to manage cookies according to their type. The choices you make using this tool will only be valid when you are browsing the lifelong-learning.lu website.
You can use our cookie preference management tool to manage your cookie settings.
You can configure your browser software so that cookies are stored in your Terminal or refused, either systematically for all websites or depending on the issuer (specific sites).
You also have the possibility of configuring your browser software so that you are asked to either accept or refuse the cookies you are offered each time, before any cookies can be left on your Terminal.
Configuration depends on which browser you use.
