Express your cookie preferences

There are multiple ways for you to manage your preferences:

• Express your choices via the cookie manager
  Docaposte Institute has set up a cookie manager tool that can be accessed via the ‘customise’ link on the information banner – this is displayed when you first connect to the Docaposte Institute website. It is a simple tool that allows you to adjust the placement of cookies by category: required cookies, social media cookies, ad selection cookies, etc. Docaposte Institute does not accept cookies from other sites. If our users choose not to respond to the information banner, or not change cookie placement settings before using our website, we will assume that they have refused by default. Required cookies are cookies that do not need consent and are authorised automatically. All cookies that do not fall into this category will be subject to your prior consent before being activated. If you set your browser so that all cookies are systematically refused, the refusal of required cookies may worsen your experience and therefore the service that we provide.
  The preferences you express using this tool will only apply to your browsing experience on the Docaposte Institute website.
