This Cookie Policy explains how SARL M.C. DAVIDIAN ("MC Davidian", "we", "our"), 84 rue Denis Papin – ZAC du Cerceron – 83700 Saint-Raphaël – France, uses cookies and similar technologies on mcdavidian.com. It complements our Legal Notice.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (pixels, identifiers stored in your browser) are also referred to here as "cookies". They allow the site to work properly, remember your choices, measure how the site is used and, only with your consent, measure the performance of our advertising.
2. Your consent
When you first visit our site, a consent banner lets you accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot work without them. All other cookies (analytics and advertising) are only set once you have given your consent. Rejecting them does not prevent you from browsing or ordering.

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our website (clicks, scrolling, pages viewed) so we can improve it. Text typed in forms is masked.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Clarity runs only if you accept analytics cookies.
Elsewhere, Clarity may record your visit without setting any cookies until you make a choice in the cookie banner. If you accept, Clarity sets its cookies; if you decline, Clarity stops recording.
