Website visit tracking technologies
As is standard practice on many corporate websites, the Somfy websites use "cookies" and other technologies to help us understand which parts of the Somfy websites are the most popular and the preferences of users of Somfy websites, as well as to facilitate navigation throughout the Somfy websites. We may also use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on the Somfy websites, to improve their functionality and usability as well as to improve the effectiveness of Somfy's communications with its customers. We may also use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience to you during your interactions with the Somfy websites.


A cookie is a unique alphanumeric identifier that websites use to help identify the number of unique visitors to a website, whether or not those visitors are repeat visitors, and the source of the visits. Cookies cannot be executed as code or used to deliver a virus and thus pose no threat to you. Servers and sites other than the one placing the cookie on your hard drive cannot read the cookie, and no personal information can be gathered by other servers from the cookie. If you prefer not to enable cookies or to disable them, you may do so through your web browser's security settings. Please note that certain features of the Somfy websites may not be available once cookies have been disabled.


Like most websites, the Somfy websites gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol ("IP") addresses, browser type, operating system, internet service provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, date/time stamp of access, and clickstream data. When you visit the Somfy websites, the server automatically logs your IP address, the time and duration of your visit, and the time and duration spent on the pages of the Somfy websites which you view. If you arrive at the Somfy websites by clicking a paid advertisement or a link in an e-mail, then the server will capture information that tracks your visit from that link. If you arrive at the Somfy websites by clicking on a non-paid source, such as a search engine result or link on another website, the server may capture information that tracks your visit from that source, to the extent available. We use this information to analyse trends, to administer the Somfy websites, to track users' movements around the Somfy websites and to gather demographic information about users of Somfy websites as a whole. We may use the information collected to market directly to you with your consent.


In some of our e-mail messages we use a "click-through URL" linked to content on the Somfy websites. When you click one of these URLS, it passes information through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked, simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the e-mails sent.

We additionally uses pixel tags, which are tiny invisible graphic images, to tell us what parts of the Somfy websites users have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches users perform on the Somfy websites. Pixel tags may be used as part of our use of third party site statistics trackers and analysers which we employ to track and analyse the data collected from the Somfy websites. Pixel tags also enable us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to assure that we are only sending messages that are of interest to users of Somfy websites and our customers. We store all of this information in a secure database on our web server.
