What Happens When You Visit L’Équipe’s Website

Have you ever wondered what those pop-up messages about "cookies" mean when you open a sports website? Let’s break it down like you’re five years old!

What Do You Get by Subscribing?

When you become a paid subscriber to L’Équipe (a French sports news site), here is what you unlock:

• You get access to the go-to reference source for sports news.
• This means you can read special stuff that free visitors cannot see.

How Can You Use the Site for Free?

If you don’t want to pay, you can still use most of the website without spending money:

• You can accept cookies and access L’Équipe for free.
• But remember: free access does not include the exclusive subscriber-only content.

What Are Cookies and Why Do They Matter?

L’Équipe, the companies in its group, and their 278 partners use small tracking tools called cookies (or tracers). Think of them like tiny notes saved on your device.

These tools help them:

• Store info on your phone or computer
• Look at personal details about you
• Show ads made just for you based on:
  • What you browse
  • Your profile info
  • Where you live
• Change articles to match your interests
• Count how many people visit the site
• Let you share things on social media

Important: To use the site for free (except subscriber-only content), you MUST accept the personalized ad trackers from L’Équipe and other partners. If you say no, your browsing and site features will be limited.

How to Control Your Choices

You are in charge of your settings! Here is how:

1. Look for the menu called "paramétrer mon consentement" (which means "set my consent").
2. Click it anytime you want.
3. Change your mind about cookies whenever you like.
4. Know that your choices only apply to L’Équipe’s own websites.
