2 - Processing of creation and transmission of a unique identifier
a) What does this treatment consist of?
When a visitor comes for the first time on a site linked to First-id, and once he has explicitly consented, his browser is redirected to the First-id portal which will determine if he already has a number of identification or if it is necessary to create one for him.
The number will then be transmitted to the publisher of the site consulted, which will generally store it in a cookie and use it for its own purposes of monitoring the navigation of Internet users.
This redirection is of the order of a few milliseconds, and therefore invisible to the visitor. This processing, carried out under the processing responsibility of the company First-id, is intended to create and transmit to site and application publishers a unique identifier allowing you to track your browsing.
b) What does the First-id identifier look like?
