Utiq works with partner telecom operators (see the list here ) who help make the technology work.
Utiq technology can only be activated if you are using a compatible internet connection* provided by a telecom operator listed below, in the countries where our technology is available.
Compatible internet connection: In some countries where we operate, Utiq technology can only be activated on mobile connections, while in other countries it also works on home connections (e.g., Wi-Fi).
Please find here the list of compatible internet connections by country and by partner telecom operators.
This technology is disabled by default. It can only be activated if you consent and are using a compatible internet connection provided by one of our partner telecom operators.
We, Groupe Nice-Matin and our advertising agency 366 (the joint data controllers) use Utiq technology on our websites and the French regional daily press sites operated by companies in the 366 group. When you consent to its activation, Utiq provides us with marketing identifiers. They help us understand your browsing habits and link your visits to our websites (only those for which you consent to the use of Utiq technology). We use them for our digital activities, such as personalizing advertising or content and analytics on our websites using Utiq technology and subject to your consent. These identifiers are also shared with our advertising platforms when necessary for our marketing and analytics activities.
If you enable Utiq technology on our websites (list available on the “Manage Utiq” pages of each of our websites), we may use it to understand your browsing habits on these sites (those for which you have given your consent).
Utiq technology is linked to the internet connection.
This means that everyone using the same connection and having consented will be assigned the same identifier. In general:
- For a household connection (e.g. Wi-Fi), personalization will be based on the browsing of household members who have consented.
- For a mobile connection , personalization will be based solely on the mobile owner’s browsing.
We (Nice-Matin Group) and our advertising agency 366 act as joint controllers with Utiq for certain processing steps. Under our joint controller agreement:

- Although you may exercise your rights with respect to each of the data controllers, Utiq remains the primary point of contact for any questions or requests you may have in relation to Utiq technology.
You can revoke Utiq consents* in various ways:
- On the consenthub : To revoke all Utiq consents across all websites using Utiq technology, go to the Utiq portal (“ consenthub ”).
- On partner websites : where you can revoke each Utiq consent on the websites where you have given it, by visiting the “Manage Utiq” page accessible at the bottom of each website.
Utiq technology relies on your internet connection. Therefore, if you use other connections, you will need to manage consents for each connection separately.
Alternatively, you can always delete your browsing history and data through your browser settings. This will remove all your Utiq consents from your browser. All your data stored in the Utiq platform will also be deleted within the period indicated in the Utiq Privacy Policy .
