onglet here is tab, menu item etc NOT bookmark

Explanation:
and "dont il a fait l'objet" is just enjoyed, benefited from, was granted...special offers used... anything to that effect
Book mark only applies... to books, they would be tabs or items on a website

Explanation:

It all will depend on what is meant by the "promo".. If it's something that the client contributed to, my translation should be correct.If it's something the client consumed, it would be something different
