It concerns oligomer compounds of D-glucuronic acid or D-glucuronate with a β (1-4) sequence (or oligoglucuronans) containing a degree of acetyla- tion specifically between 8.7±0.5 and 9.2±0.5% by weight of 0-CO-CH 3 group compared to the weight of glucuronic acid and with a degree of polymerisation (DP) of 18-19 ±2. The oligomer compounds according to the present invention are intended to stimulate the elasticity of the dermis and epidermis although they also act to increase dermo-epidermal cohesion in order to com bat skin ageing, lines, wrinkles, visible and/or tactile skin discontinuities, loss of firmness, elasticity and tone and to combat skin tissue deformability. The invention also concerns a cosmetic composition containing at least one compound as recited according to the present invention. COSMETIC COMPOSITION CONTAINING ACETYLATED OLIGOGLUCURONANS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of cosmetic and dermopharmaceutical compositions. It applies typically, but not exclusively, to the field of cosmetics and dermopharmacy. BACKGROUND ART Skin deformability is a reflection of its vitality. A skin with elasticity is one that, despite the permanent malleability of the skin tissue, returns to its initial appearance after the deformation forces stop. Over time, however, skin becomes marked and tired. It is continually subjected to a large number of mechanical forces: stretching, yawning, smiling, to which the skin tissue responds more or less well depending on the persons and their age. Skin tissue consist of a superficial layer, the epidermis, and deeper layers, the dermis and hypodermis, each of which has specific properties allowing the whole skin to respond and adapt to its environmental conditions. The dermis acts as the support for the epidermis. It is mostly formed from fibroblasts and an extracellular matrix, primarily containing elastin and collagen. The epidermis consists of three types of cells, the most important of which are the keratinocytes, and forms the external layer, playing a fundamental role in protection and maintaining good trophicity. Keratinocytes synthesise hyaluronic acid which plays an essential role in elasticity, youthfulness and tone of the skin. Between the basal cells of the epidermis and the more superficial layers of the dermis the skin contains the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ). The DEJ plays a very important role, particularly mechanically, as it allows the epidermis to anchor firmly to the dermis, i.e. the keratinocytes to the DEJ proteins. During skin ageing the DEJ flattens and the adhering properties of the epidermis are reduced, resulting in dermo-epidermal disorganisation. Document WO 93/18174 discloses a polymer compound of D-glucuronic acid with a β (1-4) sequence in which each glucuronic acid cycle contains a maximum of 33% by weight of the O-CO- CH3 group compared to the weight of said glucuronic acid cycle, said polymer being in particular directed to the cosmetic industry, particularly as a thickening, texturing, moisturising and/or stabilising agent. This document, however, does not propose oligosaccharides for improving the elasticity of the skin. Publication FR2781673 discloses also D-glucuronide oligosaccharides with a β (1-4) sequence in which each glucuronic acid cycle contains a maximum of 33% by weight of O-CO-CH3 group compared to the weight of said glucuronic acid cycle, said substances being intended to stimulate the production of cytokine. This document however does not suggest oligosaccharides intended to improve the elasticity of the skin. The technical problem to be solved through the present invention is to propose a compound intended to combat the reduction in the elastic properties of the skin, at the same time increasing dermo- epidermal cohesion and thereby combating deformability of the skin tissue, particularly by offering skin that is more supple, less marked and tired, better toned, firmer and without signs of aging such as wrinkles and lines. Surprisingly, the inventors of the present invention have discovered that oligomers of D-glucuronic acid with a β (1-4) sequence having a degree of acetylation specifically between 8.7±0.5% and 9.2±0.5% by weight of 0-CO-CH 3 group/weight of glucuronic acid and exhibiting a degree of polymerisation of 18-19 ±2, provide improvement of at least one of the symptoms listed above. The present invention is therefore directed to oligomer compounds of D-glucuronic acid or D- glucuronate with a β (1-4) sequence (or oligoglucuronans) exhibiting a degree of acetylation specifically between 8.7±0.5 and 9.2±0.5% by weight of 0-CO-CH 3 group with regard to the weight of glucuronic acid and exhibiting a degree of polymerisation (DP) of 18-19 ±2. According to another aspect, the invention is directed to a cosmetic composition containing at least one oligomer compound of D-glucuronic acid or D-glucuronate with a β (1-4) sequence exhibiting a degree of acetylation of between 8.7±0.5 and 9.2±0.5% by weight OfO-CO-CH 3 group compared to the weight of glucuronic acid and a degree of polymerisation (DP) of 18-19 ±2. Another object of the invention is the cosmetic use of these compounds. Therefore the object of the present invention is an oligomer compound of D-glucuronic acid with a β (1-4) sequence, of formula (I): characterised in that each glucuronic acid cycle exhibits a degree of acetylation specifically between 8.7±0.5 and 9.2±0.5% by weight OfO-CO-CH 3 group compared to the weight of the glucuronic acid cycle and has a degree of polymerisation (DP) of 18-19 ±2. The degree of polymerisation of 18-19 represents a molecular weight (Mw) of 3600 to 3800 Daltons (Da) or where n = 15-16. More specifically, the oligoglucuronans of the present invention are selected from: - oligomers of D-glucuronic acid with a β(l-4) sequence of formula (I) in which the acetyloxy group is located in position 2 and/or in position 3 of the glucuronic acid cycle to form an ester and/or in position 6 of the glucuronic acid cycle to form a mixed anhydride, each glucuronic acid cycle containing between 8.7±0.5 and 9.2±0.5% by weight OfO-CO-CH 3 groups compared to the weight of said glucuronic acid cycle and a degree of polymerisation of between 18 and 19 ±2 ; preferably acetylation occurs at the OH groups of the carbons in position 2 and/or 3; - oligomers of D-glucuronic acid with a β (1-4) sequence of formula (I) in which (i) the acetyloxy group is located in position 2 and/or in position 3 and/or in position 6 of the glucuronic acid cycle, each glucuronic acid cycle containing between 8.7±0.5 and 9.2±0.5% by weight of 0-CO-CH 3 groups compared to the weight of said glucuronic acid cycle and a degree of polymerisation of between 18-19 ±2, (ii) the OH group of at least one carboxylic acid COOH group is replaced by an C1-C22 alkoxy group to produce an C1-C22 estert, or by an C1-C22 amine group to produce a C1-C22 amide, or by an Cl- C22 alkyl group to produce a C1-C22 ketone; - oligomers of D-glucuronic acid with a β (1-4) sequence of formula (I) in which (i) the acetyloxy group is located in position 2 and/or in position 3 and/or in position
