Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you browse a website.

This policy also covers similar storage, including localStorage for cookie choices and language, and sessionStorage for a technical reload marker.

2. Types of cookies used

Functional storage: your consent choice (cookie-consent), language (i18nextLng) and a temporary marker preventing repeated reloads (vite-chunk-reload-once). These are not used for audience measurement.

Optional audience measurement: Google Analytics _ga and _ga_* cookies, activated only after acceptance.

Optional anti-bot verification: reCAPTCHA may read or set Google trackers, including _GRECAPTCHA. It requires specific permission on the form, independently of your Analytics choice.

3. Purposes

Functional storage remembers preferences and supports the website. reCAPTCHA helps limit automated submissions and has its own consent choice; direct email contact remains available.

Statistics help understand visits and improve pages. The website does not load Analytics before acceptance, sends no cookieless measurements after refusal and disables its advertising features in its configuration.

4. Retention period

Your analytics acceptance or refusal is remembered for no more than six months. You are asked again when it expires. Legacy choices without a date are also requested again. If browser storage is unavailable, the choice lasts only for the open page.

The _ga and _ga_* cookies set by this site are limited to the time remaining before your choice expires, without automatic renewal on each visit. On Google Analytics servers, user data and event data retention are set to 2 months, without resetting retention on new user activity. Deletion follows Google’s monthly cycle. Standard aggregated reports are not subject to this retention period.

reCAPTCHA permission is not saved for future submissions. The verification frame is removed after the response or after a maximum of 20 seconds. This does not delete third-party cookies already set by Google: their lifetime and deletion depend on Google and your browser settings.

The language preference stays in localStorage until you or your browser clear it. The reload marker is removed after a successful load or when the tab’s session ends.

5. Manage your consent

Use “Manage my cookies” to change your Analytics choice. Withdrawal disables measurement, deletes accessible Analytics cookies on this domain and reloads the page to stop the loaded script. It does not retroactively delete data already sent. For reCAPTCHA, leave the form checkbox unchecked and use the email link. Your browser settings also allow you to delete third-party cookies.

6. Policy updates

This policy may be updated according to legal or technical changes.
