PHPSESSID is required for the website to function. It maintains your session as you navigate between pages. This cookie is strictly necessary and does not require consent.
Functional cookies remember your preferences (language choice, cookie consent) to improve your experience. They do not track you across websites and do not contain personal identifiers.
If you accept cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. This data is aggregated and anonymised. We do not use it to identify individuals. You can opt out at any time by clicking "Decline" in the cookie banner or by clearing your browser cookies.
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner shown when you first visit the site. To change your preference, clear your browser's localStorage and cookies to reset the consent choice. You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time.
Stripe, our payment processor, may set cookies when you proceed to the Stripe-hosted checkout page. These cookies are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie policy at stripe.com/privacy.
This cookie policy is written in compliance with the French Data Protection Act and GDPR. The legal basis for analytics cookies is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
