Cookies and tracking
Essential cookies
Required for the website to function. These cannot be switched off.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which content is useful. This records visits, pages viewed, and general geographic region. IP addresses are anonymized. We do not use it to identify individuals.
You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Affiliate cookies
When you click an affiliate link, the provider or its affiliate network — including Awin — may set a cookie to attribute the referral. These cookies are set by those third parties and governed by their own privacy policies. They typically expire after a set period.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
Third parties who process data
- Google Analytics — traffic analytics (privacy policy)
- Google Search Console — search performance data
- Cloudflare — CDN, security, and DDoS protection (privacy policy)
- o2switch — web hosting (servers located in France)
- Affiliate networks and partners — including Awin, for referral attribution
We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
International transfers
Our servers are in France; our publisher is a US entity; some processors are US-based. Where data leaves the European Economic Area, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
How long we keep data
- Analytics data — up to 14 months
- Newsletter subscriptions — until you unsubscribe
- Contact messages — up to 24 months after our last exchange
Your rights
If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK (GDPR)
You have the right to access your data, correct it, request its deletion, restrict or object to processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.
If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA)
You have the right to know what personal information is collected and for what purpose, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.
To exercise any right, contact us through the contact page. We respond within 30 days.
Children
This site addresses business owners and is not directed at anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data security
The site is served over HTTPS with TLS encryption and protected by Cloudflare. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
