This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, what we use them for, and how you can manage them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. It lets the site recognize you on subsequent visits, remember your preferences (e.g., preferred language), and operate certain features properly. Cookies do not contain executable programs and cannot access your files.
2. Categories of Cookies Used
Our site only uses cookies strictly necessary for operation. We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking parts of the site. • Session: short-lived authentication token when you log into the administrative interface • Anti-CSRF: token protecting form submissions • Performance: browser-level load balancing, if applicable
4. Preference Storage
We use your browser's localStorage (not a cookie) to remember your chosen language (English or French). This data stays on your device and is never sent to our server.
5. Analytics and Measurement
Currently, we do not use any analytics tool (Google Analytics, Matomo, etc.). If we add one in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested if required by law.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Our donation page loads the PayPal SDK, which may set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed by PayPal's privacy policy. Similarly, YouTube video embeds on some pages may set cookies if you interact with the player.
