Cookie policy

This site sets two cookies, and there is no third. This document says which, what they are for, and how to change your answer.

The two cookies

site-consent — necessary. It holds the answer you gave to the cookie notice, for a year, so that the question is asked once rather than on every page. It contains two words and the number of the question you were asked. It is set without being offered as a choice, because refusing to record it would be refusing to record your refusal.

site-locale — preferences. It holds the language of the page you are reading, for a year, so that this site opens in that language next time. It is written only if you accepted. If you refuse, it is not written, and one left by an earlier visit is erased in the same gesture.

There is no analytics category, because there is nothing to put in one, and there will never be an advertising category.

What sets no cookie at all

• The visit counter. Visits are counted page by page, with no cookie, no IP address and no identifier: nothing joins one page to the next, or one visit to the one before.
• The question asked of the public assistant on the home page. It is kept nowhere and it leaves nothing on your machine.
• The public forms. What you write in them goes out by email to the right desk; the counter that keeps them from being flooded holds a fingerprint of your address, the day and a salt of this deployment's own, erased the next day.

The product

Signing in to the product sets a session cookie, necessary in the strict sense: without it, the next page would no longer know who you are. It is not one of this site's cookies and the notice does not govern it — signing in is not something a banner asks permission for.

Changing your answer

The Cookie preferences button at the foot of every page asks the question again. Your answer stands for a year, and you may change it as often as you like.

Clearing this site's cookies from your browser does the same thing: the notice comes back on the next visit, because the answer it was looking for is no longer there.

The day a category is added, the number of the question changes and the question is asked again: an answer given to the old question never stands for a new one.
