# Cookie Policy

## 8) What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) that enables, for example, the proper functioning of the site, the storage of your preferences, or audience measurement.

## 9) Consent management (cookie banner)
Cookies **that are not strictly necessary** (e.g., audience measurement) are placed **only after your consent**.

The site will use a consent module (such as **Complianz**) allowing you to:
– accept/refuse cookie categories,
– change your choice at any time.

## 10) Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the technical operation of the site (e.g., security, essential preferences, storing your consent choice, correct display).
They do not require consent, but are described here for transparency.

## 11) Audience measurement cookies – Google Analytics 4
If you accept statistics cookies, we use **Google Analytics 4** to obtain traffic statistics (pages viewed, interactions, site performance).

– Analytics property: **G-WQMBZ4922B**
– No Google Tag Manager at this stage.

The Analytics cookies used may include (depending on configuration):
– `_ga`
– `_ga_<id>`

**Important:** the actual cookie lifespan may vary depending on browsers and their limitations.

## 12) Google Maps (embedded map)
The site contains an embedded **Google Maps** map.
Loading Google Maps may result in data processing (e.g., IP address, browser settings) and the use of cookies/trackers by Google.

Compliance recommendation:
– display a **placeholder** (blocked map) until you have accepted the loading of this service,
– activate the map only after consent via the cookie module.

## 13) Transfers outside the EEA (Google)
Certain Google services may involve data transfers outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, these transfers are based on mechanisms recognised under European law (e.g., an adequacy decision, or standard contractual clauses, depending on the service and the situation).

## 14) How to manage or delete cookies?
You can:
– change your choice via the cookie banner (if enabled),
– or manage cookies in your browser settings (deletion, blocking, alerts).
Refusing non-essential cookies does not prevent access to the site.

## 15) Changes
We may update this policy (addition of services, site changes). The update date is shown at the top of the page.
