Data we process
Depending on the services you use, we process only the data that is necessary:
- contact form: name, email address, subject, message, language and sending date;
- newsletter: email address, language, confirmation status and consent or unsubscribe dates;
- security: a non-reversible fingerprint of the network address, temporarily used to limit abuse;
- internal audience measurement: page, language, action type and a daily pseudonymous identifier. The “Do Not Track” signal is respected.
Purposes
Data is used to answer requests, manage confirmed subscriptions, protect the website and understand in aggregate which content is useful. It is not sold or used for targeted advertising.
Consent and choice
Newsletter registration relies on your consent and requires email confirmation. You may unsubscribe using the link provided in communications. The contact form sends the information you choose to provide.
External services
Videos and the Facebook feed are provided by external platforms. They load only after an explicit action from you. The relevant platform’s rules may apply when you activate them.
Cookies and browser storage
The public website uses no advertising cookie. Your browser may remember the selected text size and whether the introduction animation has been viewed. The administration area uses a secure session cookie and may temporarily keep a local draft copy to prevent loss of work.
