3. Cookie Consent
In accordance with the ePrivacy Directive and CNIL guidelines, we request your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. When you first visit the Service, a consent banner (powered by Google Funding Choices) will appear, allowing you to:
- Accept advertising and analytics cookies (personalized ads, usage analytics)
- Refuse advertising and analytics cookies (non-personalized ads only, no analytics)
- Manage your preferences in detail
You can change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will re-trigger the consent banner.
4. Third-Party Cookies
If you use Google Sign-In, Google may set cookies on your device as part of the authentication process. These cookies are governed by Google's Cookie Policy.
5. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, the Service uses browser localStorage to store user preferences (such as theme, language, and tour completion status). This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers unless explicitly synced as part of the Service features.
6. Managing Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling the session cookie will prevent you from using the Service while logged in, and disabling advertising cookies will result in non-personalized ads being shown.
