What we set, and why
No hidden trackers, no data resale. A few cookies to keep the site running and understand how you browse it — here's which ones, for how long, and how to stay in control.

What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file the site stores in your browser. It lets us remember something from one page to the next — your language, for instance — or measure, in aggregate, how the site is used.
We distinguish strictly necessary cookies (essential to the site working, set without consent) from audience-measurement cookies (only set if you accept them).
The cookies we use
The list is short, and we keep it that way.
| Cookie | What it does | Lifetime | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| atelicode_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined audience measurement, so we don't ask again on every visit. | 180 days | Strictly necessary |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Stores your chosen language (French or English) so we show the site in the right one. | 1 year | Strictly necessary |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4: anonymised audience measurement (page views, journeys) to improve the site. Only set after you accept. | 13 months | Audience measurement |
Your consent, off by default
When you arrive, audience measurement is off. We use Google's “Consent Mode v2”: everything stays on “denied” until you choose. No measurement cookie is set before you agree.
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 turns on and sets its cookies. If you decline, nothing is set for measurement — only the strictly necessary cookies remain.
Taking back control
Your choice is kept for 180 days. To change it, delete the “atelicode_consent” cookie in your browser settings: the banner will reappear on your next visit and you can decide again.
You can also block or clear cookies directly from your browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all offer this in their privacy settings.
The third party involved
Audience measurement relies on Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager. Google acts as a processor and data is handled in aggregate. On our side, no data is sold or used for advertising.
