What cookies this site uses
Essential — always on. These keep the site working: remembering what's in your cart, carrying you through checkout, and remembering the cookie choice you make below. They can't be switched off, because the site can't function without them, and they don't track you across other sites.
Analytics — off until you say yes. Google Analytics 4 tells us which pages are actually read,
so we can improve the site. It sets cookies (typically named _ga and _ga_*) that are
retained for no longer than 13 months, in line with CNIL guidance. No analytics script or cookie loads until you
actively accept it — rejecting is exactly as easy as accepting, and nothing is pre-ticked.
Advertising — not used. This site doesn't run advertising or retargeting cookies.
Managing your choice
A banner asks for your preference on your first visit. You can accept all, reject all, or open Manage preferences to choose analytics individually — all three options carry equal weight. Your choice is stored for 6 months and applies across the site; after that, we ask again. You can change your mind at any time via Cookie settings in the footer, and you can always block or delete cookies through your browser's own settings.
Cookie-consent banner (copy, referenced from §0)
Banner: "We use cookies to see how this site is used. Analytics only load if you say yes — saying no is exactly as easy." Buttons: Accept all · Reject all · Manage preferences.
Preferences dialog (title: Cookie preferences): "Essential cookies keep the cart, checkout and this preference itself working, and can't be switched off. Analytics (Google Analytics 4) is optional and stays off until you turn it on." Toggle 1 (always on, disabled): Essential. Toggle 2 (off by default): Analytics (Google Analytics 4). Buttons: Save preferences · Accept all.
Why analytics is gated this way
Under French and EU law (the CNIL's guidance implementing the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR), a cookie that isn't strictly necessary for the site to function needs your prior, freely-given consent — not a pre-ticked box, and not a "continue browsing = consent" assumption. That's why Google Analytics 4 only loads, and only sets a cookie, after you've actively clicked Accept all or turned Analytics on in preferences.
