1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. It allows the site to remember information about your browsing (preferences, session identifiers, etc.) to make your future visits easier and the site more functional.

3. Third-party cookies

Only if you click “Accept” in the banner, CVpass uses advertising cookies from Google Ads and Meta (Facebook, Instagram). They measure how well our ads perform and show CVpass ads to people who have already visited the site. If you reject, none of these cookies are set and the Meta pixel is not loaded; Google may only receive anonymous signals, without cookies or identifiers, to estimate overall sales from its ads.

During payment, Stripe may set security cookies on its own payment page (checkout.stripe.com) — these cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

5. Legal basis

Strictly necessary cookies

Exempt from consent under article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés, transposing the ePrivacy Directive), as they are essential to providing the service expressly requested by the user.

Analytics cookies (PostHog)

Set on the basis of legitimate interest, as the data is strictly anonymised and does not allow the user to be identified, in line with recommendations from the CNIL (France's data protection authority) on audience measurement solutions exempt from consent.
