This Cookie Policy explains how I ("Lucien Cartier-Tilet", "me", and
|
|||
|
"my") use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you
|
|||
|
visit my websites [[https://phundrak.com][phundrak.com]], [[https://langue.phundrak.com][langue.phundrak.com]], [[https://labs.phundrak.com][labs.phundrak.com]]
|
|||
|
and others on the domain of ~phundrak.com~ ("Websites"). It explains
|
|||
|
what these technologies are and why I use them, as well as your rights
|
|||
|
to control my use of them.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* First, let me opt-out

I am the owner, developer, and webmaster of my Websites as well as the
|
|||
|
system administrator of all the servers running under the domain
|
|||
|
~phundrak.com~ and its subdomains. Currently, three of my public
|
|||
|
websites run on a server rented to OVH, ~mail.phundrak.com~,
|
|||
|
~bitwarden.phundrak.com~, and ~labs.phundrak.com~. All my other websites
|
|||
|
run on a server I privately own. All of my websites are protected by
|
|||
|
Cloudflare, and all are hosted in France.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* What are cookies?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: What_are_cookies
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or
|
|||
|
mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by
|
|||
|
website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more
|
|||
|
efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Lucien Cartier-Tilet)
|
|||
|
are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than
|
|||
|
the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party
|
|||
|
cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on
|
|||
|
or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and
|
|||
|
analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can
|
|||
|
recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question
|
|||
|
and also when it visits certain other websites.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Why do I use cookies?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: Why_do_I_use_cookies
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
I use first party cookies for two reasons. First of all, my first
|
|||
|
party cookies are required for technical reasons in order for my
|
|||
|
Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly
|
|||
|
necessary" cookies. For instance, it remembers which color theme you
|
|||
|
selected on my Websites that propose such as feature, or logins and
|
|||
|
other users settings on websites such as [[https://labs.phundrak.com][labs.phundrak.com]].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The second reason I use cookies are analytics and tracking. But don’t
|
|||
|
be worried, I am not using any intrusive user tracking here: I will
|
|||
|
only track you on my Websites and my Websites only, user data will not
|
|||
|
leave my servers, I will not sell them or share them in any way to
|
|||
|
anyone, be it a physical or moral person, and I have no way of knowing
|
|||
|
who you are. I just want to see your behavior on my websites in order
|
|||
|
to improve them. If you want any additional information, please head
|
|||
|
to [[https://matomo.org/][Matomo’s website]] to learn more about how tracking is done with
|
|||
|
their service, knowing that I self-host a Matomo instance and I do not
|
|||
|
use their own instance. Your privacy is protected as well as your
|
|||
|
data. As these websites are hosted in France, visitor log and profiles
|
|||
|
have been deactivated, and any data older than 25 months will be
|
|||
|
deleted (I actually set it to 740 days, or the equivalent of 24
|
|||
|
months). All IPs are anonymised, and any data collected by Matomo
|
|||
|
cannot be exported raw to any other service (I don’t export them at
|
|||
|
all anyway).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you still want to opt-out, you can head [[#opt_out][at the top of this
|
|||
|
document]].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you are worried about your privacy, rest assured that I do not have
|
|||
|
access myself to the cookies set by my Websites and thus they do not
|
|||
|
provide me any information about you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* How can I control cookies?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: How_can_I_control_cookies
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
By default, all my websites set the cookies they need to work
|
|||
|
properly. Essential website cookies are strictly necessary to provide
|
|||
|
you with services available through our Websites and to use some of
|
|||
|
its features, such as access to secure areas. If you wish to delete
|
|||
|
these cookies, you can do so from your browser’s settings. Since there
|
|||
|
are many different types of browsers that exist, there is not a single
|
|||
|
way to delete cookies, but you can look up how to do so with a quick
|
|||
|
search on your favorite search engine, such as DuckDuckGo, Qwant or
|
|||
|
Startpage (if cookies worry you, you should probably avoid Google).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
All cookies set by Matomo (my tracking service) can also be blocked by
|
|||
|
any good ad-blocker (although Matomo is unrelated to ads). I haven’t
|
|||
|
tested a lot myself, but I do know [[https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/][uBlock Origin]] blocks anything that
|
|||
|
could track you. That’s also the best ad-blocker I know of, and I
|
|||
|
highly recommend using it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: What_about_other_tracking_technologies,_like_web_beacons
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a
|
|||
|
website, such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or
|
|||
|
"clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique
|
|||
|
identifier that enable some websites owners to recognize when someone
|
|||
|
has visited their websites or opened an e-mail including them.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
However, I do not use them in any of my Websites. The only tracking
|
|||
|
technology I use are cookies is for analytics, [[#Why_do_I_use_cookies][as explained
|
|||
|
above]]. Matomo is an analytics service I self-host (i.e. this is a
|
|||
|
private instance), so the collected data are stored on my servers and
|
|||
|
my servers only, and Matomo has been built in order to protect your
|
|||
|
data and your anonymity. If you still want to be protected from this,
|
|||
|
you can block any cookie from the ~matomo.phundrak.com~ domain, and I
|
|||
|
won’t be able to track your activity on my websites anymore.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: Do_you_use_Flash_cookies_or_Local_Shared_Objects
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
Using Flash in ~$current_year~ is a very bad idea due to its security
|
|||
|
flaws. Therefore, Flash is not used on any of my Websites. And I do
|
|||
|
not use any Local Shared Objects.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Do you serve targeted advertising?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: Do_you_serve_targeted_advertising
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
Absolutely not, rest assured. I dislike advertisment as much as you do
|
|||
|
if not more.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
|
|||
|
:PROPERTIES:

|||
|
:CUSTOM_ID: How_often_will_you_update_this_Cookie_Policy
|
|||
|
:END:
|
|||
|
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect,
|
|||
|
for example, changes to the cookies I use or for other operational,
|
|||
|
legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie
|
|||
|
Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related
|

technologies.
