Last updated November 5th, 2019.

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://en.phundrak.com][en.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"). Are also included in this
|
||
any website on the domain of ~supran.fr~, such as [[https://blog.supran.fr][blog.supran.fr]]. It explains
|
||
what these technologies are and why I use them, as well as your rights to
|
||
control my use of them.
|
||
|
||
* What are cookies?
|
||
:PROPERTIES:
|
||
:CUSTOM_ID: What_are_cookies?-3686f85d
|
||
: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?-8ca1823b
|
||
: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.
|
||
|
||
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?-ae149a72
|
||
: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?-a78808c9
|
||
: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?-8ca1823b][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?-c5d10abf
|
||
: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?-5081cb19
|
||
: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?-9617011d
|
||
: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.

* Where can I get further information?
