Cookie policy

1. What this is about

A cookie is a small file the site places in your browser; local storage (localStorage) is a similar space, read only by the site that wrote it. Etkivent uses them to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and record your cookie choice. No advertising cookies are set, and no data is sold.

2. Strictly necessary cookies and storage

Set without consent, because the service cannot work without them.

better-auth.session_token — session cookie: keeps you signed in. Duration: 7 days, extended on each visit; removed on sign-out.

NEXT_LOCALE — language cookie: remembers the language you chose (French or English). Duration: the browser session.

theme — local storage: your light or dark theme choice. Duration: until you change it.

etkivent-consent — local storage: your cookie choice (version, date, categories). Duration: 6 months.

etkivent-sidebar-collapsed, etkivent-pwa-install-dismissed-at — local storage: sidebar state and app-install reminder, in the signed-in area. Duration: until you change them.

Sign-up drafts — local storage, while you complete the sign-up form, removed when it is submitted.

3. Categories subject to your consent

Audience measurement: anonymized traffic statistics. No tool is active today; if we add one, it will only load after your consent.

Social media and third-party content: embedded content (videos, posts) that may set its own cookies. No such content is embedded today; the Instagram and TikTok links in the footer are plain links, with no third-party script.

Error tracking (Sentry) sets no cookie and does not track you across sites: it is part of the service's security and is not subject to consent.

4. Managing your choice

The banner is shown on your first visit: "Accept all", "Refuse all" or "Customise" by category. Refusing degrades nothing: the service works fully with the necessary cookies alone.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the "Manage cookies" link in the footer. You can also delete cookies and local storage from your browser settings; you will then be signed out and the banner will return.

5. Duration and updates

Your choice is kept for 6 months, after which the banner is shown again, in line with CNIL recommendations. It is also shown again if the purposes change (for example, adding an audience measurement tool). The list above is kept up to date with every change to the service; the date at the top of the page is authoritative.
