Cookie Policy
Last updated: [DATE] ← À REMPLIR
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and store certain preferences or information.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.
This Cookie Policy applies to the website [SITE_URL] ← À REMPLIR (the "Platform"), operated by [COMPANY_NAME] ← À REMPLIR.
2. Legal Framework
The use of cookies on this Platform is governed by:
- EU Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as implemented in French law;
- French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés) and CNIL guidelines on cookies and trackers;
- GDPR (EU) 2016/679.
Under French and EU law, non-essential cookies require your prior consent before being placed on your device. Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without consent.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 — Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. No consent is required for these cookies.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
connect.sid |
[SITE_NAME] ← À REMPLIR | Maintains your login session after Steam authentication. Contains a signed session identifier — no personal data is stored in the cookie itself. | Session (deleted when browser is closed, or after 24 hours of inactivity) |
fraghub.hint |
[SITE_NAME] ← À REMPLIR | UI optimisation — prevents a brief login screen flash on page load for authenticated users. Contains no personal data (value is always 1). |
7 days |
These are the only cookies set by the Platform. Both are strictly necessary for the service to function correctly.
3.2 — Authentication Cookies (Steam)
When you log in via Steam OpenID, Valve's authentication service may place cookies on your device. These are set by Steam's own domain and are governed by Valve's Privacy Policy: https://store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam login cookies | Valve Corporation (steam.com) | Manages your Steam session during authentication | Varies |
These cookies are set by Steam's servers and are outside our direct control.
3.3 — Payment Provider Cookies (when applicable)
When you initiate a payment via PayPal or other payment providers, those services may place their own cookies:
| Provider | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | Payment processing, fraud prevention | https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full |
| [OTHER_PAYMENT_PROVIDER] ← À REMPLIR | Payment processing | [URL] ← À REMPLIR |
These cookies are set by third-party domains and are governed by those providers' own cookie policies.
4. Cookie Consent
Since the Platform only uses strictly necessary cookies (as listed in Section 3.1 above), explicit prior consent is not required under the ePrivacy Directive and CNIL guidelines. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement because they are essential for the service you have requested.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future (e.g. analytics, advertising, or preference cookies), we will update this policy and implement a consent mechanism before placing such cookies on your device.
5. Managing Cookies via Your Browser
You can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Here is how to do so in the most common browsers:
| Browser | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data |
| Mozilla Firefox | Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data |
| Safari | Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data |
| Opera | Settings > Advanced > Privacy & security > Site Settings |
Please note that blocking or deleting the connect.sid cookie will log you out of the Platform. Blocking the fraghub.hint cookie will cause a brief login screen flash on page load but will not affect functionality.
6. Data Processed via Cookies
Information collected through cookies may constitute personal data (e.g. session identifiers linked to your account). Such data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
