Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how WEBSTART LLC (Webstart) uses them on wstart.fr, and how you can manage your choices. It complements our privacy policy, which describes how we process personal data.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar tools (pixels, local storage, identifiers) may serve comparable purposes. They help operate the site, measure traffic, or display relevant content.
Who places cookies?
Cookies may be set by Webstart (first-party) or by partners (third-party) when we embed their services (analytics, advertising, players, or libraries).
Categories of cookies we use
1. Strictly necessary
Required for core features: page display, security, load balancing, language preference when multiple languages are offered (e.g. WPML), and consent management if a banner is used. Some features may not work without them.
2. Audience measurement & analytics
We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-HQHYGMDKVC via Google Tag) to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, duration, traffic sources, device type). Data is generally processed in aggregated or pseudonymous form. Retention depends on Google’s settings (often up to 13 months for analytics-type data, in line with common EU practice).
3. Advertising & conversion measurement
We may use Google Ads (tag associated with AW-10858642954) to measure conversions (for example after a contact form) and, where applicable, run advertising campaigns. These technologies may relate to your browsing and require consent where the law demands it.
4. Third-party content & CDNs
To display certain interactive content (e.g. Spline) or load assets from CDNs (jQuery, Swiper, GSAP, fonts, etc.), your browser exchanges technical data with those domains. This is not always “cookies” in the narrow sense, depending on the provider.
Legal bases
Strictly necessary cookies may rely on legitimate interest in providing a secure, multilingual service. For analytics, advertising, and non-essential personalisation we rely on your consent (banner or equivalent), in line with the GDPR and ePrivacy rules.
How to refuse or delete cookies
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
- Use ad platform tools where available (e.g. Google ad personalisation settings).
- If the site offers a consent management module, you can change your choices at any time.
Refusing some cookies may limit certain features.
Retention
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period. Exact durations can be viewed in your browser’s developer tools.
Changes
We may update this policy when the site, tools, or regulations change. The current version is always published on this page.
