Cookie policy
Cookies and similar technologies used by vidimus.eu and the Vidimus platform, with their purpose, retention, and the consent mechanism, per Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy), Article 82 of the French Loi Informatique et Libertés, and CNIL guidance of 17 September 2020 (deliberation 2020-091).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel tags; we use the term "cookies" throughout this page to cover all of them. They allow a site to remember information about your visit — for example, that you are signed in — or to measure how the site is used.
Categories we use
Vidimus uses a deliberately narrow set of cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, behavioural advertising trackers, or cross-site fingerprinting.
- Strictly necessary — required for the website or the platform to function. Exempt from consent under Article 82 LIL and CNIL guidance.
- Authentication and session cookies (Supabase Auth) — used to keep you signed in and to enforce tenant isolation. Retained until the session expires or you sign out.
- CSRF and request-integrity tokens — used to prevent cross-site request forgery. Retained for the duration of the session.
- Load-balancing cookies set by the hosting layer (Vercel) — retained for the visit.
- Preferences — only when you actively change a setting (e.g., a collapsed sidebar state stored client-side). No consent required where the preference is set on your explicit action.
- Audience measurement — currently disabled by default. If we later enable privacy-respecting analytics (e.g., a self-hosted Plausible instance with anonymised IPs and no cross-site identifiers), the deployment will satisfy the CNIL consent-exemption criteria from the 17 September 2020 guidance; otherwise consent will be requested before any analytics cookie is set.
- Advertising / marketing — none.
Consent
For cookies that are not strictly necessary, consent is collected before any cookie is placed, separately for each purpose, in a refusal-as-easy-as-acceptance pattern. The consent choice is stored for up to 6 months, after which we ask again, in line with CNIL recommendation (deliberation 2020-092).
You can change your choices at any time from the cookie preference link in the footer.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Each major browser provides instructions for blocking or deleting cookies (Settings → Privacy & Security on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge). Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in or using the platform.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we add or remove cookies. The "last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. If a change affects cookies you have already consented to, we will request consent again.
