Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically includes the domain of the website that created it, a value (frequently a unique code) and an expiration time. Cookies lack the ability to access other information on your device and do not constitute executable software.

Reine Fondange uses cookies to keep the website secure and functional, to remember the choices you make, to understand which pages are useful, and - where you have agreed - to measure the performance of our marketing. Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you open the site because the site cannot work without them. All other categories are only activated after you give consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies

These ensure the website functions properly: they preserve your login status across different pages, distribute user load among multiple servers, guard input fields from robotic attacks and retain the cookie preferences you have previously selected. They do not create a personal profile about you and cannot be disabled via our consent interface, as disabling them would cause essential capabilities like user authentication to stop functioning.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These assist us in tracking page visits, identifying which content gets accessed, measuring time spent and noting where problems arise. The data presented is combined from many users: it shows us whether a page has high traffic or slow performance, not your personal details. We apply this information to resolve issues and reorganize the website layout.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies persist through their scheduled removal date or until you manually remove them; on this website their periods span anywhere from several days to approximately twenty-four months, contingent on their role. The specific removal date for any given cookie is always viewable through your browser's cookie administration panel.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Some cookies are installed by external companies working in partnership with us, including firms specializing in site usage tracking, network acceleration, safeguarding against fraud or tracking promotional performance. These external firms are able to access their own cookies when you browse other websites utilizing the same solutions. We are not responsible for the contents of external-party cookies; their application of collected information falls under their own terms of service and data handling policies.

Where an external-party cookie is not essential for basic operation, it gets installed only following your approval via the consent interface. For a current roster of the external firms currently active, reach out to our support staff and we will furnish current documentation.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Preventing essential cookies from loading will cause certain website features to fail: login sessions may end, form submission may become impossible or security processes may be interrupted. Preventing preference cookies stops options like interface language from being saved. Preventing usage-tracking or advertising cookies will not impact how the website operates - you will merely be excluded from our usage counts and promotional effectiveness data.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
