1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how FRUTEAU ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

FRUTEAU is registered in France, with its principal office at 13 Av. Frédéric Mistral, 13460 Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France. Our website serves participants throughout Canada for educational coaching and personal development programs.

By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time as described below.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to gather reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, FRUTEAU) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, interactive content, and advertising.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

4. How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of your screen. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through that banner.

4.1 Cookie Banner

Our cookie banner allows you to accept or decline cookies when you first visit the website. Your preference is stored locally and applied on subsequent visits. You can reset your cookie preferences by clearing your browser's local storage.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to delete specific cookies. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in commonly used browsers:

4.3 Opt-Out of Analytics

5. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website, including:

• Local Storage: We use the browser's local storage feature to store your cookie consent preference. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but allows for larger amounts of data to be stored and does not expire automatically.
• Session Storage: We use session storage for temporary data management (such as form submission flow). Session storage data is cleared when the browser tab or window is closed.
• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): These are tiny, transparent graphics that may be placed on web pages or in emails to track user behavior and measure campaign effectiveness. We may use these in conjunction with cookies for analytics purposes.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website may be placed by third-party service providers. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services that may be active on our website.

7. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies have different retention periods depending on their purpose:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the website.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across visits.

The specific retention period for each cookie depends on its function. Strictly necessary cookies typically last for the duration of your browsing session, while preference cookies may persist for longer periods (e.g., up to 12 months).

8. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés), as well as the ePrivacy Directive and the guidelines issued by the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), the legal basis for using cookies on our website depends on the type of cookie:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These do not require your consent, as they are essential for the website to function properly.
• Performance, Functionality, and Targeting Cookies: These require your prior consent before being placed on your device. Consent is obtained through our cookie banner, and you may withdraw your consent at any time.
