Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Château Plaisance (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and browser storage technologies on our website, including our shop, checkout, and account pages.
Privacy-First Analytics
We use Umami analytics to understand general website usage patterns. Our configuration qualifies for the CNIL audience measurement exemption, meaning no consent is required because:
- No analytics cookies: Our analytics uses localStorage only, not tracking cookies
- Anonymized data: No personally identifiable information or IP addresses stored
- First-party only: All analytics data is controlled by us, never shared with third parties
- User opt-out available: You can disable tracking anytime
Managing Your Privacy
Access “Privacy Settings” via the menu icon (top-right corner) to control analytics:
- Disable Analytics Entirely: Completely opt-out of all tracking (saved as umami.disabled in localStorage)
- Respect Browser Do Not Track (DNT): Honor your browser’s DNT signal if enabled
Your choices persist in browser localStorage across sessions.
Browser Storage We Use
What are cookies and localStorage? Cookies are small text files stored by websites. LocalStorage stores larger amounts of data directly in your browser without sending it to servers automatically.
We do not use any advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The cookies described below are strictly necessary to provide the services you request — browsing, maintaining your cart, logging in to your account, and paying securely. Because they are essential to these services, they do not require your consent. We describe them here for transparency.
Our localStorage usage:
- Shopping cart: Items persist between sessions
- Preferences: Language and currency settings
- Privacy choices: Analytics opt-out settings
Functional cookies (strictly necessary): When you use your account, the customer portal, or checkout, we set first-party cookies that are essential to those services:
- Session (
session_id): Keeps you logged in and maintains your secure session while you use your account or complete an order. - Language (
frontend_lang): Remembers your chosen language so pages display correctly. - Timezone (
tz): Allows dates and times to be displayed correctly for your location.
These are first-party cookies set by us and limited to operating the service. They are not used for analytics or advertising.
Payment-security cookies (Stripe, strictly necessary): Payment is processed on our own site (you are not redirected to an external checkout domain). To process payments securely and prevent fraud, our payment processor, Stripe, sets cookies and collects device and activity signals on the payment page. These signals:
- are used solely to detect and prevent payment fraud;
- are scoped to a single checkout session;
- are not used for advertising and are not sold or shared for advertising purposes.
We do not control these cookies. For details, see Stripe’s Privacy Policy and Stripe’s Cookie Policy.
