Cookie & Technical Storage Policy
This Policy describes the use of cookies and technical storage elements on the website www.lexplana.com ("Website"), published by Lexplana Avocats AARPI, in accordance with French Data Protection Authority guidelines (CNIL - Deliberation n° 2020-091) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Regulation EU 2016/679).
1. No Advertising or Third-Party Profiling Cookies
Lexplana places the highest priority on protecting user privacy and confidentiality.
The website www.lexplana.com uses NO advertising cookies, NO third-party tracking pixels (such as Google DoubleClick, Meta Pixel, or LinkedIn Insight Tag), and NO behavioral profiling tools.
No browsing data is ever sold, transferred, or shared with advertising networks or commercial third parties.
2. Strictly Necessary Technical Cookies and Local Storage
To ensure optimal technical operation and network security, only strictly necessary identifiers and storage elements are deployed:
| Technology | Name / Key | Purpose | Retention Period | CNIL/GDPR Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Cookie / Session | __nf_bytes / netlify_session | Network connection security, load balancing, and anti-bot protection for contact and newsletter forms. | Session (deleted upon closing browser) | Consent Exempt (CNIL) |
| Local Storage (LocalStorage) | lexplana_lang / theme_pref | Remembers language preference selected voluntarily by the user (EN / FR / ES). | Persistent (until cache cleared by user) | Strictly Necessary Functional |
3. Legal Basis and Consent Exemption
Under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (*Loi Informatique et Libertés*) and CNIL Guidelines, storage devices whose sole purpose is to facilitate electronic communication or are strictly necessary to provide an online communication service requested by the user are exempt from prior consent requirements.
Because this Website does not place any consent-dependent tracking cookies (such as targeted ads or commercial tracking), displaying an intrusive cookie consent popup is legally not required.
4. Managing Storage via Your Browser
You can configure your web browser at any time to accept, refuse, or delete technical storage elements. Please note that completely blocking strictly necessary elements may disrupt the operation of contact forms.
