Cookie policy

What a cookie is

A cookie (“témoin” in French) is a small file a site asks your browser to keep. It exists to remember something between two pages or two visits: the language you read in, a shopping cart, the fact that you are signed in. Some cookies also follow what you look at, from site to site, to build an advertising profile.

A site can also keep things in your browser’s memory without using a cookie, in what is called local storage. This page covers both.

What this site stores

Nothing. The Assurenet site sets no cookie and writes nothing into your browser’s memory. Here is, category by category, what does not exist here:

• Audience measurement: no analytics cookie. The site uses no visitor statistics tool.
• Advertising and tracking: no advertising cookie, no tracking pixel, no cookie that follows you from site to site.
• Social media and embedded content: no share buttons, no embedded video, no embedded map. No page loads code from another site.
• Preferences: no language cookie. The version you are reading is written in the page address (/fr or /en), not in a cookie.
• Questionnaire and forms: no draft is kept. What you type is sent the moment you press the button; if you leave the page before that, your answers stay nowhere.
• Fonts and images: served by the site itself, never by an outside service that could set a cookie along the way.

That is why this site has no cookie banner and no settings panel. The “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page brings you here: there is nothing to switch on or off.

The one possible exception

A strictly necessary cookie could appear if the company that hosts the site needed one for security, for example to block an attack. A cookie like that only serves to deliver the page safely, builds no profile and does not require your consent. As of the date at the top of this page, the site runs with no cookie at all.

What the site sees even without cookies

Every time your browser asks for a page, it sends technical information so the page can be displayed: the type of browser, the page requested and the language your browser announces. That is how the web works, and it is not a cookie: none of it is kept in your browser.

The first time you land on the site’s main address, the language your browser announces decides whether you get the French or the English version. It is read at that moment and stored nowhere. What the site keeps when you send the questionnaire is described in our privacy policy.

How to refuse or delete cookies

There is nothing to refuse here, but your browser lets you control cookies for every site you visit. The menus change from one version to the next; your browser’s help pages give the exact steps for yours.

• Block: the “Privacy” section of your settings lets you refuse cookies, either all of them or only the ones that come from a site other than the one you are reading.
• Delete: the same section lets you clear cookies and local storage already saved, for one site or for all of them, and clear everything automatically when you close the browser.
• Private browsing: a private window clears cookies and local storage as soon as you close it.
• On your phone: the same settings live in your browser app, under “Privacy”.

Blocking every cookie can stop other sites from working, a store or a mailbox for instance. The Assurenet site works normally even with everything blocked.

If that changes

If we ever added a cookie that is not strictly necessary, audience measurement for example, we would ask for your agreement before setting it, with the choice off by default and refusing as easy as accepting. This page would be updated first, and the date at the top always shows the version in force.
