What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) by the website you visit. It allows the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information about you: display preferences, login state, expressed consents.
Cookie categories used on this site
Brightway uses exclusively the following categories, in compliance with CNIL recommendations and GDPR requirements.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential to the operation of the site: user session management, anti-CSRF token, recording of your cookie consent. They cannot be disabled and do not require your prior consent (Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act).
Preference cookies
These cookies remember your display choices (dark or light mode, interface language) to personalise your browsing between visits. They are only set after your explicit interaction with the relevant settings and contain no data identifying you.
Audience measurement cookies
If enabled, these cookies allow us to measure site audience anonymously: number of visits, pages viewed, reading duration, approximate geographic origin. [To complete: specify the tool used; Brightway recommendation = self-hosted Matomo or Plausible in cookieless configuration, or state “no audience measurement tool is currently deployed”.]
These cookies are only set with your explicit consent via the information banner displayed on your first visit.
No advertising cookies or third-party trackers
Brightway uses no advertising cookies, no social network trackers (Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, X/Twitter, etc.) and no marketing profiling tool. No browsing data is transmitted to advertising agencies or data brokers.
Cookie retention periods
The maximum retention period for cookies set on your device is 13 months, in line with CNIL recommendations. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

You can change or withdraw your consent for non-strictly-necessary cookies at any time:
- by clicking the “Manage my cookies” link available at the bottom of every page;
- by configuring your browser to accept or refuse some or all cookies;
