A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a site. Zodiane made a simple choice: no advertising cookies, no analytics, no social media buttons, and no fonts or scripts loaded from third-party services.
1. Cookies used
“zodiane_session”: authentication cookie set only when you sign in to “My account”. Purpose: keep you signed in. Duration: 90 days. Set by the site itself. It is signed, inaccessible to scripts and sent only over secure connections.
“zodiane_lang”: preference cookie set only when you choose a language (language selector or suggestion banner). Purpose: show the site in the chosen language on your next visits. Duration: one year. Set by the site itself. It contains only the language code.
Payment: when you pay, you are redirected to Stripe’s secure page (checkout.stripe.com), which sets its own cookies needed for payment security and fraud prevention, under its policy available at stripe.com.
Browser local storage: when you use them, the site stores on your device a draft of the order form (for the life of the tab) and a random number that keeps the same tarot “card of the day” until midnight. This information never leaves your device, is used only for the service you requested and is exempt from consent; you can clear it in your browser settings.
2. Why there is no consent banner
Under article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and the CNIL guidelines (implementing the EU ePrivacy Directive), cookies strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user (account sign-in, payment) are exempt from consent. As the site uses no other cookies, no banner is imposed on you.
If analytics or other non-essential trackers were ever added, your consent would be requested beforehand, and refusing would be as easy as accepting.
3. Deleting or blocking cookies
You can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings (“Privacy” or “Cookies and site data”). Blocking the session cookie only prevents you from staying signed in to “My account”.
