Cookies and consent
The site uses Google's Consent Mode v2. On your first visit, without prior consent: analytics cookies are disabled, personalised advertising is denied, and only contextual (non-personalised) ads may be displayed.
A banner lets you accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your choices (analytics, personalised ads, preferences). You can change your choices at any time by clearing your browser cookies or using your browser settings.
Processing purposes
Data is processed to: ensure the site's technical operation; measure audience and improve content (with consent); fund the site through advertising; and remember your cookie preferences (with consent).
Legal basis (EU and UK)
For visitors in the European Union and United Kingdom: processing based on analytics cookies and personalised advertising relies on your consent (GDPR / UK GDPR Article 6.1.a), obtained via the cookie banner. Technical hosting and site security may rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6.1.f).
International transfers
Your data may be processed in the United States by Google and Netlify. These transfers are governed by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and/or mechanisms provided by Google (including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable). By using the site, you are informed of these transfers.
Retention period
Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 14 months (CNIL recommendation). Cookie preferences are stored locally in your browser until you delete them. Contact emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request, then deleted unless a legal obligation requires otherwise.
Your rights (EU and UK)
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to, and port your personal data (where applicable). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise your rights: contact@bataillesdefrance.fr.
United States residents
We do not sell your personal information as defined under US state privacy laws (including the California CCPA/CPRA). We do not share your data for cross-context behavioural advertising without your consent via the cookie banner.
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain processing. For any request: contact@bataillesdefrance.fr. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
This site is not directed at children under 13 (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect data from children of that age.
Australian residents
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), we inform you that browsing data may be collected via cookies and third-party services (Google, Netlify), including disclosure to servers located in the United States.
You may request access to personal information we hold about you, or request correction, by writing to contact@bataillesdefrance.fr. If you believe we have not handled your request satisfactorily, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): www.oaic.gov.au.
