Cookie Policy
Version 1.0 · last updated 18 April 2026
1. Purpose of this policy
This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) on go-trace.com (the "Site"), operated by Altanest SAS (the "Controller"). It supplements our Privacy Policy and forms an integral part of it.
It is drafted under:
- Directive 2002/58/EC as amended (the "ePrivacy Directive");
- Article 82 of French Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 (the "Loi Informatique et Libertés"), which transposes the ePrivacy Directive's consent requirement into French law;
- The guidelines and recommendation of the French supervisory authority (the "CNIL"), including Délibération No. 2020-091 of 17 September 2020 on cookies and other trackers and its accompanying recommendation (Délibération No. 2020-092).
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, or carry state between pages.
Other technologies covered by Article 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés, and by this policy where applicable, include:
- localStorage and sessionStorage — browser-based key/value stores;
- pixels (1×1 images) and tags used to transmit information on page load;
- device or browser fingerprinting techniques that derive a quasi-identifier from your hardware or software configuration.
Under Article 82, any access to or writing of information on a user's terminal requires the user's prior, free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, with the sole exceptions of technologies (i) whose exclusive purpose is to enable or facilitate electronic communication, or (ii) that are strictly necessary to provide an online service expressly requested by the user.
3. Cookies and storage used on this Site
We do not deploy any analytics, advertising, social-media-tracking, or behavioural-profiling cookies. The only client-side storage we use is detailed below.
3.1 Strictly necessary (no consent required)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention | Exemption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gotrace.consent.v1 | First-party localStorage entry | Stores the record of your cookie-banner choice (accepted / declined, timestamp, policy version) so we do not ask again at every page load. | Up to 13 months from the date of collection, in line with CNIL Délibération No. 2020-091. | Strictly necessary to implement the consent mechanism you requested (Art. 82 Loi Informatique et Libertés; CNIL guidance 2020-092, §2.2). |
3.2 Subject to your consent
The following third-party integration loads only after you accept non-essential cookies via our banner. If you decline, the embed is not loaded and no third-party cookies are set.
| Provider | Where | Purpose | Technical data accessed | More info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typeform S.L. | Contact page /contact and the newsletter section on the homepage | Render the embedded form, manage the form session, detect abusive submissions | Third-party cookies and local storage set by embed.typeform.com, including technical session identifiers and anti-spam markers | Typeform cookie information · Typeform Privacy Policy |
We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, or any comparable analytics or advertising technology.
4. How we obtain and record your consent
When you arrive on the Site, a consent banner is displayed. You may:
- Accept the use of the non-essential technology listed in §3.2 by clicking the "Accept" button;
- Decline by clicking "Decline" — this is as easy as accepting, in line with CNIL Délibération No. 2020-091, §2.2;
- Close the banner without choosing — treated as a refusal for the duration of your visit, and the banner will re-appear on your next visit.
Scrolling, clicking elsewhere on the page, or continuing to browse is not considered valid consent.
Your choice is recorded locally in your browser (see gotrace.consent.v1 above). No identifier is transmitted to us or to any third party for the purpose of logging that choice.
5. Withdrawing or changing your consent
You may change your mind at any time. We provide a persistent "Cookie preferences" control at the bottom of every page. Clicking it re-opens the banner and lets you update your choice.
Alternatively you can:
- clear site data for
go-trace.comin your browser (which deletes the stored choice and causes the banner to re-appear); or - use your browser's own cookie-management settings (see §7 below).
Withdrawal is as straightforward as the original grant, and takes effect immediately for future page loads. It does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place while consent was in force.
6. Consent refresh
In line with CNIL guidance, we will ask you again at most once every thirteen (13) months, and sooner if the purposes, the list of recipients, or this policy change materially. The version number at the top of this page identifies the edition your consent relates to.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
Independently of our banner, every modern browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. The publishers of the main browsers provide dedicated instructions:
Blocking cookies set by the Typeform embed will prevent the contact and newsletter forms from rendering correctly. In that case you may reach us by email at contact@go-trace.com.
8. Personal data generated through these technologies
Where the technologies listed above collect personal data, that data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which describes purposes, legal bases, recipients, international transfers, retention, and your rights under the GDPR.
9. Complaint to the supervisory authority
If you consider that our use of cookies or similar technologies infringes the applicable rules, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés), 3 place de Fontenoy — TSA 80715, 75334 PARIS CEDEX 07, France. www.cnil.fr.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The date and version at the top always identify the current edition. Where a change materially affects the purposes, recipients, or retention period of the technologies listed in §3, we will request your consent afresh.
