Cookies and trackers
No audience-measurement cookie is set without your consent. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and you can change your mind at any time.

What the site uses
The site sets no advertising cookie. It offers a single purpose that depends on your choice: audience measurement with Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The table lists everything that may be stored in your browser.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4: tells visitors apart for traffic statistics. | 13 months at most, not renewed at each visit | Required. Set only after “Accept all” or after switching audience measurement on. |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics 4: keeps session state. | 13 months at most | Required. Same. |
ykela_consent (local storage) | Remembers your choice (banner version, choice, date, random identifier). | 6 months, then the banner asks again | Not required: needed to respect your choice. |
Payment happens on Stripe’s hosted payment page: the site does not load Stripe on its own pages. Stripe may set its own trackers on its own domain once you click “Pay”; see the privacy policy.
How consent works
Until you choose, no request is sent to Google: the Google Analytics script is not even loaded. If you accept, it is loaded, the audience-measurement consent is granted, and the advertising-related consents (ad storage, ad user data, ad personalisation) stay denied: the site shows no ads.
Each choice is recorded with its date, the banner version and a random identifier, so consent can be proven (see the privacy policy). Your choice is kept for 6 months.
Withdraw or change your consent
Click “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page, or here:
If you withdraw, audience measurement stops immediately and the _ga cookies are deleted. You can also delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings.
More information
GA4 data is kept for 25 months at most. For everything about how your data is processed and your rights, see the privacy policy. The French version is authoritative; the English and Chinese versions are translations.
