# Cookie Policy

StatHall limits its use of cookies and similar technologies to the strict minimum. No third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Meta Pixel…), no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking.

## 1. Cookies set

| Cookie | Issuer | Purpose | Lifetime | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `session` | StatHall | SPA authentication, JWT token `HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Strict` | Session (sliding 7 days) | Strictly necessary |
| `statsapps.lang` | StatHall | Remembers the user's chosen language (localStorage, not an HTTP cookie) | Persistent local | Strictly necessary |
| `cf_clearance` *(if a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge fires)* | Cloudflare | Proof of anti-bot challenge completion, cookie-free under normal conditions | ≤ 30 min | Strictly necessary |

None of these cookies requires prior consent under article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (ePrivacy directive), as all are **strictly necessary for the operation** of the Service you requested.

## 2. No analytics cookies

StatHall uses no third-party analytics tool. Internal metrics (latency, error rate) are collected server-side without any user cookie. A self-hosted **Plausible** instance may be added to the public landing page; Plausible sets no cookie and uses no fingerprinting.

## 3. Lifetime and deletion

Strictly necessary cookies are automatically removed upon expiration or on logout. You may at any time:

- Delete the cookies already set through your browser settings
- Refuse strictly necessary cookies — in which case the Service cannot function (staying logged in becomes impossible).

## 4. Changes

Should a non-strictly-necessary cookie ever be added in the future (e.g. a server-side-persisted UI preference), an explicit consent banner will be put in place in compliance with the 2020 CNIL recommendations.
