1. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small file placed on your device while browsing. It allows the site to remember certain information between your visits (for example, your login session or your display preference).
2. Essential cookies
Elofoot uses necessary technical cookies: authentication (HttpOnly secure session cookie), CSRF attack prevention, and interface preferences (theme, language). Under the ePrivacy directive and CNIL deliberation no. 2020-091, these cookies do not require your prior consent because they are strictly necessary to provide the service.
2 bis. Roulette anti-abuse cookie
The roulette uses the secure HttpOnly technical cookie “ef_roulette_device”, retained for no more than one year. It contains a random pseudonymous identifier and is used only to enforce one draw per device every 24 hours and prevent opportunistic account creation. It is strictly necessary to the integrity of the feature, is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking and therefore does not require prior consent. Blocking or deleting it may make the roulette unavailable pending verification.
3. Analytics cookies
To date, no third-party audience-measurement cookie is set. If we introduce a statistics tool, it will be privacy-friendly (no individual identification, compliant with the CNIL's consent-exempt configuration) or activated only after your explicit consent via a dedicated banner.
4. Advertising cookies
If you click “Accept” in the cookie banner, Elofoot loads the Google Ads tag provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). It is used solely to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns (whether a visit from a Google ad leads to a sign-up or a purchase), without ad personalisation. It sets the “_gcl_*” cookies (for example “_gcl_au”), retained for 90 days. Without your consent (refusal or no choice), this tag is not loaded and none of these cookies are set. You can withdraw your consent at any time: clear this site's data in your browser (cookies and local storage), then click “Decline” when the banner reappears. Google may transfer this data to the United States under the Data Privacy Framework. Apart from this measurement, Elofoot does not share any data with advertising networks or data brokers. Our business model relies exclusively on paid Starter, Pro and Elite subscriptions.
5. Managing your cookies
You can delete or block cookies at any time from your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Note: blocking essential cookies may make some Elofoot features unusable, in particular logging in to your account.
