Cookies on Vraiment Beau
This page explains how Vraiment Beau uses cookies. The good news are that we only use "necessary" cookies, internal to Vraiment Beau. This is the reason why you do not see any consent banner when connecting to our site.
Cookies fall into several broad categories, each serving a specific purpose in how websites function and improve over time.
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to the proper operation of the site: they manage login sessions, remember basket contents, and secure data exchanges. Without them, the site simply cannot work. They do not require user consent.
Preference and functionality cookies remember your personal choices: language, region, preferred layout. While not technically required to display the site, they are necessary to ensure a consistent experience from one page to the next. Like strictly necessary cookies, they remain internal to the site: the data collected is neither shared nor transmitted to third parties.
Analytics and audience measurement cookies gather statistical data — pages visited, time spent, traffic sources — in order to improve the site's performance. Depending on the tool used (e.g. Google Analytics), they may be processed by an external provider, though the data remains anonymised and used solely for analysis purposes.
Advertising and targeting cookies clearly cross the boundary of the site: placed and operated by third-party advertising networks, they build a profile of your interests and follow you across other websites to serve you targeted ads. Your data circulates among multiple external parties.
Social media cookies work on the same principle: they are placed directly by third-party platforms (Meta, LinkedIn, X…) and may track your browsing well beyond our site, as long as you are logged into those services.
In accordance with the GDPR and the recommendations of the CNIL, only internal strictly necessary and preference cookies are active by default — all others, particularly those involving external parties, require your explicit consent, which you can manage or withdraw at any time.
We did not present you with a consent banner when you arrived on our site. The reason is simple: we take your privacy seriously, and we do not use any cookies of type 3, 4, or 5. All our cookies remain confined to our own servers, and exist solely to make your browsing experience smoother.
