11. Cookies
The website bonnevilleavocats.com is a static showcase site. The following essential cookies, strictly necessary for its operation and security, are placed without prior consent:
- Ensuring the proper functioning and security of the site
- Protecting the contact form against automated submissions
- Remembering the choice you made in the information banner (stored locally in your browser, never transmitted to our servers)
Types of cookies used:
- Essential — necessary for the service, no consent required
- Functional — none
- Analytics — {{ANALYTICS_TOOLS}}
- Marketing — none (no advertising pixel or retargeting cookie)
The site does not use Google Analytics (GA4). If an audience measurement tool that places cookies or processes personal information is used, it is blocked by default and only activates after your explicit consent, given through the banner shown on your first visit.
Your choice is stored locally in your browser for 6 months and can be reviewed at any time through the Cookie preferences link in the footer. You may also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
To complete before going live
Replace {{ANALYTICS_TOOLS}} with the name of the tool selected, then:
- Tool with no cookie or personal data (Plausible, Fathom, Umami in anonymous mode): state "no cookie placed — anonymous statistics". No consent is required and the banner remains informational.
- Tool that places cookies (standard Matomo, Hotjar, Clarity): set
HAS_NON_ESSENTIALtotrueincookies.jsand declare the script withtype="text/plain" data-cookie-category="analytics". The banner will then show the Accept / Reject / Customize options. - Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Ads: these place cookies, so the previous case
applies — set
HAS_NON_ESSENTIALtotrueand declare the tags withtype="text/plain"(categorymarketingfor advertising tags). That blocking is what makes the site compliant with Law 25. In addition, setUSE_GOOGLE_CONSENT_MODEtotrue: Consent Mode v2 is a requirement of Google, not of Law 25, but without it Google degrades conversions and remarketing. Full instructions are at the top ofcookies.js.
Delete this box once the choice has been made.
