Cookies & trackers
Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 June 2026
UK note: The UK has retained the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) post-Brexit, which are broadly equivalent to the EU ePrivacy Directive. The opt-in consent requirement for non-essential cookies applies in the UK as well.
This policy explains what cookies and trackers are, which ones may be used on the website gigifrance.fr (hereinafter "the Website"), and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored on and read from your device when you visit a website, application or advertisement. It enables, among other things, recognition of your device, storage of information, or measurement of audience. The term "cookie" is used here in its broad sense to include similar tracking technologies (trackers).
2. Our Approach: Prior Consent (Opt-in)
In accordance with applicable regulations in the European Union and the United Kingdom (ePrivacy Directive / PECR, GDPR / UK GDPR):
- strictly necessary cookies and trackers for the operation of the Website are stored without consent;
- all other non-essential trackers are only stored after obtaining your prior, free, informed and specific consent.
On your first visit, a consent banner allows you to accept or refuse non-essential trackers. Refusing is as easy as accepting: the "Accept all" and "Reject all" buttons are presented at the same level. No checkbox is pre-ticked and no non-essential tracker is placed before your consent.
3. Categories of Cookies and Trackers
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies (No Consent Required)
These trackers are essential for the operation of the Website and the provision of the services you request. They do not require your consent.
| Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|
| Session and basket management | Basket contents, session cookie |
| Authentication | Maintaining your login to your customer account |
| Security | Fraud prevention, Website protection |
| Technical preference storage | Selected country / language / currency, cookie consent preferences |
3.2 Privacy-Friendly Audience Measurement (No Cookie)
Website traffic is measured using Plausible Analytics, a solution that does not use cookies and does not collect data that could directly identify you. This audience measurement, configured in accordance with recommendations for consent-exempt tools, provides aggregated statistics (number of visits, page views, referral source). It therefore does not require your consent.
3.3 Third-Party Services Required for Payment (Mollie)
Order payments are processed by Mollie. During a payment, Mollie may place trackers that are strictly necessary for securing the transaction and preventing fraud. These trackers are inherent to the payment service and are not for advertising tracking purposes. For more information, please consult Mollie's privacy policy: https://www.mollie.com/privacy.
3.4 Anti-Bot Protection of Forms (Cloudflare Turnstile — Strictly Necessary)
All forms on the Website (contact, quote request for custom-made products, registration and password reset) are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a solution that distinguishes humans from bots. Turnstile sets a strictly necessary technical token for the sole purpose of securing the forms against spam and abuse. It is not used for advertising or audience measurement purposes and does not require your consent. Learn more: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
3.5 Third-Party Analytics, Advertising and Social Media Cookies (Consent Required)
At the date of publication, the Website does not use advertising cookies, social media cookies or consent-required audience measurement tools. Should such trackers be added in the future, they will be listed here and will be subject to your prior consent via the consent banner.
4. Managing Your Preferences
When consent-required trackers may be placed, you can change your choices at any time:
- via the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of each page of the Website, which reopens the preferences panel;
- by setting your browser to block or delete cookies (the procedure varies by browser — see your browser's help section).
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. However, blocking certain strictly necessary cookies may impair the proper functioning of the Website (for example, the basket or login).
A record of your choice (consent or refusal) is kept to respect your preferences and demonstrate compliance, in accordance with applicable regulations.
5. Cookie Retention
When consent is required, it is stored for a maximum period of six (6) months, after which your choice will be requested again. Strictly necessary cookies have a lifespan limited to what is necessary for their purpose (for example, the duration of the session). Strictly necessary cookies only (session duration).
