Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how French SEO Services ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on frenchseo.services. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with content. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage.

2. How We Use Cookies

We categorise cookies as follows:

Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

  • cookie-consent — stores your cookie preference choice (local storage, 12 months)
  • Session cookies — maintain basic site functionality during your visit

Analytics Cookies (Requires Consent)

With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are most read, how users navigate between blog articles, and whether contact form paths convert effectively. This helps us improve content and user experience.

  • _ga, _gid — Google Analytics identifiers (if enabled, 24 months / 24 hours)
  • Performance metrics — aggregated page load and interaction data

Analytics cookies are only activated when you click "Accept All Cookies" in our consent banner. If you click "Decline Analytics", these cookies will not be set.

Functional Cookies

We do not currently use third-party functional cookies such as chat widgets or social media embeds that track users across sites.

3. Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit frenchseo.services, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You may:

  • Accept All Cookies — enables essential and analytics cookies
  • Decline Analytics — enables essential cookies only

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and respected on subsequent visits. You may change your preference at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site, which will cause the banner to reappear.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Our contact form is processed by Formspree, which may set its own cookies when you submit the form. Please refer to Formspree's privacy policy for details. Google Fonts are loaded from Google's CDN; Google may collect usage data according to their policies.

5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can typically:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block all cookies or third-party cookies only
  • Set preferences for specific websites

Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Instructions for common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

6. Legal Basis

Essential cookies are processed under legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) as they are strictly necessary for website operation. Analytics cookies require your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) under the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in French law.

7. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change our use of cookies or add new tools. Check this page periodically for the latest version.
