3. Cookie Policy & Web Tracking

Clean, lightweight, and tracker-free web architecture.

No Advertising or Profiling Cookies

Unlike commercial websites, A CORDA does not deploy third-party advertising trackers, Google remarketing tags, Meta advertising pixels, or invasive behavioral profiling cookies.

Our portal is engineered in native, lightweight PHP and standard CSS. The only cookies that may be utilized are strictly technical and functional session cookies (such as temporary CSRF verification or transient session states) which are exempt from consent under French CNIL guidelines because they carry no cross-site tracking capabilities.

You are free to disable cookies entirely in your browser preferences; our website will continue to function seamlessly and display all program schedules and contact forms without hindrance.
