FAQ – Cookies and CNIL compliance
Cookies play an essential role: they enable a website to store key information so that it can function properly and provide a smoother browsing experience for the user.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on a user’s device when they visit a website. It is used to store certain information, such as display preferences, the contents of a shopping basket, or browsing history. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, whilst others are used to measure audience figures, personalise advertising or enable third-party features (social media, videos, etc.).
Do all cookies require the user’s consent?
No. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function are exempt from the requirement for consent. However, non-essential cookies used for audience measurement, advertising or social media require prior, free and informed consent.
How long does consent to cookies remain valid for?
The CNIL recommends a maximum duration of six months for consent, and 13 months for the lifespan of the cookies themselves. Beyond that, consent must be sought again.
What are the risks of non-compliance?
A non-compliant website risks:
- financial penalties of up to several million euros, depending on the severity of the breach,
- a loss of user trust,
- and mandatory compliance within a specified timeframe.
