Cookie Policy 🍪

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. It allows your browser to be recognized, your preferences to be remembered, and site audience to be measured.

By extension, "cookie" here covers all similar technologies: invisible pixels, web beacons, local storage, fingerprinting, third-party SDKs, etc.

Placing and reading cookies on your device is governed by the ePrivacy Directive, the GDPR, and the recommendations of the French data protection authority (CNIL).

2. Cookie categories we use

On Barel, we use four cookie categories:

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the site to function (authentication, security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choice). They are placed on the basis of legitimate interest and do not require your prior consent.

2.2 Preferences

These cookies remember your interface choices (dark/light theme, language, currency displayed on the pricing page). They improve your browsing comfort but are not essential.

2.3 Statistics

These cookies help us understand how you use the site (pages visited, duration, traffic source) to improve the experience. The data is anonymized and aggregated.

2.4 Marketing & advertising

These cookies measure the performance of our ad campaigns (Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads), display relevant ads, and offer Barel to you if you visited our site without signing up (retargeting).

🎯 Marketing

This list is updated whenever our marketing stack evolves. If a new third-party cookie is introduced, the banner will reappear to collect your consent.

4. Your consent

In line with the CNIL recommendation of September 17, 2020, on your first visit, a cookie banner offers you three equivalent choices:

• Accept all 🤙 — you allow all cookies.
• Reject all — only necessary cookies are placed. No browsing disadvantage.
• Customize — choose category by category.

Until you express a choice, no non-essential cookie is placed. We use Google Consent Mode v2 to communicate your choice to Google services in a compliant way.

Your consent is free, informed, specific, unambiguous and revocable at any time.

5. Retention period

Cookie lifetime depends on its purpose:

After this period, consent is requested again.

6. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party providers we use. Here is the full list:

We have no control over the privacy policy of these third parties. We invite you to consult their own policies.
