Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are necessary for a website to function or remain secure, while others may be used for purposes such as audience measurement, advertising or personalisation.

2. Cookies used on this website

This website uses one cookie for ordinary visitors. It is strictly necessary for the security of the contact form.

Name: csrftoken
Provider: professional-english.eu
Purpose: Security. It protects the contact form against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), a common type of attack on web forms.
When it is set: Only when you open the contact page containing the form. It is not set when you browse other pages of the website.
Duration: 12 months (364 days).

No cookies are placed on your device when you browse other public pages of the website.

A separate technical session cookie (sessionid) is used exclusively when the website administrator logs into the private Wagtail administration area. It is never set for ordinary website visitors.

3. What this website does not use

This website does not use:

• audience measurement or analytics cookies, including Google Analytics or Matomo;
• advertising or retargeting cookies;
• social media tracking pixels or social sharing tools that place cookies;
• externally hosted fonts such as Google Fonts;
• embedded third-party content that places cookies, such as YouTube or Vimeo videos, Google Maps or reCAPTCHA.

Video content displayed directly on this website is hosted on the website's own server and does not result in cookies being placed by external video platforms.

No personal data collected through cookies is sold or shared for advertising purposes.

4. Microsoft Bookings

This website contains a link to Microsoft Bookings for scheduling a call. Microsoft Bookings is an external service and is not embedded in this website.

When you follow this link, you leave professional-english.eu. Any cookies or other technologies used on the Microsoft Bookings website are subject to Microsoft's own privacy and cookie practices.

5. Consent

Under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (Loi Informatique et Libertés) and applicable CNIL guidance, cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision or security of a service requested by the user are exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent.

The csrftoken security cookie described above is used solely to secure the contact form. For this reason, the website does not currently display a cookie consent banner.

If non-essential cookies, analytics tools or third-party embedded content are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated and consent will be obtained where required by law.

6. Managing cookies

You can delete existing cookies and control how your browser accepts cookies through your browser settings.

If you block the csrftoken security cookie, you may be unable to submit the contact form. The rest of the public website will continue to function normally.

7. Server logs

Independently of cookies, the website's hosting infrastructure records technical connection data when the website is accessed.

These logs may include:

• the visitor's IP address;
• the date and time of the request;
• the page requested;
• information indicating whether the page loaded successfully;
• the referring page;
• information about the browser used.

These technical logs are retained for approximately 14 days and are then automatically deleted. They are used for technical, security and website maintenance purposes.

The processing of personal data contained in server logs is addressed in the Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

This policy may be updated if the website's use of cookies, technologies or third-party services changes. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.
