Privacy and Cookie Policy

Note: For simplicity, this website is referred to as "F-H" below.

Right to Information

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I am committed to providing clear and transparent information regarding the collection of data and cookie usage on F-H.  Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out via the contact form.

Personal Data Collection

Data collection on F-H is strictly minimal.  It is limited to your name and email address when you voluntarily submit them through the contact form.  No other personal data is collected or stored.

IP Address Logging

Like every web server on the internet, incoming HTTP requests automatically log client IP addresses.  This is a fundamental security requirement for infrastructure monitoring, cyberattack mitigation, and legal compliance.  Access logs are handled at the hosting infrastructure level by Hostinger.  F-H does not perform any custom processing, profiling, or tracking on these IP addresses.

Cookie Usage & Storage Mechanics

Depending on your choice via the initial consent banner, session parameters and cookies may be set in your browser.

• sessionid (Session)" target="_blank"> Handles active session state and temporary UI error messages.  It contains zero personal data and cannot identify your device.
• trackerPolicyAcceptance (90 days) Stores your 'ACCEPTED' preference for the tracking policy.  If you decline consent, a 'REJECTED' flag is stored strictly in your browser's sessionStorage (not as a persistent cookie) and is automatically flushed when the browser tab closes.
• lang (30 days): If consent is granted, this stores your preferred language ( en or fr ) to serve content in your language on subsequent visits.
• Hostinger Infrastructure Cookies (Session): Transient HTTP header artefacts generated by Hostinger's edge servers and load balancers to ensure proper request routing, caching, and optimal site delivery.  No personal data is stored within them.

Analytics & Third-Party Tools

F-H does not run Google Tag Manager.  Usage of analytics is restricted to native search performance data via Google Search Console and standard webmaster statistics.
