This is a courtesy translation. Only the French version is legally binding.
This policy explains which trackers ThumbLead (https://thumblead.com) uses and why no consent banner is shown to you. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
1. In summary
ThumbLead uses no advertising, audience measurement, profiling or social media cookies. The only trackers used serve to make the service work or to remember choices you make yourself.
2. Trackers used
Cookies:
- sign-in session (session token, CSRF protection, return URL, secure exchange with Google when signing in with Google): for the duration of the session, 30 days maximum for the session token;
ui-lang: chosen language, 1 year.
The browser's local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) keeps your theme, your language, your display and search preferences and the state of the getting-started tour. This information stays in your browser. A service worker allows the application to be installed on your computer, without reading any personal data.
3. Third-party services
Stripe, during payment, and Google, when signing in with Google, may set their own cookies on their own pages. YouTube thumbnails (i.ytimg.com) and Google Fonts are loaded from Google's servers, which then receive your IP address. These third parties apply their own policies. ThumbLead does not use them for any advertising or tracking purpose.
4. Why there is no banner
Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (loi Informatique et Libertés) exempts from consent trackers that are strictly necessary for the service you have requested. According to the CNIL, this is the case for authentication and security trackers and for those that remember your interface choices. All of ThumbLead's trackers fall within these exceptions. Should a tracker requiring consent be added, your agreement would be requested beforehand.
5. Blocking or deleting trackers
You can delete cookies and site data from your browser settings. Without the session cookie, you will no longer be able to sign in; the other preferences will simply revert to their default values.
