2. What is a cookie?
‍
A “cookie” is a small information file sent to the User’s browser and stored within the User’s terminal (e.g. computer, smartphone). The information stored by cookies includes the pages visited, the type of browser you are using, your IP address, and even the information you have entered on a site so that you do not have to re-enter it. Cookies are in no way likely to damage the User’s terminal. They are created for a limited time when a user’s browser loads a particular website: the site sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Each time the user returns to the same site, the browser retrieves this file and sends it to the website’s server.

For more information on cookies, please consult the CNIL information page: http://www.cnil.fr/vos-droits/vos-traces/les-cookies/.

3. What cookies do we use?

Cookies can be session-specific, being stored in your browser only during your browsing session, i.e. until you leave the site, at which point they are deleted. Some of them may also be persistent: they remain in your browser after the session (unless you specifically delete them).

We use two types of cookies:
‍
– Essential cookies. These are the cookies that are essential because they allow the site to function properly (forms, site language, etc.) or to store your choice in terms of cookies. For this reason, if you refuse to accept cookies on your terminal or browser, or delete the ones that are stored there, your navigation and experience on the https://www.crowdsec.net website may be limited. This could also be the case when Crowdsec or one of its service providers cannot recognise, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by the terminal, the language and display settings or the country from which the terminal appears to be connected to the Internet. This type of cookie also includes the management of your choice of cookies (via the Axeptio solution).The use of these cookies is based on our legitimate interest: they are intended to improve the functioning of our site and to ensure its proper operation. We are the only ones to use them and they are kept for a period of 13 months;

– A cookie for marketing analysis of traffic and content use (provider Hubspot). It requires your explicit consent to be implemented and is kept for a period of 13 months.

4. Do you need to consent to the placement of cookies?

This depends on the cookies considered. In accordance with applicable legislation and CNIL guidelines, we will obtain your prior consent before depositing cookies that require it, in this case Hubspot marketing analysis cookies.

At any time, you can choose to express and modify your cookie wishes via our dedicated popup (see below).

Finally, by clicking on the icons dedicated to social networks such as Twitter, Linkedin and Youtube appearing on the https://www.crowdsec.net website and if you have specifically accepted that they do so, these networks may also deposit cookies on your terminals (computer, tablet, mobile phone).

5. How do you set your cookies?

‍We offer a popup dedicated to this purpose, accessible from all pages of the site by clicking on the orange tick at the bottom left of each page of our website.

‍You also have the possibility to intervene directly on the settings of your internet browser. Your browser’s help menu will tell you how to express or change your cookie preferences, bearing in mind that you can delete any cookies that are already on your computer and you can configure most browsers to prevent them from appearing. In this case, however, you may have to manually set certain preferences each time you visit a site and some services and features may not work.
