Cookies

Yes, even alinebe.com uses cookies — not the chocolate ayurvedic ones (sadly), but the tiny digital crumbs that help the website flow with more harmony. According to French law (CNIL) and European directives, I need your clear, conscious consent before dropping them into your browser aura.

​

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are little text files stored on your device that:

• Remember your preferences (language, login, cart — so you don’t have to re-do everything).

• Help me see how the site is used (via analytics, so I can align the website better with your needs).

• Allow for magical marketing if you choose to receive it.

2. Types of cookies on this site:

1. Essential cookies – The spiritual backbone of the site. Without them, your session may lose its flow (and your cart might vanish into another dimension). These don’t require consent.

2. Analytics cookies – Help me understand which pages light up your soul (and which don’t). These require your consent.

3. Marketing cookies – Allow aligned ads or offers to reach you on other platforms, only if you consent.

3. Your consent, your choice:

When you arrive, a cookie banner will ask if you want to:

• Accept all cookies (embrace the digital flow),

• Refuse all non-essential cookies (only keep the basics), or

• Customize (pick and choose which energies you allow).

No tracking cookie is activated until you’ve made your choice. You can also change your mind anytime by revisiting the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of the site (because free will is everything ✨).

4. Cookie lifespan:

• Session cookies disappear when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies stay up to 13 months max (as required by French law). After that, they either fade away or I’ll ask for your consent again.

5. Managing cookies yourself:

You can also clear or block cookies via your browser settings (just know it may affect your site experience).

For more mystical (but practical) details, check with the guardian of French data privacy: www.cnil.fr.

Would you like me to also draft the actual text for the cookie banner (the little pop-up visitors see), so it’s already styled in a playful/consent-compliant way?

​

​✨ Translation for cosmic clarity: You control the cookies. None of the non-essential ones are activated without your clear yes. And you can revoke consent whenever you want — no bad karma attached.
