1. Purpose of this policy

It details:

2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when visiting a website. It allows the site to:
- function properly;
- remember certain preferences (e.g. language, session);
- measure audience and improve content.
Cookies can be:
- first-party, placed directly by Nexio Research, or
- third-party, placed by technical providers acting on our behalf (hosting provider, analytics tool, etc.).
3. Cookies used
The Site sets strictly necessary cookies, audience measurement cookies exempt from consent and, only if you accept them, Google audience measurement and advertising cookies.
a) Strictly necessary cookies (exempt from consent)
- _nexio_research_session: browsing session and form security. Deleted when the browser is closed.
- cookie_consent: remembers your cookie choice for 6 months.
The contact form is protected against bots by Cloudflare Turnstile, which sets no cookie on the Site.
b) In-house audience measurement (exempt from consent)
An in-house solution for audience measurement, hosted by DATA PRO SOLUTIONS (stats.dataprosolutions.fr), sets two cookies: ml_vid (visitor, 13 months at most, never extended) and ml_sid (visit, 30 minutes). They are only used to produce anonymous traffic statistics, are never combined with any other data and are exempt from consent (CNIL guidelines). To opt out, turn on Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser: no visit is then measured.
c) Google audience measurement (subject to consent)
Google Analytics 4 measures traffic to the Site so we can improve its content. Cookies: _ga and _ga_*.
d) Advertising (subject to consent)
Google Ads measures the contact requests that come from our ads and lets us show our ads to people who visited the Site (remarketing). Cookies: _gcl_au on the Site, plus cookies set by Google on its own domains.
These tools are loaded by Google Tag Manager, only after you agree. Google may process this data in the United States, under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
Legal basis: your consent, collected through the cookie banner.
4. Consent management

Your choice is kept for 6 months. You can change it or withdraw your consent at any time with the “Manage my cookies” link at the bottom of every page. When you withdraw it, the Google cookies set on the Site are deleted.
