Cookie policy
1. General information on cookies
1.1. Definition
Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by a user send to the user’s device, where they are stored before being sent back to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies serve different purposes, have different characteristics and can be set by the owner of the website or by third parties. The main categories are:
- session or persistent cookies
- technical or profiling cookies
- first-party or third-party cookies
1.2. Session or persistent cookies
Session cookies link the actions of a user during a single browsing session and expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device between sessions, for variable periods, and allow the user’s preferences or actions on a website to be remembered.
1.3. Technical or profiling cookies
Technical cookies are used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic network, or because they are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. Under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC, they do not require the user’s prior consent.
Profiling and advertising cookies, by contrast, are used to build profiles of users in order to send them advertising in line with their preferences. Because of their invasiveness, they may only be placed after the user has been informed and has given consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.
1.4. First-party or third-party cookies
A cookie is “first-party” or “third-party” depending on the domain that sets it. First-party cookies are set and managed by the owner of the website visited. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one visited; in that case, the third party is responsible for informing users and for the means of blocking its cookies.
2. Use of cookies by the Website
2.1. Owner of the Website
The owner of the website, Mahdi Naïm — Mahdi Naïm Studio, 61c rue de Gerland, 69007 Lyon, France, lyon@mahdinaimstudio.com (hereinafter “Owner”), provides here the information on the cookies used by https://mahdinaimstudio.com (hereinafter “Website”) and explains how users can manage their preferences.
2.2. First-party cookies
The cookies set by the Owner on the Website are of a technical nature. They serve to operate the Website, to keep the contents of the shopping cart, to remember certain choices during a visit and to secure the logged-in areas. Without them, the Website could not function properly. Being technical, they do not require prior consent; this information is provided to the user for transparency.
| Cookie | Characteristics and purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie check | Checks that the browser accepts cookies | Session |
| Cart cookies | Remember whether the cart contains items and detect changes to its contents | Session |
| Customer session | Keeps the cart and the customer session from one page to the next | 2 days |
| Cookie consent | Records the choice made in the cookie banner, so that it is not asked again at every visit | 6 months |
| Account cookies | Authentication and preferences of users logged into a customer account | Session to 1 year |
2.3. Third-party cookies
At the date of this policy, the Website does not use analytics, advertising or social network cookies placed by third parties.
The Website does, however, load some resources from external services: fonts from Google Fonts (Google Ireland Ltd.) and videos from the Bunny.net content delivery network. These services do not place cookies through the Website, but the user’s browser connects to their servers, which receive the user’s IP address. More information is available in their privacy notices:
| Third party | Service | Data received | Privacy notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ireland Ltd. | Google Fonts | IP address, browser information | LINK |
| BunnyWay d.o.o. | Bunny.net video delivery | IP address, browser information | LINK |
The links to Instagram, LinkedIn, Behance and Medium that appear on the Website are simple links: no cookie is placed by these networks until the user visits their websites.
When users first visit the Website, a banner informs them about cookies and allows them to accept or refuse non-essential cookies, or to choose by category. Refusing is as simple as accepting. The choice is kept for 6 months, after which it is asked again. Users can change it at any time through the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page.
Should the Owner introduce audience measurement or other non-essential cookies in the future, they will be placed only if the user has accepted them in the banner, and this policy will be updated accordingly.
3. Managing cookie settings
Users can manage their cookie preferences directly in their browser: block the installation of cookies, including third-party cookies, and delete cookies already stored. Disabling all cookies may prevent some functions of the Website, such as the cart, from working. Information on how to manage cookies is available at the following addresses:
