This privacy policy describes how the site Festivals en France collects, uses and protects the personal data of its users, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Cookies

The site uses several categories of cookies:

Technical cookies

  • Session cookie — maintains your browsing session
  • CSRF token — protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks

Favourites are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and are not transmitted to our servers.

Analytics cookies

The site uses Google Analytics (Google LLC) to measure audience and analyse visitor behaviour (pages visited, session duration, traffic origin). This data is collected anonymously and transmitted to Google LLC (United States). You can refuse these cookies via the Google Analytics opt-out tool.

Advertising cookies

The site displays advertising via Mediavine. These technologies may set first-party and third-party cookies to deliver interest-based advertising. You can review or change your consent at any time via the privacy module shown on the site.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

This website works with Mediavine to manage the third-party interest-based advertising that appears on the site. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit, which may use first-party and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file sent to your device by the web server so that a website can remember information about your browsing.

Third-party cookies, tags, pixels and similar technologies may be placed on the site to measure interaction with advertising and to target and optimise it. Every browser lets you block first-party and third-party cookies and clear its cache; the browser's "help" menu explains how. Without cookies you may not enjoy the full site. Refusing cookies does not remove advertising: you will then see non-personalised ads.

When serving personalised ads, the site collects the following data via a cookie:

  • IP address
  • Operating system type and version
  • Device type
  • Website language
  • Browser type
  • Email address (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (the companies with which Mediavine shares data) may also use this data, link it to other information they have independently collected (advertising identifiers, pixels, etc.) and deliver targeted advertising across your online experience — devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage, cookie, device, geolocation, traffic and referral data.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance or AppChoices. For more information on how Mediavine uses data, see the Mediavine privacy policy. To view the list of Mediavine partners, see the Mediavine Partners page.

Data sharing

Your personal data is not sold or transferred to third parties for commercial purposes. Some third-party providers may receive data as part of their operations:

  • OVH SAS — technical host of the site
  • Google LLC — audience measurement (Google Analytics)
  • Mediavine, LLC — advertising network (programmatic advertising)

These providers are subject to their own privacy policies and to the safeguards provided by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for transfers to the United States.

Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access — obtain a copy of your data
  • Right to rectification — correct inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure — request deletion of your data
  • Right to object — object to the processing of your data
  • Right to portability — receive your data in a structured format

To exercise these rights, please contact us via the contact form.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (the French data protection authority) — www.cnil.fr.
