Cookie information
This inventory describes the cookies and browser storage found in the current application. Optional first-party measurement is not written unless you actively allow it.
Pre-launch information draft. This wording is published for operational and legal review and is not presented as having received final legal approval.
Essential session and security cookies
The application uses an essential session cookie to maintain navigation state, sign-in state, form validation, CSRF protection and private guest booking access. Disabling it can prevent account, form and booking features from working.
The cookie named chezfrance-session is encrypted, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax. It normally expires after 120 minutes of inactivity. Choosing “keep me signed in” can also create a framework-generated remember cookie for up to 400 days; it is used only after that explicit sign-in choice.
Privacy-preserving first-party measurement
If you choose “allow first-party measurement”, the existing essential session can also hold an opaque first-touch reference. Server-side events can then record searches and property views, sanitised campaign fields and referring hosts. These analytics records do not contain guest contact details, raw IP addresses, card data or raw payment-provider identifiers and are retained for 395 days.
If you choose essential cookies only, public search and property-view measurement is not recorded. Operational booking and payment records are still created when you actively request or complete those services, but without the optional browsing attribution.
Payment technology
When an approved booking reaches the secure payment step, Stripe’s interface is loaded and may set or read provider-controlled storage needed for authentication, security and fraud prevention. It is not loaded on ordinary search or property pages. Review Stripe’s own cookie and privacy information for its current details.
Cookie and storage inventory
The preference cookie named chezfrance_cookie_preferences stores either “essential only” or “measurement allowed” for 180 days. It is first-party, encrypted, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax and exists solely to honour your choice. The application code currently uses no localStorage or sessionStorage and includes no third-party advertising or general analytics library.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require an optional marketing choice, but optional measurement does. You can change your choice below at any time. Withdrawing measurement permission prevents new optional browsing events; it does not automatically erase necessary transaction records or measurement already collected lawfully before withdrawal. Contact hello@chezfrance.com if you want to ask about earlier records.
This page describes the current ChezFrance service. The dated booking agreement shown during a transaction records the terms and versions that apply to that request.
