GO TRACE

Cookie Policy

Version 2.1 · last updated 3 May 2026

1. Purpose of this policy

This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs, fingerprinting) on go-trace.com (the "Site"), operated by Altanest SAS (the "Controller"). It supplements our Privacy Policy and forms an integral part of it.

It is drafted under:

  • Directive 2002/58/EC as amended (the "ePrivacy Directive");
  • Article 82 of French Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 (the "Loi Informatique et Libertés"), which transposes the ePrivacy Directive's consent requirement into French law;
  • The guidelines and recommendation of the French supervisory authority (the "CNIL"), including Délibération No. 2020-091 of 17 September 2020 on cookies and other trackers and its accompanying recommendation (Délibération No. 2020-092).

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, or carry state between pages.

Other technologies covered by Article 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés, and by this policy where applicable, include:

  • localStorage and sessionStorage: browser-based key/value stores;
  • pixels (1×1 images) and tags used to transmit information on page load;
  • device or browser fingerprinting techniques that derive a quasi-identifier from your hardware or software configuration.

Under Article 82, any access to or writing of information on a user's terminal requires the user's prior, free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, with the sole exceptions of technologies (i) whose exclusive purpose is to enable or facilitate electronic communication, or (ii) that are strictly necessary to provide an online service expressly requested by the user, or (iii) that fall within the CNIL consent-exemption for limited-purpose audience measurement (Délibération No. 2020-092 §2.5).

3. Cookies and storage used on this Site

The Site sets no cookies. No localStorage, no sessionStorage, no pixels, no tags, no fingerprinting, no third-party tracker. We do not deploy Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, or any equivalent advertising or behavioural-profiling technology.

Because no client-side storage is set, no consent banner is shown.

4. Privacy-respecting analytics (Umami)

We use Umami, a privacy-respecting analytics tool, to understand aggregate Site usage and improve our content. Our Umami instance is self-hosted on the same Hetzner box as go-trace.com, at analytics.conclavik.com, and operates as follows:

  • No cookies, no localStorage, no sessionStorage. Umami uses none of these.
  • No persistent identifier. Umami computes a session-bucket hash from your IP address, user-agent, the website ID, and the current day. The hash rotates every 24 hours and your raw IP is not retained beyond the in-memory hash computation.
  • Aggregated, anonymous statistics only. What we keep is page views, referrers, browser, OS, viewport size, country derived from IP geolocation. Nothing that lets us re-identify you.
  • EU-resident infrastructure. Umami runs on the same Hetzner server in Nuremberg (Germany) as the Site itself. No data leaves the EU.
  • No tracking pixels, no behavioural advertising, no cross-site profiling.

Because the processing is cookieless, limited to anonymous aggregate statistics, EU-resident, and not cross-referenced with any other processing, we rely on the consent exemption in CNIL Délibération No. 2020-092 §2.5 and on our legitimate interest under GDPR Article 6(1)(f). You may opt out at any time (see §6).

5. Forms on this Site

The Site offers a single contact form at /contact (and /fr/contact). When you submit it, your entries are sent over an authenticated HTTPS API call to Web3Forms, our form-forwarding processor (operated by Statichunt, India), which retains the submission for up to 30 days for delivery and audit, then auto-deletes. This call does not set any cookie or local-storage entry on your device. Further details on Web3Forms as a processor, including transfer mechanism, are set out in §5 of our Privacy Policy.

6. Opting out of analytics

If you want to opt out of the Umami analytics described in §4, you can:

  • Enable your browser's "Do Not Track" header (DNT). Umami honours it and stops collecting data for visits that send DNT.
  • Use a content blocker that blocks analytics.conclavik.com (uBlock Origin, Brave, etc. ship rules that block Umami by default in privacy-strict modes).
  • Email contact@go-trace.com to ask for a server-side exclusion if neither of the above is convenient.

7. Managing cookies in your browser

Independently of this Site, every modern browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. The publishers of the main browsers provide dedicated instructions:

8. Personal data handling

Where data processed via the Site (analytics, contact form, server logs) constitutes personal data, it is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which describes purposes, legal bases, recipients, international transfers, retention, and your rights under the GDPR. A standalone sub-processor list is at /sub-processors.

9. Complaint to the supervisory authority

If you consider that our use of cookies or similar technologies infringes the applicable rules, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés), 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 PARIS CEDEX 07, France. www.cnil.fr.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The date and version at the top always identify the current edition. If we ever introduce a non-essential cookie or a tracking technology that requires consent, we will update this policy in advance and obtain your consent through a banner before any such storage takes place.
