Cookie Policy — COFIMAT website
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on the user's device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when visiting a website. Cookies make it possible, among other things, to ensure the proper functioning of the website, remember preferences, improve the user experience and compile visitor statistics. This policy also covers similar technologies (local storage, pixels).
2. Use of cookies by COFIMAT
The website www.cofimat.com uses cookies solely in a professional (B2B) context and for purposes strictly limited to the operation of the Website. The cookies used do not identify a user as a natural person. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking cookies and no audience measurement cookies are used.
3. Types of cookies used
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Essential to the proper functioning of the Website: correct display of pages, secure browsing (HTTPS, session), operation of the contact form and anti-spam protection, remembering the chosen language (FR/NL/EN) and remembering cookie choices. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and the consent exemption provided for by electronic communications legislation. No consent required. Duration: session or 12 months maximum (language and cookie choices).
3.2 Cookieless audience measurement
The Website uses a privacy-friendly audience measurement tool hosted in the European Union (Plausible Analytics or Matomo), configured without cookies and without collecting data that could identify the user: statistics are aggregated and anonymous (pages visited, country, device type, referring website). In this configuration, no consent is required. Should COFIMAT use a tool that sets audience measurement cookies, these would be set only after the user's explicit consent, for a maximum of 13 months, and this policy would be updated.
3.3 Third-party cookies
By default, the Website does not embed any third-party content that sets cookies. Should third-party content (interactive map, video) be added, it would be loaded only after an explicit action by the user; any cookies set by these third parties would be governed by their own policies, over which COFIMAT has no control.
3.4 List of cookies

No other cookie is set. The Website uses no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking cookies and no audience measurement cookies.
4. Managing preferences
As the Website uses no cookies subject to consent, no blocking banner is displayed. The "Cookie preferences" link in the footer allows users to consult the list of cookies used at any time. Users may also configure their browser to refuse or delete cookies; some features of the Website (form, language memory) may then be limited.
5. Retention period
Strictly necessary cookies are retained for the duration of the session or for a maximum of 12 months from the date they are set.
