Short version: flixy.studio uses no advertising, profiling or third-party tracking cookies. We only use what is strictly necessary to run the website and your account, and we measure audience without cookies. That is why our banner only informs you instead of asking for consent.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage. This policy applies to all of them (the “cookies”), in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive, article 82 of the French Data Protection Act (loi Informatique et Libertés), the GDPR and the guidelines of the AEPD.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| studio_sid (session cookie) | Strictly necessary, first party | Keeps you signed in and protects forms (CSRF) | 30 days |
| fx_app | Strictly necessary, first party (only if you connect your phone) | Device key of the Flixy Studio mobile app: keeps the app signed in on this phone; removed when you sign out or remove the phone | Up to 400 days |
| fx_tfa | Strictly necessary, first party (only if you choose it) | Remembers that this device passed two-factor authentication, so the code is not asked again (signed; cancelled if you change your password or sign out other devices) | 30 days |
| fx_lang | Strictly necessary (preference requested by you) | Remembers the language you chose | 12 months |
| fx_cookie_ok (local storage) | Strictly necessary | Remembers that you closed the cookie banner | 12 months |
| studio_pending_prompt (session storage) | Strictly necessary | Keeps the prompt you typed while you create your account | Until the tab is closed |
| Theme / interface preferences (local storage) | Functional, requested by you | Remembers dark/light mode and sidebar state in the dashboard | Persistent until cleared |
Our audience measurement does not use cookies or persistent identifiers: a random identifier is kept in your browser’s session storage for the current tab only (deleted when you close it), and visits are otherwise counted with an anonymous hash that changes every day. It cannot be used to recognise you across days or websites, and the data is only used for aggregated statistics (pages, time spent, scrolling, sections and buttons used). This measurement is exempt from consent under the CNIL guidelines.
Our infrastructure provider may set strictly necessary security cookies (for example to filter bots or attacks) on hosted websites.
3. Websites created with Flixy
Websites created by our customers may use additional cookies or third-party services (maps, videos, payment widgets, analytics) chosen by the website owner. The website owner is responsible for informing its visitors and, where required, collecting their consent. Flixy provides tools to help, but does not decide on those cookies.
When the owner adds a Google map with Flixy’s Google services, the map is loaded only when the visitor clicks “Show the map” or after accepting cookies, so that Google sets no cookie before that. Google Analytics, when connected, loads only after consent.
The “Improve my site” features use no advertising cookie. They only keep, in the visitor’s browser, what they need to work: whether a pop-up was already shown (so it is not repeated), the chat conversation in progress, and the version shown in an A/B test. The WhatsApp button and the feeds for social networks load nothing from those platforms on the visitor’s device until the visitor clicks.
4. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from signing in. You can reopen the cookie information at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
5. Changes
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and ask for your prior consent through a banner offering “Accept” and “Reject” options with equal prominence. More information in our Privacy Policy.
