Audience measurement and cookies: the legal framework

Audience measurement involves the collection of personal data. Your IP address is considered personal data insofar as it may allow you to be identified. Since 25 May 2018, the GDPR has established a legal framework governing personal data. As a result, websites are generally required to obtain the explicit consent of users before placing cookies on their devices.

CNIL recommendations for exemption from consent

However, the CNIL states that it is possible to dispense with consent provided certain conditions are met, including the following:

  • The purpose must be strictly limited to audience measurement for the website or application (performance measurement, detection of navigation issues, optimization of technical performance or ergonomics, estimation of required server capacity, analysis of consulted content), exclusively for the website publisher;
  • The data collected must be used solely to produce anonymous statistical data.

Matomo, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics

Our website uses Matomo, a free and open-source audience analytics tool configured in compliance with the CNIL recommendations mentioned above. This means, for example, that your IP address is anonymized before being stored, making it impossible to associate your visits with your identity.
