This Cookie Policy explains how Viewvillagelistlom Publications SAS utilizes cookies and browser local storage mechanisms. We believe in strict privacy-by-design principles: we do not use intrusive third-party cross-site advertising trackers or data-broker pixels.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a web server. Local storage is a modern browser mechanism that allows web pages to store preference keys securely on your device without sending that data to the server on every request. On this site, we use local storage to remember your cookie consent preferences across visits.
2. Comprehensive Storage & Cookie Inventory
The following table lists every storage parameter deployed across our domain:
| Identifier / Key | Category | Provider | Exact Purpose | Duration |

- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies → Block third-party cookies or manage on-device site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Custom, check "Cookies".
- Apple Safari: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Privacy → Block All Cookies.
