Definitions

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy:

  • “Cookies” are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website.
  • “Similar Technologies” refer to tracking technologies such as pixels, tags, or SDKs.
  • “Consent” means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the user’s wishes.

Introduction and regulatory framework

This Cookie Policy explains in a detailed and legally robust manner how Witbe Group (“Witbe”, “we”, “us”) uses Cookies and Similar Technologies on the website www.witbe.net.

The use of Cookies is governed by Directive 2002/58/EC (“ePrivacy Directive”), as transposed into French law, and by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR), as interpreted by the French supervisory authority (CNIL).

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

Role of cookies on the website

Except for strictly necessary cookies required for the functioning and security of the website, cookies are placed only after the user has expressed consent via the cookie consent banner. Certain features, such as webinar registration forms provided via third-party widgets, require the acceptance of specific third-party cookies in order to function properly.

Witbe uses a consent management platform (Axeptio) that enables users to:

  • Accept all Cookies
  • Refuse all non-essential Cookies
  • Configure granular preferences by category and by vendor

User choices are recorded and may be modified at any time via the Cookie Preferences link available here and in the website footer.

Categories of cookies used

Witbe uses cookies and similar technologies exclusively subject to the user’s consent. No cookies are placed on the user’s device unless and until consent has been expressed via the cookie consent banner

Depending on the user’s choices, the following categories of cookies may be used:

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies allow Witbe to measure website audience, traffic, and usage patterns in order to improve website performance and user experience. The information collected is aggregated and anonymized where possible and does not allow direct identification of users. These cookies are primarily set by Google Analytics.

Advertising and marketing cookies

These cookies are used to measure the performance of advertising campaigns and, where applicable, deliver relevant marketing communications. They may be set by Google advertising products and are used only with the user’s consent.

Embedded content and third-party media cookies

The website may include embedded content from third-party platforms, such as YouTube and Livestorm. In particular, Livestorm webinar widgets require the acceptance of Livestorm cookies to display registration forms. When enabled, these widgets may also trigger Google reCAPTCHA verification and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) tracking, as implemented by Livestorm, subject to the user’s consent.

Functional and preference cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember user preferences or interactions, such as acknowledging that a user has already viewed an informational message or notification, in order to avoid displaying it repeatedly. These cookies do not track users for advertising or analytics purposes and are placed only with the user’s consent.

Cookies set by Axeptio are used to record and manage users’ cookie consent preferences following interaction with the cookie consent banner. These cookies are considered strictly necessary and are exempt from consent requirements

The website implements Google Consent Mode. Depending on the user’s consent choices, Google tags may operate in a restricted mode that limits data collection for analytics and advertising purposes, in accordance with applicable regulations.

Cookies may be placed directly by Witbe or by third-party providers acting as independent controllers or as processors, including but not limited to:

  • Google (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA)
  • Axeptio (consent management)
  • YouTube (embedded video content)

Each third party’s data processing practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Their retention period varies depending on their purpose and provider. Detailed information is available through the cookie preference management interface.

International data transfers

Some third-party cookie providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses.

Copies of the applicable safeguards may be obtained upon request by contacting privacy@witbe.net.

User rights

Users may withdraw their consent at any time or modify their cookie preferences without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Users retain all rights provided under the GDPR, as detailed in the Privacy Policy.

Browser Settings

Users may also configure their browser settings to block or delete Cookies. However, disabling certain Cookies may impact the proper functioning of the website.

Marketing communications

This Cookie Policy is provided for transparency purposes and does not create contractual rights beyond those required by applicable law.

Witbe reserves the right to modify this Cookie Policy at any time. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
