Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you select "Accept All Cookies" on the consent banner. Selecting "Reject Optional" means only essential cookies are used.
Essential Cookies — These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as form submission, session management and storing your cookie preference. You cannot opt out of essential cookies as the website cannot function without them.
Analytics Cookies — These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as pages visited, time spent on pages and how visitors arrived at the site. All data is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to improve the website experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Functional Cookies — These enable enhanced features such as third-party communication tools. These cookies may be set by our third-party service providers and are only active when you interact with those features.
When you make a cookie selection on AjaCertX, your preference is recorded and stored for 6 months. After this period, the cookie consent banner will appear again and you will be asked to confirm your preference.
This 6-month duration aligns with guidance from the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the French data protection authority (CNIL) on the frequency of consent renewal for analytics and optional cookies.
Some cookies on our website are set by third parties. We do not control these cookies and they are subject to the privacy policies of the respective third parties:

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
