Preamble
This Cookie Management Charter (the “Charter”) sets out the manner in which Time‑Capsule.io (the “Service”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It informs Users of the purposes of the cookies, the categories employed, and the legal basis for their deployment, in accordance with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and applicable French law.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Charter, the following terms shall have the meanings set out below:
- Cookie – a small text file placed on a User’s device by a website, storing information about the browsing session.
- Essential (Functional) Cookies – cookies strictly necessary for the Service to operate, including authentication, security, session management, language or privacy preferences.
- Analysis Cookies – cookies used to collect anonymous statistical data for the purpose of improving the Service (e.g., Plausible Analytics).
- Third‑Party Provider Cookies – cookies set by external service providers engaged by the Company (e.g., Stripe, Cloudflare) to deliver specific functionalities.
- User – any natural person who accesses or uses the Service.
Types of Cookies and Their Objectives
1. Functional (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are indispensable for the proper functioning of the Service and cannot be disabled without impairing core features. They enable:
- Session identification and authentication (e.g.,
session-id). - Security mechanisms such as CSRF protection.
- Preservation of language, region, and privacy preferences.
- Maintenance of the user’s login state across pages.
2. Analysis Cookies
The Service employs Plausible Analytics, a privacy‑first, cookie‑less analytics platform that records anonymous usage statistics (page views, navigation paths). No personal identifiers or tracking identifiers are stored.
3. Third‑Party Provider Cookies
We work with the following third‑party providers, each of which may set its own cookies for the purposes indicated:
- Stripe – payment processing; cookies facilitate secure transaction flows.
- Cloudflare – content delivery, DDoS protection, and caching.
- Plausible – analytics (see Section 2).
- Additional partners (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo) may set cookies when embedded content is displayed.
Consent
Essential cookies are exempt from prior consent under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and the ePrivacy Directive; therefore, they are automatically placed on the User’s device. Analysis cookies are optional. By continuing to use the Service, the User provides implied consent to the collection of anonymous analytics data. The User may withdraw consent at any time by disabling the analytics script in the browser or contacting us (see Contact section). Third‑party provider cookies are governed by the respective providers’ privacy policies; the User is encouraged to review those policies.

Users enjoy the following rights concerning their personal data and cookie processing:
- Right of Access – request a copy of the data collected via cookies.
- Right to Rectification – request correction of inaccurate data.
- Right to Erasure – request deletion of personal data where applicable.

Campaign attribution
If you arrive through a tagged link — typically an advertisement, but also a newsletter or a shared
campaign link — we store a single cookie named tc_attr. It records the campaign that brought you,
the page you landed on, the site you came from, and the time you arrived. Where the link carries an
advertising click identifier, that is recorded too, so we can later reconcile a purchase with the
campaign that produced it.
The cookie is first-party and is deleted when you close your browser. Its contents are not sold, and are shared only with our analytics provider named above, and only for measuring which campaigns are worth paying for. Any advertising click identifier stays on our own servers and is not sent to that provider.
Offer links
If you follow a link that carries an offer code, we store a cookie named tc_offer. It holds that
code and the time you followed the link, so the offer can be added to your account once you sign in
— and, for an offer reserved to new accounts, so we can tell that your account was created after you
followed it. The cookie is first-party, is signed so it cannot be altered, and is deleted as soon as
the offer is applied, or after seven days at most.
