Without them, you could not stay signed in, keep a basket or validate a payment. They are not used to profile you or follow you elsewhere, and are not passed on to anyone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ak-tableau-defilant\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Cookie<\/th>\n<th>What it is for<\/th>\n<th>Duration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>WordPress session<\/td>\n<td>Keep you signed in to your account<\/td>\n<td>The session, or 14 days if you tick \u201cremember me\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ak\u00e8da basket<\/td>\n<td>Keep the items you have chosen<\/td>\n<td>7 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Consent choice<\/td>\n<td>Not ask you the question again on every page<\/td>\n<td>6 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>What is only placed with your agreement<\/h3>\n<p>On your first visit, a banner asks whether you accept two things, <strong>which you can accept or refuse separately<\/strong>.

Your email address may then be passed on <strong>in encrypted and irreversible form<\/strong>, solely to link the sale to a campaign. Meta cannot recover your address from this fingerprint.<\/p>\n<p>Both companies are based in Ireland. Their processing may involve transferring data outside the European Union, governed by the European Commission\u2019s standard contractual clauses and the EU\u2013US Data Privacy Framework.<\/p>\n<h3>Change your mind, at any time<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>\u201cManage my cookies\u201d<\/strong>link at the bottom of every page reopens the choice. A refusal takes effect immediately and takes nothing away from the site: you can read everything, buy everything and subscribe as normal.<\/p>\n<p>We ask you again every six months, and whenever we change tool or purpose.<\/p>\n<p>You can also block these trackers from your browser, or install a blocking extension: the site will keep working.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Who else sees your data<\/h2>\n<p>We neither sell nor rent your data. It is passed only to those who enable us to serve you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Our payment provider<\/strong>, to collect payment for an order. <strong>Ak\u00e8da neither sees nor keeps any bank details<\/strong> : payment takes place with the provider, which only sends us a confirmation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Our hosting provider<\/strong>, which stores the site and its database.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Our email service<\/strong>, for transactional messages and newsletters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Judicial or administrative authorities<\/strong>, upon a lawful request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of these providers may host data outside Benin. We favour those offering equivalent protection guarantees.<\/p>\n<h2>6. What we do not do on behalf of others<\/h2>\n<p>Ak\u00e8da relays calls for applications issued by third-party organisations. <strong>We do not collect any applications on their behalf<\/strong> : our forms prepare your message and send you to the organisation concerned, which then becomes solely responsible for the data you send it.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Your rights<\/h2>\n<p>You have the right to access, rectify, erase, object to, restrict and port your data. You can also set instructions for what happens to it after your death.<\/p>\n<p>To exercise them, write to <strong>akedamedia@gmail.com<\/strong>. We reply within one month.
