1. Comments

When you leave a comment on the website, the data entered in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser’s user agent are collected to help detect spam comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here : https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.

This data is used solely for display, moderation, and spam prevention purposes. It is never sold or shared.

Legal basis: your consent, which you give by posting a comment.

2. “Likes”

The “Like” button displayed below articles is provided by Jetpack, a service of Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. To use it, you must be logged in to a WordPress.com account. Your name and profile picture will then appear publicly among the people who have liked the article.

Ces données sont traitées par Automattic selon sa propre politique de confidentialité : https://automattic.com/privacy/.

3. Direct Contact

No automated contact form is currently provided. If you contact me by email, your message and email address are kept only for the time necessary to reply. They are never shared with third parties.

4. Cookies

The website uses only technical cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of WordPress, including:

• session cookies for navigation,
• cookies related to comments (if you select “remember me”),
• cookies from the TranslatePress translation plugin to remember the language you selected.

No advertising or marketing tracking cookies are used. These cookies do not require prior consent, as they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website.

5. Embedded Content (YouTube)

YouTube videos are embedded using “enhanced privacy mode.” According to YouTube, no information about visitors is collected until the video is played.

Once played, YouTube videos function as if you were visiting the YouTube website directly. Google may then collect certain data such as your IP address, device type, browser, and interactions, and place its own cookies.

The site Le journal de Lessien has no control over the data collected by YouTube through these embedded contents.

6. Statistics and Audience Measurement

The site uses Jetpack Stats, an audience measurement tool provided by Automattic (WordPress.com). It collects technical information, such as your IP address, browser, pages visited, and referring website, in order to produce aggregated traffic statistics (number of visits, pages viewed). It does not use advertising cookies, and this data is processed on Automattic’s servers.

Legal basis: the publisher’s legitimate interest in understanding traffic to her website.

7. Data Sharing and Transfers

The personal data collected on this blog is neither sold, exchanged, nor shared with third parties. The only data transmitted automatically is sent through the embedded services you use, such as YouTube, Gravatar, or Jetpack.

These services are provided by US-based companies (Google and Automattic). The data they collect may therefore be transferred outside the European Union, in accordance with the safeguards provided by these companies.
