This Cookies Policy explains how The Rustic Chalet (therusticchalet.com) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function correctly, remember your preferences, or — on some sites — track your activity for analytics or advertising.
2. Who we are
The Rustic Chalet Entreprise Individuelle (EI), registered with the Chambre de Métiers et de l’Artisanat de région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur SIRET: 803 974 500 00016 9 Chemin Des Fornets, Saint-Jean-De-Belleville, 73440, France dean@therusticchalet.com
See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data more broadly.
3. Cookies we currently use
At present, this website uses only strictly necessary cookies — the kind required for the site to function. These do not require your consent under French and EU law (CNIL guidance on the ePrivacy Directive), but we disclose them here for transparency:
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress session/functional cookies | Keep the site running correctly (navigation, security, form handling) | Session or short-term |
| Caching cookies | Improve page load speed for returning visitors | Varies |
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or social media tracking cookies. We do not sell or share any data collected via cookies with third parties.
4. If this changes
If we introduce tools that use non-essential cookies in future — for example, Google Analytics to understand site traffic, embedded Google Maps or YouTube videos, or social media widgets — we will:
- Update this policy to name the specific cookies, their purpose, and their duration.
- Display a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies before they are set, in line with CNIL requirements.
- Only activate those cookies after you’ve given consent (except where a cookie is strictly necessary).
5. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or be notified when a cookie is set. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how this website functions.
Common browser cookie settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Cookie data that identifies you (directly or indirectly) is personal data under GDPR. You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of this data. See our Privacy Policy for full details on exercising your rights, or contact us at dean@therusticchalet.com.
