Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. It typically allows the site to remember your preferences or analyze your browsing behavior.

2. Cookies Used on This Website

This website is a simple static site that does not place any cookie by default. A single tool is used, and only with your consent:

Google Analytics: anonymized audience measurement (pages viewed, referral source, device used), to understand how the website is visited. Cookies placed by Google Analytics are only set after you click "Accept" in the banner shown on your first visit. If you click "Decline", or make no choice at all, no analytics cookie is placed.

The website also counts its visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, without any cookie: nothing is stored on your device and you are not recognized from one visit to the next. This counting therefore does not require your consent.

No advertising cookie is used on this website.

3. Third-Party Cookies

The links to Instagram and Facebook on this website redirect you to those external platforms, which may place their own cookies once you are on their site. David Mertens has no control over these cookies: please consult those services' own privacy policies for more information.

4. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can change your mind at any time with the button above, or by clearing this site's data from your browser: the consent banner will reappear on your next visit. You can also view or delete cookies already present on your device from your browser's settings:

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

5. Updates to This Policy

This cookie policy may be changed at any time, in particular if a new tool were to be added to the website. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page.
