What we do not set
- No third-party advertising cookies.
- No social-media pixels (Meta, X, LinkedIn).
- No analytics SDKs (Google Analytics, Plausible, etc.).
- No fingerprinting libraries.
Because we set only strictly-necessary cookies and an explicit-opt-in newsletter token, Étude does not display a cookie banner — under Recital 30 GDPR and Article 5(3) ePrivacy Directive, strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent.
