1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed in your browser when you visit a website. It allows the site to remember your actions and preferences (language, login details, cart, display settings…) for a set period, so that you do not have to enter them again on each visit.
2. Which cookies do we use?
Pixidia uses several categories of cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies are placed without your consent; the others are placed only after you choose.
Strictly necessary
Cookies that are essential for the site to work (session, security, language and consent choices). Without them, the site cannot function.
| Service | Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pixidia Consent | pixidia_consent | 6 months | Remember your cookie choices |
| WordPress | wordpress_logged_in | 14 days | Account authentication |
| CSRF | pix_csrf | 1 hour | Protection against CSRF attacks |
| Pixidia | pix_lang_manual | 1 year | Language you explicitly chose |
| Session | pix_sess | Session | Keep your session active |
Preferences
Remembers your search filters and dark mode.
| Service | Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pixidia | pix_theme | 1 year | Light / dark mode |
| Pixidia | pix_filters | 30 days | Latest search filters |
Google Translate
Allows Google Translate only. Google receives the text of the pages to be translated and technical information, and may use cookies. Your other choices remain independent.
| Service | Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Translate | googtrans | Session | Current translation language |
Google cookies and technologies | Depends on the Google service | Processing and operation of the translation; see the Google policy below |
Statistics
Helps us understand which content you like so that we can improve Pixidia. Two tools are used: Google Analytics 4 across the whole site (controller: Google Ireland Ltd), and PostHog in your personal space (planner, profile, favorites, trip log, notifications, Discover, Pixi), on itineraries, on magazine articles, and on the home page and on Pixi Activités, hosted in the European Union. We use PostHog to understand where you get stuck in the product: it may record the flow of your browsing, and it never captures what you type on your keyboard.
| Service | Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | _ga | 13 months | Pseudonymous visitor identifier (GA4 audience measurement) |
| Google Analytics 4 | _ga_* | 13 months | GA4 session tracking (pixidia.com stream) |
| PostHog | ph_*_posthog | 12 months | Visit and session identifier for product usage measurement (controller: PostHog, Inc.; data hosted in Frankfurt) |
| PostHog | ph_*_posthog (local storage) | Until cleared | Queue of measurements and state of the features enabled for you. This is browser local storage, not a cookie: it is never sent automatically with your requests |
Marketing
Enables Google Ads advertising measurement. Important: our partner links (Viator, Discover Cars, Airalo for the eSIM guide) work normally whatever your choice: their tracking happens on the partner side, not on Pixidia.
| Service | Cookie | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | _gcl_au | 90 days | Google Ads advertising conversion measurement (controller: Google Ireland Ltd). Placed only when an Ads campaign is active. |
3. Who processes this data?
Automatic translation is a separate Google service. It is turned on in the language selector or in your preferences, and can be turned off in the same places. Google receives the text of the pages to be translated and technical information, and processing may take place outside the European Union. Read Google's privacy policy.
The Urbanist typeface is, on some pages (magazine articles and the Pixi Activités page), loaded from Google servers (Google Fonts) before you make any choice. Google then receives your IP address.
The data controller is Pixidia SAS. We use the following service providers:
| Processor | Role | Data location |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger International Ltd | Hosting of the site and the database | European Union |
| Google Ireland Ltd | Site audience measurement (Google Analytics 4), under the "Statistics" category | European Union, with possible transfers to the United States covered by standard contractual clauses and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework |
| PostHog, Inc. | Product usage measurement and session recording in your personal space, on itineraries, on magazine articles, on the home page and on Pixi Activités, under the "Statistics" category | Frankfurt, Germany (dedicated European instance). PostHog, Inc. is a U.S. company. |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Content delivery network and site security; anti-bot check (Turnstile) for magazine search and Pixi Activités; technical routing of PostHog measurements through the subdomain e.pixidia.com | Global network. For this routing, Cloudflare may process data from dynamically assigned locations, without lasting storage of the content of the measurements |
No data from these cookies is sold or passed to a third party for advertising purposes. Partner links (Viator, Discover Cars, Airalo for the eSIM guide) are handled separately: Pixidia places no partner cookies. After you click, the partner's site places its own cookies, under its own policy, whatever your choices here.
Pixidia counts clicks on its partner links on the server side, without cookies. It records one total per day, per partner, per page, and per language. It records no IP address and no identifier. These totals are kept for 13 months. If you have accepted the "Statistics" category, Google Analytics also receives a click event.
4. Retention period
Your consent is valid for 6 months. After that, we will ask for your preferences again. Analytics cookies are limited to 13 months, in line with CNIL recommendations. PostHog session recordings are kept for 30 days, and usage measurements for 12 months.
5. Your rights
You can change your preferences at any time through the Cookie preferences link at the bottom of every page, or directly below. For any GDPR request (access, rectification, erasure, portability):
