Dedale
Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Dedale Intelligence SAS (Dedale, we, us, our) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.dedale.com (the Website), including local storage and session storage, and how visitors can manage their choices.
For information about how we process personal data more generally, including your rights and how to contact us, see our Privacy Policy at www.dedale.com/legal/privacy-policy.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a visitor accesses a website. They can enable core website functions, retain choices, measure use of the website and support advertising.
We also use two related technologies. Local storage keeps information in the browser until it is cleared. Session storage keeps information for the duration of the browsing session and is normally deleted when the tab or the browser is closed.
In this Policy, the word cookies covers all three unless stated otherwise.
2. How we use these technologies
We group them in three categories. Strictly necessary technologies are required to provide the Website, protect it against fraud or abuse, or remember your privacy choices. Audience measurement technologies help us understand how visitors use the Website and how it performs. Advertising technologies help us measure our advertising campaigns and, where applicable, deliver or measure advertising on other platforms.
Except where a technology is strictly necessary, we use it only after obtaining your consent where consent is required under applicable law.
3. Managing your choices
When you first access the Website, our cookie banner lets you accept, refuse or make granular choices about non-essential technologies. Nothing other than strictly necessary technologies is placed or read before you have made that choice.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the Cookie settings link in our footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Disabling strictly necessary technologies may affect the availability, security or proper functioning of parts of the Website.
We keep your cookie choices for six months, after which you will be asked again.

PostHog data is hosted in the European Union. We use it to measure a limited number of named interactions, such as a click on a guide download button or the submission of a contact form, so that we can understand which content is useful. We do not record keystrokes, and we do not record browsing sessions as video on this Website.
If you refuse audience measurement. We still count your visit, but anonymously and without placing or reading anything on your device. PostHog generates a temporary identifier on its servers from your IP address, your browser type and the website you are visiting, combined with a secret value that changes every day and is then deleted. This identifier cannot be reversed to identify you, cannot be linked to your activity on other websites, and cannot be linked to your own visits from one day to the next. We use it for the same audience measurement described above, meaning visits, pages viewed and the limited named interactions listed in this section. You can object to this measurement at any time by writing to privacy@dedale.com.
C. Advertising and embedded video, consent required
- _gcl_au (Google Ads). Measures whether an advertisement led to a visit or a conversion. Cookie, up to 90 days.
- _gcl_ls (Google Ads). Same purpose, kept in local storage. Local storage, until cleared.
- YouTube cookies and similar technologies (Google). Our videos are embedded in privacy enhanced mode, so nothing is placed on your device when a page loads. If you start playing a video, YouTube sets cookies and similar technologies to remember your playback preferences and to measure views. They are not used to personalise advertising. Up to 24 months depending on the technology.
If you play an embedded YouTube video, Google may receive your IP address, information about your device and browser, and information about your interaction with the video. This happens only once you start playback.
5. Providers and international transfers
The providers listed above may process information on our behalf or for their own purposes, depending on the service and its settings. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on a transfer mechanism recognised by applicable law, such as an adequacy decision or the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
