- What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file or identifier stored on a computer, tablet, or phone when browsing a site or using an application.
It can, among other things, maintain a session, remember certain preferences, or ensure the functioning of technical features.
Similar technologies may also be used, including:
- browser local storage;
- session identifiers;
- certain technical scripts;
- measurement or advertising pixels;
- tags used to measure certain interactions.
These technologies do not all serve the same function and are not subject to the same rules.
Some are essential for the Service to function. Others are optional and may require the user's prior consent.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies and Technologies
AfterMyLife may use cookies or similar technologies that are essential to:
- enable website navigation and operation;
- maintain a user session;
- authenticate application users;
- protect accounts and prevent certain abusive uses;
- ensure form security;
- remember essential operating preferences;
- store cookie choices when a preference management tool is used;
- ensure technical continuity and the proper functioning of certain features.
These technologies are used to the extent necessary for the provision of the requested service and its security.
They are not intended to create advertising profiles of users.
When legal conditions are met, their use does not require prior consent.
Blocking certain strictly necessary technologies may prevent the application or certain features from working correctly.
- Audience Measurement and Performance Cookies
Audience analysis tools can measure, for example:
- the number of visits;
- pages viewed;
- navigation between different sections;
- certain technical errors;
- overall site performance.
These tools should not be confused with technical logs essential for server security or operation.
Google Analytics is used for audience measurement.
If AfterMyLife subsequently uses optional analytics cookies or trackers, these will be presented with their purposes, provider, duration, and applicable consent procedures.
No optional analytics tool should be activated before the information and choice mechanisms required by applicable law are in place.
- Advertising Cookies and Campaign Measurement
Advertising technologies can be used to, among other things:
- measure certain conversions;
- understand campaign effectiveness;
- attribute certain visits to an advertisement;
- build or use advertising audiences, where legally permitted.
AfterMyLife may consider the future use of solutions such as Meta Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag on certain public pages of its site.
These tools are not considered active merely because they are mentioned in this Policy.
If they are actually installed, their purposes, providers, categories of data processed, concerned countries, and consent procedures must be indicated before their activation.
When consent is required, these technologies are not loaded until it is obtained.
AfterMyLife intends to limit advertising devices to environments where their use is appropriate and legally authorized.
Pages containing private content, beneficiary areas, death verification procedures, and pathways dealing with particularly sensitive information are not intended to receive advertising trackers.
- Third-Party Cookies and Services
Certain features may depend on external technical providers.
When a third-party service uses cookies or other technologies on the user's device, AfterMyLife verifies their necessity, purposes, and applicable legal conditions.
Payment, communication, security, or support services may have their own technical mechanisms.
Their use does not automatically mean that advertising or analytical cookies are placed on the AfterMyLife site.
Links to external sites, particularly social networks, do not necessarily result in cookies being placed by these sites unless the user visits them or active third-party content is loaded.
- Distinction Between Public Site and Application
The primary function of the public AfterMyLife site is to present the Service, its features, pricing, and access methods.
The application allows users to manage their account, content, and relationships with designated recipients.
These two environments may use different technologies.
Cookies necessary for authentication, session protection, and application security should not be equated with marketing cookies.
AfterMyLife ensures that the use of optional trackers is limited in areas where personal or sensitive information is processed.
- Consent for Optional Cookies
When applicable law requires consent for a category of cookies or trackers, AfterMyLife obtains this consent before their activation.
Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and expressed by an appropriate positive action.
Simply continuing to browse, a lack of reaction, or a pre-checked box do not, by themselves, constitute valid consent when applicable rules require a positive manifestation.
Refusal of optional cookies should not prevent access to features that do not depend on them.
When multiple optional categories are used, users must be able to express their choices according to the methods provided by the preference management tool.
Consent can be withdrawn in accordance with applicable rules.
- Preference Management
When optional cookies are used, AfterMyLife provides a mechanism allowing users to:
- accept the proposed optional categories;
- refuse them;
- customize their choices when relevant;
- modify or withdraw their consent later.
Choices can be stored using a strictly necessary technical identifier to avoid unnecessarily re-requesting the same preferences.
The preference management features described here must correspond to those actually available.
- Managing Cookies from the Browser
Browsers generally allow you to view, block, or delete cookies stored on a device.
Settings vary depending on the browser and its version.
Deleting cookies may result in logging out, losing certain preferences, or needing to re-authenticate.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain features from working.
Browser settings do not necessarily replace the consent mechanisms that the site must provide for optional technologies.
- Detailed List of Cookies and Trackers
The AfterMyLife website and application use cookies strictly necessary for their operation, particularly for session management, authentication, security, and certain technical preferences.
AfterMyLife uses CookieYes to inform visitors about the use of cookies and allow them to manage their preferences.
The public site also plans to use Google Analytics, an audience measurement service provided by Google, to understand site traffic and usage and improve its features.
Audience measurement cookies are optional. When used, they are only placed after obtaining the user's prior consent, in accordance with applicable law.
Visitors can accept or refuse optional cookies and change their choices at any time using the CookieYes preference management tool.
Cookies strictly necessary for the operation of the site and application remain active regardless of preferences for optional cookies.
- Technical Data and Server Logs
Regardless of cookies stored on a device, the use of the site and application may generate technical logs.
These logs may contain, in particular, the IP address, date and time of requests, certain browser information, requested resources, and security events.
They are used to the extent necessary for the operation, maintenance, protection of the Service, and investigation of incidents.
Technical and security logs containing IP addresses are retained for 12 months, as indicated in the Privacy Policy.
- Retention Periods
The duration of a cookie depends on its function.
Some cookies are deleted when the browser is closed or at the end of a session. Others may be retained for a specified period to maintain a preference or technical function.
Information related to consent may be retained for the period necessary to manage preferences and demonstrate compliance with legal obligations.
- Hosting and Technical Providers
The public AfterMyLife site and application are hosted on infrastructure located in Frankfurt, Germany.
Object storage for encrypted application files is provided by Exoscale in Switzerland, with infrastructure in Geneva and replication in Zurich.
Professional email services are notably provided by Tizoo Sàrl.
Other providers may be involved for transactional emails, newsletters, payments, or certain technical functions, as indicated in the Privacy Policy.
These services do not necessarily involve placing cookies on the visitor's device.
Any international transfers related to tracking technologies are described when they are actually concerned.
- Personal Data Protection
When cookies or other technologies process personal data, the principles and rights described in AfterMyLife's Privacy Policy apply.
Data subjects may, in particular, request information about the processing concerning them and exercise the rights provided by applicable law.
For any questions:
- Modifications to This Policy
AfterMyLife may modify this Policy based on changes in the technologies used, providers, features, or legal requirements.
When a modification implies new processing requiring consent, the necessary information and consent collection measures are implemented before the activation of this processing.
The update date is listed on this page.
