This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Toussi Investment & Innovation SAS uses on the Evidence Mastery website, why, and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is used.
Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period). They can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the page (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — may serve analogous purposes. This policy covers all such technologies used on evidencemastery.com.
These cookies are essential for the website and its tools to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under CNIL guidance and Article 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés.
| Cookie name | Type | Expiry | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| em_suite (em_dev on dev) |
Essential | Session | PHP session cookie. Stores only a session identifier used to maintain your authenticated state between page loads. No personal data is stored in the cookie itself — session data is held server-side. Expires when you close your browser or after a period of inactivity. |
| em_anon_[hash] | Essential | 30 days | Anonymous usage quota cookie. Contains only a randomly generated cryptographic token. Used solely to enforce the daily shared quota for anonymous users of the EvidenceAi™ tools, preventing abuse of the free-access pool. Contains no personal data. Clearing your cookies resets your anonymous session. |
| PHPSESSID | Essential | Session | Standard PHP session identifier. May be set on some pages before the named session cookie is initialised. Session-duration only. No personal data stored in the cookie. |
The em_anon_[hash] cookie name includes a hash of the environment path (/dev or /), ensuring development and production sessions never interfere with each other.
We do not currently set any non-essential first-party functional cookies (such as language preference cookies or display preference cookies). If we introduce such cookies in the future, this policy will be updated before they are deployed.
The following third-party services are embedded on one or more pages of the website and may set their own cookies or similar technologies. These are not set by Toussi Investment & Innovation SAS and are governed by the respective third parties’ own privacy policies.
| Provider | Type | Pages affected | Purpose and policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Fonts fonts.googleapis.com |
Functional | All pages | Typography service. When your browser loads a page, it sends a request to Google’s servers to retrieve the font files. Your IP address is transmitted to Google as part of this request. Google may set a cache cookie in your browser. Governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. |
| YouTube youtube.com |
Third-party | Learn page only | Video embedding. YouTube (Google LLC) may set cookies when you interact with or play an embedded video. These may include tracking and analytics cookies. Governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. You can control YouTube cookies through your browser settings. |
| Stripe stripe.com / js.stripe.com |
Essential | Checkout pages only | Payment processing. Stripe may set cookies and use local storage for fraud prevention, security, and payment flow continuity. These are strictly necessary for payment processing and cannot be disabled on checkout pages. Governed by Stripe’s Privacy Policy. |
Note on Google Fonts: Under CNIL guidance (January 2022 decision), dynamically loading Google Fonts without prior consent may constitute a GDPR violation. We are monitoring regulatory developments and may switch to self-hosted fonts if required by future CNIL decisions.
For absolute clarity, the following technologies and services are not used on evidencemastery.com:
Evidence Mastery does not display advertising and no advertising networks have access to any data from this Platform. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
You have several options for controlling cookies:
All major browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Note that blocking all cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Platform and from using the anonymous quota system.
You can prevent your browser from loading Google Fonts by using a browser extension such as uBlock Origin, which allows you to block requests to fonts.googleapis.com. Pages will still function normally using system fonts as fallbacks.
On the Learn page, you can prevent YouTube from setting cookies by not interacting with the embedded video player, or by blocking youtube.com in your browser’s cookie settings. The page content is accessible without playing any video.
If you wish to reset your anonymous usage quota, you may delete the em_anon_[hash] cookie from your browser. A new token will be issued on your next visit and your daily quota will reset.
Our use of cookies is governed by the following legal framework:
Because this website deploys only strictly necessary first-party cookies (plus optional third-party elements that you may control through browser settings), no cookie consent banner is legally required under current CNIL guidance. This position is reviewed periodically as regulatory guidance evolves.
We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new technologies, change our service providers, or if applicable law or regulatory guidance requires it. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made.
Material changes will be signalled by a notice on the Platform dashboard or by email to registered users.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or similar technologies, please contact us:
For concerns about third-party cookies set by Google or Stripe, please refer to their respective privacy policies or contact them directly. For complaints about cookie practices in France, you may contact the CNIL at cnil.fr.
