What is a cookie

A cookie is a text file placed on your device when visiting a site. It lets the site recognize your device on return visits.

Cookies used on this site

No cookies

The site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.

Audience measurement

The site uses PostHog in cookieless mode. To count visitors, PostHog computes a code on its servers from your IP address and your browser, with a key that changes every day. Your IP address is used for this calculation and is not kept. The same person cannot be followed from one day to the next, and we never know who you are.

We see: pages viewed, the site you came from, your time zone (which shows your region of the world), your type of device and browser, and clicks on contact, language, LinkedIn and fractalapp.ca links. No session recording, nothing you type.

The data is processed by PostHog, Inc. in the United States and kept for one year. See their privacy policy.

Third-party tools

Beyond PostHog, the site embeds no advertising pixels, social network widgets or other trackers.

Managing cookies

The site sets no cookies. If your browser sends the Do Not Track signal, your visit is not counted. To exclude your browser from statistics, open cfofractal.ca/?notrack=1 once: this stores a single setting in your browser, at your request.
