This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are placed on your device when you visit Rhou Thann (the “Site”), why they are used, and how you can control them. It works together with our Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet by a web browser. Cookies can be:

| Persistent cookies | Remain on your device after you close the browser, usually to remember preferences. |
| First‑party cookies | Set by the website you are visiting (Rhou Thann). |
| Third‑party cookies | Set by external services (e.g., advertising networks). Rhou Thann does not use third‑party tracking cookies. |

4. Why We Use These Cookies
- Security & authentication – To keep admin sessions safe and to protect the Site from automated attacks.
- Functionality – To enable core WordPress features such as commenting, user preferences, and form submissions.
- Performance & protection – If you use Cloudflare (or a similar CDN), the minimal cookie helps mitigate DDoS attacks and improve load times.
5. Your Choices
You have the right to control cookies on your device.
| Action | How to do it |
|---|---|
| Accept all cookies (default) | Simply continue using the Site; the essential cookies are automatically set. |
| Block or delete cookies | Adjust your browser settings: • Chrome → Settings → Privacy & security → Cookies and other site data • Firefox → Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data • Safari → Preferences → Privacy • Edge → Settings → Cookies and site permissions |
| Clear existing cookies | Use your browser’s “Clear browsing data” function, selecting “Cookies and other site data.” |
| Disable specific cookies | Some browsers allow you to block individual cookie names. Look for “site settings” or “manage exceptions.” |
Because the Site only uses essential cookies, blocking them may impair functionality (e.g., you won’t be able to log in or post comments).
6. Do‑Not‑Track Signals
Rhou Thann does not currently respond to Do‑Not‑Track (DNT) headers. The minimal set of essential cookies will still be set to keep the Site operational.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When I do, I will post the revised version on this page and change the “Effective date” at the top. Continued use of the Site after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
