Version 1.0 | Document ID: CP-20251106-v1
Last updated: November 6, 2025
Applicable to: Official FeedCentral instance at feed.benzoogataga.com only. Third-party forks must provide their own cookie policies.
FeedCentral uses only essential cookies required for the service to function. We do NOT use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. Your browsing behavior is not tracked or sold to anyone.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and login status.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies FeedCentral uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
In accordance with CNIL guidelines (Délibération n° 2020-091 du 17 septembre 2020):
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They cannot be disabled.

FeedCentral explicitly does NOT use:
Advertising Cookies - We don't show ads, so we don't use advertising cookies
Analytics/Tracking Cookies - We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party tracking
Social Media Cookies - No social media tracking pixels or buttons that track you
Cross-Site Tracking - We don't track your browsing on other websites
Personal Tracking - Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights operate without cookies and collect only anonymous, aggregated metrics
Note on Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights for anonymous performance monitoring. These tools are privacy-first and don't use cookies, don't track personal data, and don't require cookie consent under GDPR.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:
Chrome: Cookie settings in Chrome
Firefox: Cookie settings in Firefox
Safari: Cookie settings in Safari
Edge: Cookie settings in Edge
Important: If you block or delete essential cookies (authentication cookies), you will not be able to log in to FeedCentral or use account-specific features. Functional cookies can be blocked without breaking the service, but you'll lose personalization.
In addition to cookies, we use browser Local Storage and Session Storage to store:
This data is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers (unless you're logged in and save preferences to your account).
You can clear Local Storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive:
Consent: We only use essential cookies that don't require consent. For functional cookies (theme preferences), your continued use of the site implies consent.
Transparency: This policy provides clear information about all cookies we use.
Control: You have full control over cookies through your browser settings.
Because we don't use tracking or advertising cookies, we don't need to show you a cookie consent banner on every visit.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through the Service.
This Cookie Policy complies with:
