Privacy Policy

Introduction

The website lyon-tour-guide.com, operated under the name Lyon Tour Guide, is committed to protecting the privacy of its visitors. This privacy policy describes the data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

Data We Collect

We collect a minimal amount of data in the course of operating this site. The information gathered may include:

• Browsing data: anonymised IP address, browser type, pages visited, and visit duration, collected through Cloudflare Web Analytics.
• Technical cookies: small files stored on your device to remember your preferences (such as cookie consent). No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used.

How We Use Your Data

The collected data is used solely to:

• Understand how visitors use the site in order to improve its content and usability.
• Ensure the proper technical operation of the site.
• Maintain security and prevent abuse.

We do not sell, rent, or share any personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.

Session Analytics

To understand how visitors move through lyon-tour-guide.com — which pages they read, in what order, and where they leave — we run our own self-hosted, cookieless session analytics. No cookie is set and no cross-site identifier is used: a random session id is held in your browser's sessionStorage and is discarded the moment you close the tab.

For each visit we record the sequence of pages viewed, the time spent on each page, the country the request comes from (derived from your IP address, which is then discarded and never stored), your device type, operating system and browser family (along with the browser's user-agent string, which those families are derived from and which we keep to tell real visitors apart from automated traffic), the referring website (host only, never the full URL), and any campaign parameters (utm_*) present in the link you arrived through. This data contains no name, email, or other directly identifying information, is stored on our own systems, and is never sold or shared with third parties.

To count unique visitors without a cookie, we also store a daily-rotating one-way signature derived from your IP address, browser, and this site's domain. Only this salted digest is kept — never your raw IP address — and because it is regenerated every day it cannot link your visits from one day to the next.

Third-Party Services

This site uses Cloudflare for hosting, content delivery, and traffic analytics. Cloudflare may collect certain technical data as part of its services. To learn more, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy .
