Protection of personal data

The Collectivité européenne d'Alsace is committed to respecting the rules on privacy and the protection of personal data. Accordingly, the Collectivité européenne d'Alsace undertakes to ensure that all processing of personal data complies with the amended 1978 ‘Data Protection Act’ and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), of 27 April 2016 applicable on 25 May 2018.

What personal data are collected?

As part of the use of its website and associated services, Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg (Collectivité européenne d'Alsace) collects personal data. This data comes from the voluntary communication of individuals as part of the use of the site and its services.

However, the Collectivité européenne d'Alsace respects the principle of minimisation imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation, thus limiting itself to the processing of personal data strictly necessary for the fulfilment of the user's requests.

Is there a transfer of the personal data collected?

No data is transferred to third parties.

Who is responsible for data processing?

Président de la Collectivité européenne d'Alsace

Place du Quartier Blanc

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file carrying a unique identifier. It is sent by the site's web servers to the cookie file of the web browser, located on the computer's hard disk. Web servers use cookies stored on browsers to identify and track users.

The French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) defines cookies as all traces deposited and/or read when, for example, a website is consulted, an e-mail is read, or software or a mobile application is installed or used.

Cookies may be temporary or persistent. When it is temporary (known as a ‘session’ cookie), it expires at the end of the user's session, i.e. when the web browser is closed. It is persistent when it remains valid until the set expiry date, unless the user deletes it before then.

How are cookies used?

Cookies do not contain any information that can be used to identify you directly. The Collectivité européenne d'Alsace platform uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • storing the language in which you visit the site
  • storing your acceptance of cookies
  • anonymous feedback on the use of openstreetmap maps

Other cookies are subject to your consent. They enable:

  • anonymous feedback on usage statistics
  • viewing of Youtube videos on the site

Cookies are kept for periods ranging from a few minutes (session cookies) to 13 months, depending on their usefulness and criticality.

How can I activate or deactivate cookies?
