What Legal Mentions Are Required on a Website?

Depending on your activity, the law requires specific legal mentions. Incomplete legal mentions (e.g., not indicating the purpose of data collection, ensuring data recipient countries are authorized by the CNIL) can expose your company to penalties.

Dreyfus & associates help you stay compliant and offer assistance with:

Ensuring transparency by including necessary information, such as the identity of the person responsible for the information published online.

Terms and Conditions

General terms and conditions serve to frame the relationship between the client and the seller or service provider, but they also serve to frame the use of a service. It is strongly recommended to establish clear and precise conditions in order to set up effective legal security and thus prevent any disputes.

A cookie is a file that tracks and analyzes a user’s activity on the Internet, including their internet searches and the websites and applications they have visited. If your website collects these cookies, you are subject to the legal obligations in force regarding data collection.

These obligations include, among other things, obtaining the user’s consent to collect these cookies, explaining the purpose and use of them, and finally, providing the user with a means to refuse this collection. This cookie management policy is subject to strict provisions set out by the CNIL (French data protection authority).

Privacy Policy

French and European legislation impose obligations related to the collection of personal data. Operating a website for commercial purposes often leads to the collection of such data, particularly through cookies. It is therefore necessary to specify, in a privacy policy, what measures are being taken to comply with the legislation in force, notably the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
