If you wish to continue using ipernity, you have to allow cookies, or stop using ipernity.

All cookies used at ipernity are only used to serve the user to get things done: sign in, display, etc.

There are also no real change to what already were in use. It is only the EU regulations that force us to give that warning from now on.

Please read this: www.ipernity.com/about/you

Also mentioned on 2021-02-26 Club News:

"Due to a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice, the cookie guidelines have become stricter. We are therefore unfortunately obliged to now also introduce the user-unfriendly opt-in procedure for the approval of cookies before using our website. We ask for your understanding."

Streng genommen ist das so übrigens imho noch nicht ausreichend, dass man lediglich der Verwendung von Cookies generell zustimmen kann. Der User muss imho auswählen können, welche Arten von Cookies er zustimmt - also ob er nur erforderliche Cookies akzeptieren möchte oder auch solche, die für Marketingzwecke etc. verwendet werden. Wobei ich nicht weiß, ob ipernity überhaupt derartige Cookies für Marketingzwecke verwendet, oder nur solche, welche für den Betrieb der Seite tatsächlich technisch zwingend erforderlich sind.

Und der Besucher muss auch die Verwendung von Cookies aktiv ablehnen können, außer denen, die für den Betrieb der Seite wirklich und zwingend notwendig sind. Ein Cookie, der für einen Login benötigt wird, ist zum Beispiel nicht erforderlich, wenn man die Seite auch nicht eingeloggt nutzen kann.

Although the ipernity cookie info is out of date, the cookies are still used only to help the user:

- to recognize the language and time zone used
- to recognize you as a user of the service
- for other user preference

".. these Cookies save information related to the browsing of your computer on our site (the pages consulted, the date and time of consultation, etc.) that are remembered for your following visits. They contain the most recent information you have provided to us. This way when visiting us next time you will not need to fill out the proposed form again."

If you are an ipernity user, you must accept cookies.

By blocking cookies you will not be able to sign in.

So, what is not up to date is the number of them. During ima in control, there are now more than just four cookies. Even up to 26 (or more) used to make the pages run nicer and smoother. There are for example several cookies used on 'Display' settings:

And for example one to remember if user has read the breaking news.

None of the cookies are used for advertising. Neither given to any third party.

However, if user decides to embed some contents on the post, one then uses also external cookies as well. For example embedding Deezer onto image caption then also invites some Deezer cookies.
