Cookie Policy
Effective date: September 18, 2026
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file placed on and read from your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. It is used, among other things, to make the website work or to remember your choices.
This policy covers cookies in the strict sense as well as other equivalent trackers: pixels, tags, local storage and session identifiers.
The controller for the processing described below is Homaio Carbon Holdings SA, 35 rue de Courcelles, 75008 Paris (see the Legal Notices).
2. What this website stores, and what it does not
This website uses certain audience measurement, advertising and social network trackers, which are only placed after your consent (see section 3).
Two items, however, are stored on your device without prior consent, both necessary for the website to work:
| Name | Type | Publisher | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
axeptio_cookies, axeptio_authorized_vendors, axeptio_all_vendors | Cookie | Axeptio | Storing your choices regarding trackers | 12 months |
| Section preference | Local storage | HCH | Remembering whether you chose the corporate or the investor section, so you are not asked again on each visit | Until you clear it |
Both are exempt from consent under CNIL guidance, because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you requested. Neither identifies you nor allows you to be tracked across websites.
3. Trackers subject to your consent
The following trackers are only placed after your consent, collected purpose by purpose via the Axeptio consent banner:
| Service | Cookies | Purpose | Lifespan | Data location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intercom | intercom-session-[app_id], intercom-id-[app_id] | Customer support (chat) | 1 week to 9 months depending on the cookie | United States |
| PostHog | ph_[project_key]_posthog | Audience measurement / product improvement | 12 months | European Union |
| Google (Analytics/Ads) | _ga, _ga_[id] | Audience measurement / advertising | Maximum 13 months (per CNIL guidance) | United States |
| Meta | _fbp | Advertising | 3 months | United States |
bcookie, li_sugr, UserMatchHistory, lidc | B2B advertising | 1 day to 2 years depending on the cookie | United States | |
| HubSpot | hubspotutk, __hstc | Marketing and visitor tracking | 13 months | United States |
Lifespans shown are these providers' default settings and may be adjusted in our configuration.
You can review and change your choices at any time by clicking the "Manage my cookies" link at the bottom of every page. Refusing is as easy as accepting, and withdrawing your consent takes effect immediately.
Consent management is carried out on our behalf by the Axeptio platform (Axeptio SAS, France).
Transfers outside the European Union relating to these services and the safeguards covering them are described in our Privacy Policy.
4. Third-party services that receive your IP address
Some elements of the website are loaded from third-party servers. This does not place a tracker on your device, but it necessarily discloses your IP address to the provider concerned. We list them for transparency.
| Service | Role | Where the data is located |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services | Website hosting | European Union (Paris) |
| Sanity | Delivery of images and editorial content | European Union (Belgium) |
| Axeptio | Consent banner | European Union |
| Google Fonts | Loading of typefaces | United States |
Transfers outside the European Union and the safeguards covering them are described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Configuring your browser
Independently of the banner, you can configure your browser to accept, refuse or delete cookies. This setting applies to every website you visit and may degrade how some of them work.
