Information Collection and Use

We collect personal information when you register on our site and / or when you sign in to your account. The information collected includes your username, your e-mail address and a password. They are used to identify you on the site, secure your account to ensure the confidentiality of your information, and communicate with you as part of our services. Depending on your use of the site, other information will be associated with your account: favorite keywords, sources and products followed, etc. None of this information is shared with a third party.

In addition, whether you are logged in or not, we automatically receive and store anonymous data from your computer and browser, such as your location (country), your configuration (device type, browser type) and the pages you visit on our site. This data is collected via Google Analytics and used to measure traffic on the site and improve the quality of our services.

Finally, third-party sites indexed by ComicArtTracker can also collect information as soon as you view images they host. They can store them in a cookie, combine them with other information that you could have provided elsewhere on other sites, and use them to provide you with personalized content outside of ComicArtTracker (see following chapters).

Use of Cookies

You can refuse our use of cookies at any time. To do this, simply set your browser to limit or exclude the use of cookies by ComicArtTracker, or delete cookies that have already been placed on your computer. However, this may prevent you from using certain features of ComicArtTracker.

You can also disable specific types of cookies as listed below. If you started using certain ComicArtTracker features before this operation, you may need to manually delete the cookies already created.

Essential Cookies

These cookies guarantee the proper functioning of ComicArtTracker and the use of its various functions, in particular the connection to your account and your personal preferences (session cookie). Without these cookies the site can not work properly.

Social Media Cookies

Social media Cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content you find interesting on our Site through third-party social networking and other websites (Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp). These Cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics Cookies collect anonymous information about your use of ComicArtTracker, and enable us to improve the way it works. For example, Analytics Cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on ComicArtTracker and help us record any difficulties you have with the Site. Analytics Cookies allow us to see the overall patterns of usage on the Site, rather than the usage of a single person. We use information from Analytics Cookies to analyze traffic on ComicArtTracker, but we do not examine this information for individually identifying information. By disabling these cookies, site traffic analyses will no longer be as relevant.

Other Third-Party Cookies

Certain sites referenced by ComicArtTracker (auction houses, dealers, artists, etc.) may create their own cookies as soon as you view an image of one of the products they offer. ComicArtTracker has no control over third-party cookies and can not block them on its own, but it is possible for you to setup your browser to ask it to block any third-party cookie (see next section). It will have no negative effect on ComicArtTracker.

Disclosure to third parties

We are the only owners of the information collected on this site. Your personal information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to a third party for any reason without your prior consent. Only anonymized data is shared with Google Analytics, allowing us to use this data to improve the quality of our services.

Protection of personal data

We implement various security measures to protect the security of your personal information. We also protect your data offline. Your password is not stored in our database in its complete form but only in a degraded and ciphered form ('hashcode') which can not in any way allow to reconstitute the initial password, neither by us nor by a third party.

Nevertheless, to avoid any doubt that you may have, we ask you to not use a password for ComicArtTracker which you use on another site, especially an auction website or an e-commerce website.

Right of access to personal data

This site has been declared to the CNIL (The Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés is an independent French administrative regulatory body). In accordance with the French law n°78-17 of January 6, 1978 as modified in 2004, you benefit from a right of access and rectification of all data we have about you. You may delete your account in your settings page.
