This Cookie Policy explains how Cure51 uses trackers on its website dedicated to the stories and experiences of patients and carers. Whether you are a Visitor (content consumer) or a Contributor (co-creator), your browsing involves the use of certain cookies.
As this site operates as a media platform, Cure51 does not use its own advertising cookies. However, the site relies on essential third-party cookies for two reasons:
To enable you to read and view embedded multimedia content (videos, podcasts, social media).
To help us measure audience figures and improve the site’s performance (this statistical data is retained for a maximum of 13 months).
You remain in control of your browsing: you can configure your browser at any time to accept, adjust or refuse these cookies. If you have any questions, please contact our DPO at dpo@cure51.com.

Welcome to the Cure51 website, dedicated to the stories and experiences of patients and carers.
Your privacy. At Cure51, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how we collect and use your data. This policy explains how we use cookies and other tracking technologies when you browse this site, which acts as a platform hosting content co-created by Cure51 and patients.
Who does this policy apply to? This policy applies to all users of the site:
Visitors: internet users who browse the site to read, listen to or watch testimonials and editorial content (articles, videos, podcasts);
Contributors: patients and carers who have co-created this content with the Cure51 team and who visit the site to view or share it.
Accepting cookies whilst browsing is entirely separate from the agreement to co-create and publish your image, which requires specific authorisation.
Your browsing. By continuing to browse our site, you accept the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. We encourage you to read it carefully to understand how you can manage your preferences.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are online identifiers stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit our website. Although they play a vital role in websites, they can store a large amount of data, enough to potentially identify a user without their consent. They can recognise your device, remember your preferences and provide essential features for the website to function properly.
Cookies strictly necessary for the website to function properly
These cookies are essential for the user to navigate the website and use its features. These are generally first-party session cookies. Although it is not necessary to obtain consent for these cookies, it is advisable to explain to the user what they do and why they are necessary.
Preference cookies / functionality cookies
These cookies allow a website to remember choices made by the user in the past. For example, they allow the website to remember the user’s preferred language and region, and to store their username and password for automatic login.
Statistical cookies / performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how a user interacts with a website: this information is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Their sole purpose is to improve the website’s functionality. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services, provided that these cookies are intended for the exclusive use of the owner of the website being visited.
Marketing cookies
These cookies track online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant adverts or limit the number of times a user sees an advert. These cookies may share this information with other organisations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies that almost always come from third parties.
Third-party cookies designed to improve your site’s interactivity
Third-party cookies are text files placed on a user’s device by a domain other than that of the website they are visiting. They are created by external services integrated into the site and are often used to improve the interactivity of the pages. These cookies enable the site to rely on features and services provided by other platforms, thereby enhancing the user experience.
What types of cookies does this website use?
As this website is primarily a “media” platform dedicated to the consumption of multimedia content produced by Cure51 (text, video, audio), Cure51 does not directly use its own marketing cookies.
However, our website relies on third-party services that may set cookies to function optimally:
Embedded content and social sharing (media): to enable you to view co-created content (interviews, reports on sport or science), we use third-party platforms. Third-party sites such as YouTube (for videos), X or the share buttons for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X may set their own cookies when you interact with this content;
Analytics and performance: we use audience measurement tools (such as Google Analytics or Matomo) to measure website activity, understand how Visitors and Contributors interact with published stories, and thereby adapt and improve our website;
Hosting and design: third-party providers who manage the hosting and structure of our website may also use technical cookies.
How long are cookies stored?
Statistics and audience data. The information stored on your device that enables us to identify you for the purposes of audience statistics is retained for a maximum period of thirteen (13) months.
User experience. Raw traffic data associated with an identifier, which is necessary for the continuous improvement of the website, is also retained for thirteen (13) months. After this period, it is deleted or anonymised. This retention period is not automatically extended when you visit the website again.
How to manage cookies?
Your choice. Even though your computers, smartphones and other devices used to access the internet have browser software that accepts cookies on websites by default, you remain in control of the installation of these cookies as you can configure your browser software to:
Accept or refuse cookies on the website;
Systematically refuse all cookies;
Request that your consent be required for each cookie you encounter whilst browsing the internet.
Risk of impaired functionality. By choosing to block technical and functional cookies, you may find that your browsing experience on the Website and/or the use of certain features is impaired.
What are my rights and how can I exercise them?
Your rights. In addition to your right to withdraw your consent at any time to the placement of specific cookies on your device, you have the right to access, rectify, erase or transfer your data, or you may object to the processing of your data (or request that it be restricted). These rights may be exercised by post to 81, rue des Archives, 75003, Paris, or by email to dpo@cure51.com, provided you can verify your identity.
Privacy Policy. For further details, please refer to this Website’s Privacy Policy.
