Who processes your data
Marly’s Concept, Rue Xavier Dumont de Chassart 6, 6210 Villers-Perwin, Belgium. For any question: info@marlys-concept.be.
What we keep, and why
- Your email address and your password — so that your account exists. The password is hashed: we cannot read it, even if we wanted to.
- Your first name, if you give one — to greet you.
- Your reading progress — to put you back where you stopped.
- Your favourites — because you asked for them.
- Your subscription — to know what you are entitled to.
Audience measurement
We count chapters opened and finished, to know where readers stop and to improve the stories. This measurement is internal: nothing is passed to a third party, no advertising profile is built.
We do not record your IP address. A visitor who is not signed in is identified by a random identifier that disappears with the session.
Advertising measurement
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram to make the stories known. To find out which adverts actually bring readers in, we may set the Meta pixel, a third-party cookie belonging to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
It only loads if you have clicked “Accept”. Until you answer, or if you say no, no request is sent to Meta — not even the one that downloads its script. The site works in exactly the same way either way: nothing is reserved for those who accept.
What is sent, if you accept: the page viewed, the fact that you created an account or took out a subscription, and the technical identifiers Meta associates with your browser. Never your name, never your email address, never what you read chapter by chapter.
You can change your mind at any time by deleting this site’s cookies in your browser: you will be asked again on your next visit. Your choice is kept for six months.
What we do not do
- No social media buttons that follow you from page to page.
- No fonts and no scripts loaded from another server without your consent.
- No resale, no sharing of your address.
The cookies on this site
| Cookie | What it does | Duration |
|---|---|---|
mstories | Keeps your session open during the visit. Necessary: without it you cannot stay signed in. | Until you close the browser |
mstories_rm | Saves you from signing in at every visit, on this device. Set when you sign in. | 30 days |
stories_consent | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner, so it is not asked again. | 6 months |
_fbp (Meta) | Advertising measurement. Set only if you clicked “Accept”. | 3 months |
Your reading progress, listening speed and chosen theme stay in your browser’s memory (and in your account if you are signed in). These are not cookies: nothing is sent to a third party.
Payment
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card number never passes through our servers and we never see it.
How long
Your data stays as long as your account exists. You can delete it at any time from your account: deletion is immediate and final. Audience measurements are then anonymised and no longer identify you.
Your rights
Access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection. Two buttons in your account: Export my data and Delete my account. You may also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.
