Overview

What does E-monsite do?

What is E-monsite

E-monsite is a French SaaS website builder operated by Comongo SAS, headquartered in Lille, France. The platform allows users to create static websites, blogs, e-commerce stores and member areas through a hosted editor. As a managed publishing platform it provides hosting, templates, plugins and an administration backend, and it serves both visitor traffic and the website owner's editorial workflow from infrastructure located primarily in France.

Data and cookies set by E-monsite

E-monsite uses first party HTTP cookies for session management, authentication of site administrators, CSRF protection and visitor preferences. Depending on activated modules, additional cookies may be set for shopping cart state, language selection or audience statistics. When site owners enable third party widgets (social embeds, external statistics, payment buttons, chat tools), those vendors may set their own cookies on the visitor's browser.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function (session, CSRF, cart) do not require prior consent under Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and the ePrivacy Directive. Cookies used for audience measurement, advertising, social integrations or behavioural analysis fall outside the strictly necessary scope and therefore require informed, prior, granular and revocable consent from the visitor before they are deposited or read.

Consent requirements

Site owners building on E-monsite remain the data controllers for content delivered through their site. They must implement a consent mechanism that blocks non essential cookies and third party scripts until the visitor accepts them, document each consent, and offer an equally accessible refuse option. The CNIL guidelines (2020 deliberations and 2021 recommendation) apply directly because Comongo SAS and most of its clients are established in France.

Data transfers

E-monsite hosts visitor and customer data in France, which keeps the processing inside the European Economic Area and removes the need for transfer safeguards under Chapter V of the GDPR. However, if a site owner installs external modules (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, US chat or marketing tools), personal data may be transferred outside the EEA. Standard Contractual Clauses and a transfer impact assessment then become necessary.

Practical compliance steps

Sign the data processing agreement offered by Comongo SAS, list E-monsite in your record of processing activities, classify each cookie set on the site, deploy a CMP that blocks non essential tags until consent is captured, and keep an internal log of consent events. Publish a clear cookie policy, link it from every page, and review the configuration whenever a new plugin is enabled.

Compliance

E-monsite and the GDPR

E-monsite is classified as “Unclassified”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy.

Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for non essential cookies and analytics; Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for strictly necessary cookies and security
Risk level: medium
Applicable regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, French Loi Informatique et Libertes (CNIL guidelines)

Impact assessment (DPIA)

E-monsite collects visitor IP addresses for its built in audience measurement and for security. The integrated stats can be configured to fall under the CNIL consent exemption (anonymised IP, no cross site tracking, limited retention); otherwise consent is required. Account holder data (name, email, billing) is processed in France. Risk factors: third party scripts the site owner may activate (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel) create transfers to the United States and additional persistent identifiers. A DPIA is generally not mandatory when only the native stats are used, but becomes recommended as soon as third party advertising or analytics widgets are installed.

Write to us

Which cookies does E-monsite set on a visitor's browser?

E-monsite sets first party cookies for session management, administrator authentication, CSRF protection, language and shopping cart state. When site owners enable optional modules such as audience statistics or third party widgets, additional cookies may be deposited by E-monsite or by the integrated vendors.

Is visitor consent required before E-monsite cookies are set?

Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies such as session and CSRF tokens. Consent is required for non essential cookies, including audience measurement that is not CNIL exempted, advertising tags, social widgets and any analytics tools added by the site owner.

What legal basis applies to data processed through E-monsite?

The strictly necessary cookies rely on the legitimate interest of the site owner to operate the website. All other cookies and the personal data they collect require consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act.

Does E-monsite transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area?

The core E-monsite service is hosted in France and does not transfer data outside the EEA. Transfers can occur indirectly when site owners enable US based plugins, statistics tools or payment providers, in which case Standard Contractual Clauses and a transfer impact assessment are needed.

Do I need a DPIA for a website running on E-monsite?

A DPIA is usually not required for a standard E-monsite website. It becomes mandatory when the site processes special category data at scale, performs systematic profiling, targets vulnerable audiences or combines several data sources for behavioural analysis.

How do I implement compliance correctly on an E-monsite site?

Sign the data processing agreement with Comongo SAS, list E-monsite in your record of processing activities, audit every cookie, deploy a consent management platform that blocks non essential scripts until the visitor accepts, and document each consent with a clear refusal option.

What are alternatives to E-monsite for European compliance?

European alternatives include WordPress.com hosted in the EU, Webflow with an EU data residency option, Jimdo (Germany) and Wix with EU configuration. Self hosted WordPress or Ghost with a French provider also offer strong control over data location.

How should I update the cookie policy after adding a new E-monsite module?

List the new module, the cookies it sets, the purpose, the retention period and the recipients. Update the CMP categories accordingly, refresh the consent banner so visitors are asked again, and version the cookie policy with the publication date for traceability.
