plancul.ca is a personal informational site about the history of dating and sexuality. It provides no dating service, accounts, messaging, purchases or subscriptions.

What stays in your browser

The site uses browser local storage for only two preferences: plancul-lang (French or English) and plancul-sound (sound on or off). These values remain until you clear them in your browser settings. You can change both using the page controls. The page still works when storage is blocked.

Sounds are synthesized on your device, without a microphone. Animations follow your device’s reduced motion preference and can also be paused in the page.

Simulations, with no real exchanges

The Minitel and cards are fictional demonstrations. The entered code, card choices and pointer movement only operate the interactions within this page. The site does not record them or send them to a dating service. The Minitel does not connect to any service and incurs no charges.

Hosting and security

Cloudflare provides Pages hosting, content delivery and security. To deliver requests and protect its network, the host may process technical data, including your IP address, requested URL, date and technical browser information. The site adds no audience analytics, advertising, tracking pixels or fonts loaded from another provider.

Cloudflare may use cookies necessary for its security features. Its infrastructure and subprocessors may process data outside Québec and Canada. Retention and processing depend on its services; this page does not promise that technical logs do not exist. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Your choices

To remove preferences, clear plancul.ca site data in your browser. Source links open third-party sites with their own policies. The demonstrations request no personal information: do not enter confidential information.
