Supplement to the privacy policy
This cookie policy supplements the privacy policy of this website. The cookie policy sets out how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the privacy policy provides a broader overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small units of information, similar to text files, that can be stored on and read from a device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining basic website functions, security and data protection, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor traffic, and enabling marketing systems. Practical examples of what may be stored in cookies include the login status in user accounts, the contents of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID used to track behaviour on the website.
Information can be stored technically in various ways. The best-known examples are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different characteristics that determine its technical handling, accessibility, and which parties are authorised to access the information. All these types of storage are generally referred to under the term «cookies» and are therefore also referred to as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
In Switzerland, the setting and reading of cookies is only permitted, pursuant to Art. 45c let. b FMG (Telecommunications Act), if the user has the option to object to the processing of data based on comprehensive information about the purposes of processing. In exceptional cases, consent must be obtained in Switzerland for the processing of personal data in cookies.
