Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can manage them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information between page loads or visits. We use the term "cookies" in a broad sense and apply the same logic to comparable technologies such as local storage and session storage, which store information directly in your browser.

3. Categories

We distinguish two categories:

• Strictly necessary: required to deliver the website and the features you explicitly request (e.g. remembering your light/dark theme preference). These technologies do not require consent.
• Non-essential: used for analytics, marketing or tracking. These require your explicit, prior consent under Swiss and EU law and are documented through a consent banner.

4. What we use today

Today, this website does not use any analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and stores no persistent data in your browser. There is therefore no consent banner.

We also rely on basic technical cookies that may be set by the infrastructure provider hosting this website. These serve only to deliver the page, balance load and protect against attacks. They contain no information that identifies you personally.

5. Third-party content

When this website embeds content from a third party (for example, an interactive map provider), the third party may set cookies of its own when the embedded content is loaded. We aim to keep such embeds to a minimum and to document them clearly. Where third parties may receive personal data, this is disclosed in our Privacy Policy.

6. If we ever introduce analytics

If we decide to introduce analytics, advertising or tracking technologies in the future, we will, before any such cookies are set:

• Display a consent banner that lets you accept or refuse with equal ease, with no pre-ticked boxes and no nudging
• Allow you to change your decision at any time and to withdraw your consent as easily as you gave it
• Document each consent decision securely
• Update this Cookie Policy with the full list of cookies, their purpose, the recipients and the lifetime

7. Managing cookies in your browser

You can control and delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, to allow only first-party cookies, or to delete stored data when you close the browser. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect parts of the website, for example by no longer remembering your theme preference.

8. Changes to this policy

We review this Cookie Policy regularly and update it whenever we add, remove or change a cookie or comparable technology. The current version is always available on this page, with the date of the last update shown below.
