Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 7, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply information to website operators.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and session storage, which function similarly to cookies. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies."
Cookies can be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting). Cookies can also be classified by duration: "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential functionality: To keep you logged in, maintain your session, process payments securely, and remember your cookie consent preferences. These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website.
- Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve our service. Analytics cookies are only activated with your consent.
- Marketing: To measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and deliver relevant content. Marketing cookies are only activated with your consent.

3. Cookie Categories
We classify the cookies used on our website into the following categories:
Necessary Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as authentication, payment processing, and consent management. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive (Art. 5(3)). They cannot be disabled without impairing the functionality of the website.

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information. We use this data to improve our website and services. Analytics cookies are only set after you provide your consent via our cookie banner.
Marketing Cookies (Require Consent)
These cookies are used for advertising measurement, retargeting, and campaign optimization. They may be set through our site by advertising partners via Google Tag Manager. Marketing cookies are only set after you provide your consent.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing your cookie preferences:
Via Cookiebot (Recommended)
We use Cookiebot (provided by Cybot A/S, Denmark) as our Consent Management Platform (CMP). When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear, allowing you to:
- Accept All: Enable all cookie categories
- Reject All / Deny: Only strictly necessary cookies will be used
- Manage Preferences: Choose exactly which cookie categories to enable or disable
Your consent is recorded and stored by Cookiebot in the CookieConsent cookie. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer. No non-essential cookies are set before you provide your consent.
Via Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Common options include:
- Block all cookies
- Block only third-party cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
- Browse in "private" or "incognito" mode
Browser-specific instructions:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, Search and Services > Cookies and site permissions
Please note that blocking or deleting necessary cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly (e.g., you may not be able to log in or process payments).
Google Analytics Opt-out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which integrates with our Cookiebot consent banner to dynamically control how Google tags (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and any associated advertising tags) behave based on your consent choices.
How it works:
When analytics consent is denied:
- Google Analytics does not set any cookies on your device
- Anonymous, cookieless pings may still be sent to provide aggregated, non-identifying data (e.g., basic page view counts)
- No user-level identification or tracking occurs
When marketing/advertising consent is denied:
- No advertising or remarketing cookies are set
- No conversion tracking or audience building occurs
- Ad personalization is fully disabled
When consent is granted:
- Full functionality of the respective Google services is enabled
- Cookies listed in the analytics and/or marketing categories above are set accordingly
Default consent state:
Before you interact with the consent banner, the default state for analytics and marketing is set to "denied", ensuring no non-essential cookies are loaded until you make an active choice.
This implementation ensures compliance with the GDPR, Swiss nDSG, and ePrivacy Directive requirements regarding prior consent for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that we integrate to provide our functionality. These third parties may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
