Supplement to the Privacy Policy
This cookie policy is a supplement to our Privacy Policy and explains how cookies are used on this website and what data they collect. The privacy policy provides a broader overview of all data processing activities on and beyond this website.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information, similar to text files, that can be stored on and read from a user’s device. They serve a variety of purposes, including maintaining basic website functions, security and privacy, enabling optional features, analyzing visitor traffic, and supporting marketing systems.
Examples include saving a user’s login status, storing items in a shopping cart, or using a unique user ID to track website activity.
Technically, these pieces of information can be stored in various ways. The most common examples include HTTP cookies and similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each method has different technical characteristics, such as accessibility and which entities can access the stored data. For simplicity, all storage types are referred to as “cookies” in this policy.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
In the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), cookies may only be set or read under the conditions defined by Art. 5 (3) ePrivacy Directive and Recital 66 ePrivacy Directive—typically when the user has given informed consent for specific purposes. Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user (e.g., loading the core content of the website) may be used without consent.
In Switzerland, under Article 45c(b) of the Telecommunications Act (FMG), cookies may be set or read if the user has been fully informed of the processing purpose and has been given the opportunity to opt out. In some cases involving the processing of personal data, explicit consent may also be required.
What rights do website visitors have?
Cookies and services may be set and read based on your consent or our legitimate interest. When you first visited this website, you were asked for your consent and had the option to object to certain services. The legal basis for each service is explained in our consent dialogue.
You have the right to view your decision history, change your privacy settings, object to the use of services, and withdraw your consent at any time. You can exercise your rights using the options below:
How can cookies be managed in a browser?
- Removing cookies: To delete cookies from your device, go to your browser settings and clear your browsing data. This will remove cookies from all websites you’ve visited, including login credentials and saved preferences.
- Controlling cookies: For more granular control, visit the privacy and cookie settings in your browser. There, you can manage cookie permissions on a per-website basis.
- Blocking cookies: Most modern browsers allow you to block cookies entirely. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of certain services, such as login features. There are also browser extensions that block cookies from being set.
- Managing cookies on this website: To adjust your cookie preferences for this website, you can modify your settings at any time using the link provided in the “Rights of Website Visitors” section above.

What types of cookies are there?
- Essential cookies Necessary for basic website functionality. Examples include security cookies that store an authentication token to block bots, or login cookies for secure areas.
- Functional cookies Enhance user experience by saving preferences such as language or display settings. Example: cookies that remember your preferred video quality.
- Statistical cookies Collect anonymous data about website usage to improve performance. Example: randomly assigned user IDs that track if a user has visited a specific subpage.
- Marketing cookies Track user behavior across websites to display personalized ads. Examples include cookies that record ad interactions or support tools like pre-sales chat or customer support systems.
Who can set cookies on this website?
Cookies can be set by both the website operator and third-party services used on the site. A distinction is made between first-party cookies, which are set by the visited website and can be read only by that site and its integrated services, and third-party cookies, which are set by external services and can be accessed across all sites where that service is embedded. These are often used by ad networks to track user behavior and deliver personalized advertising.
