Cookie Policy
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things between pages and visits — for example, that you are signed in, or which language you prefer. We also use similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) and refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
We group cookies into four categories:
- Strictly necessary — required to deliver the site and keep it secure. These are always on; you cannot disable them.
- Functional — remember your preferences (language, theme, dismissed notices) so the site works the way you set it up.
- Analytics — help us understand which pages and features are used so we can improve them.
- Marketing — measure the performance of marketing campaigns and, where applicable, deliver relevant advertising.
Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are loaded only after you give consent through our cookie banner.

4. Managing your choices
You can change or withdraw consent at any time:
- Click Cookie settings in our footer to reopen the banner.
- Use your browser settings to delete or block cookies. Major browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control" signal that we honour as a request to refuse non-essential cookies.
- Opt out of Google Analytics with the official browser add-on.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site, including sign-in and checkout.
5. Legal basis
We rely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for non-essential cookies, and on our legitimate interest in operating and securing the site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for strictly necessary cookies. The Swiss Telecommunications Act (Art. 45c TCA) requires us to inform you about cookies and to allow you to refuse them; we do so through the banner.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest version.
