For the optimization of our Website, we use ” Cookies “. These are small files that are stored on your data carrier and that store certain settings and data via your Internet browser and exchange them with our system.

In principle, no personal data is stored in the Cookies we use as they cannot be linked to a specific person. When a Cookie is activated, an identification number is assigned to the respective Cookie. It is not possible to link your personal data to this identification number. At no time do we store your name, IP address, or any other similar data in such a way that it is possible to establish a connection between the Cookies and you. Through the use of Cookie technology, we only obtain anonymous information that tells us, for example, which pages of our Website have been visited.

Google uses contractual clauses for data transfers outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries not covered by an adequacy decision, such as the USA. If you do not want Google Analytics™ to record data about your visits, you can install a browser add-on that allows Google Analytics™ to be disabled.
We also make use of the advertising features of Google Analytics™, so advertising Cookies may be used to enable certain features such as remarketing for products like AdWords™ on the Google™ Display Network.

Where, in the context of data sharing, we transfer personal data to countries outside of Switzerland or the EU / European Economic Area, we ensure that such transfers are made in accordance with this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable data protection legislation.
