1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Local storage works similarly but is not attached to HTTP requests. Both technologies can store information about your device or settings. Below, we use the term “storage” for both technologies.
2. Legal basis and consent
We use technically necessary storage based on our legitimate interest in operating the website securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Art. 45c Swiss Telecommunications Act). Optional storage for preferences, analytics, and marketing is used only after you have given consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; Art. 45c Swiss Telecommunications Act).
On your first visit, a cookie banner is displayed. “Reject all” is as easy to use as “Accept all”. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer. Withdrawal applies for the future and does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

Analytics and marketing storage are currently not used. If we introduce an analytics service or marketing pixel in the future, it will only load after your consent and this policy will be updated.
5. No direct third-party content
The marketing website loads fonts and images from our own server. No direct connections to Google Fonts, Unsplash, or similar services are established. External links (e.g. email addresses) are only opened when clicked.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
You can delete or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings at any time. Most browsers provide a function to clear website data and block cookies. Please note that the website may not function fully if necessary storage is blocked.
7. Changes
We update this cookie policy when the technologies we use or legal requirements change. The version published on this page applies.
