This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and give us information about how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage and scripts, work in much the same way, and we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.

3. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are needed for the website to function, for example to remember your cookie choices, keep the site secure, or make contact and booking forms work. They do not require your consent and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are most popular and how people find us, so we can improve it. They are only set if you consent.

Embedded content cookies

Some pages may include content from third parties, such as videos (YouTube, Vimeo), maps (Google Maps) or social media feeds (Instagram). These providers may set their own cookies. They are only loaded if you consent.

Marketing cookies

These are used to show relevant advertising and measure its effectiveness (for example a Meta pixel or Google Ads tag). They are only set if you consent. [Delete this section if you do not use marketing cookies.]

4. Cookies in detail

5. Your consent and your choices

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose by category. Non-essential cookies are not set until you give your consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of our website [or: by clicking here]. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, where you can block or delete them. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the website works. Browser guides:

• Chrome: support.google.com/chrome

• Safari: support.apple.com/safari

• Firefox: support.mozilla.org

• Edge: support.microsoft.com

You can also opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. Legal basis and your rights

We are based in Switzerland, so we process personal data in line with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for cookies, the information duty under the Swiss Telecommunications Act. Because we also serve clients and visitors in the European Union and the United Kingdom, we apply the standards of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy rules, and the UK GDPR and PECR where they apply.

• Strictly necessary cookies: our legitimate interest in running a secure and functioning website.

• All other cookies: your consent.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at [EMAIL ADDRESS].

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or the authority in your own country (such as the ICO in the UK, the Belgian Data Protection Authority, or the Austrian Datenschutzbehörde).

7. Third parties and international transfers

Some cookies are set by third-party providers, such as Google or Meta, whose servers may be located outside Switzerland, the EU and the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. Please refer to those providers' own privacy policies for more details.

We use [COOKIE BANNER TOOL, e.g. Cookiebot / CookieYes / Complianz / your website builder's built-in banner] to manage your consent.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools or if the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
