WHAT ARE COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies are small files sent by websites you visit and stored on the device you use to access those sites. When users visit the same site again, the browser reads the cookies stored on the device and transmits the information back to the site that originally created or installed those cookies.
Cookies are divided according to their duration into:
- session cookies, when they are automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session; and
- Permanent cookies, when they remain stored on the user’s device even after the closure of the browsing session, for a time established by the creator of the cookie itself. These cookies are automatically deleted once the pre-set duration period has elapsed or alternatively, they can be deleted directly by the user as indicated in the appropriate section of this Cookie Policy.
Depending on where they come from, cookies can be divided into:
- first-party cookies, when they are set and managed directly by the site manager; and
- third-party cookies, when they are managed by a domain other than the one visited by the user.
In addition, cookies are divided according to their function into:
- Technical/ functional cookies, which are necessary for the operation of the site, including the provision of information society services requested by users; and
- Preference cookies, which facilitate the personalization of the website content. The language you choose, as well as the rest of your choices, allow us to offer you the optimum browsing experience, tailored to your preferences.
- Performance cookies, which allow us to continuously improve the level of our services, by collecting and analyzing statistics regarding your landing to us from another website and the overall website traffic (e.g., number of visitors, most common searches).
- Targeting/marketing cookies, which allow for analysis and commercial/advertising use, such as for analyzing your interaction with the website content and show you relevant content.
This site complies with the applicable law, including the Federal Act on Data protection (FADP) and other relevant provisions of Swiss law, ensuring transparency on cookie use that any cookies involving personal data are handled lawfully.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES ARE USED BY THIS SITE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Technical/ Functional Cookies
This Site uses technical cookies. Without these, the Site cannot operate properly. The legal basis for the processing of personal data in relation to technical cookies is our legitimate interest consisting of the interest in ensuring that the Site functions properly, is visible and accessible to users. Below is a breakdown of the cookies used by our Site.
Google Fonts Cookies (Marketing Cookies)
We use Google Fonts to enhance the design and user experience on our Site. When fonts are loaded from Google’s servers, Google may collect certain data, such as your IP address, which is necessary to deliver the fonts properly. These interactions do not store traditional cookies, but the data collected, such as the IP address, may be used for analytical or marketing purposes by Google.
Cookie Consent Management Cookies
We use the Complianz plugin, a comprehensive cookie consent solution, to manage your consent preferences. These cookies store your choices related to cookie categories and ensure compliance with relevant data protection laws. They are set as soon as you make your choices on the cookie consent banner.
Third-Party Services and Cookies
Our Site may integrate content or services from third-party providers, such as video players (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo), social media buttons (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter), or other interactive elements. When you interact with these features or view embedded content, third-party providers may place cookies on your device. These cookies are typically used for tracking user behavior, analyzing traffic, or personalizing content and advertisements.
As these cookies are set by external providers, we do not have control over their functioning or the data they collect. We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of these third-party services for detailed information on their data collection and cookie management practices.

MANAGING COOKIES
What options do I have?
You have three options. You may either proceed with the acceptance of all cookies and other mechanisms (“Accept”), which will enable you to access all our website functions, you may refuse any non-necessary cookies (“Deny”) or you may proceed with the customization of your cookie settings (“View preferences”). The latter two choices may impair your website experience.
Technical cookies are installed upon your website visit. As they are strictly necessary either from a technical perspective, or to offer you the website services or functionalities of your choice, applicable law allows us to install them without requiring any action or consent from you. By selecting the button “Deny”, which you will find next to the initial basic information that we provide, you continue your browsing only with the Technical/Functional cookies. We will remember your choice for a year. When this period is over, or if you visit us from another device or a different browser, we will ask you again. Unfortunately, if you do not wish for Necessary cookies to be installed at all, you should not use our services and manually delete the cookies that have already been installed on your browser.
Targeting/Marketing cookies are installed if you enable the relevant option in the Manage Consent Center and select the “Accept” or “Save preferences” button, which you will find next to the initial basic information that we provide, as well as underneath the expanding full notification (banner). We will remember your choice for a year. When this period is over, or if you visit us from another device or a different browser, we will ask you again.
By selecting the button “Save preferences”, which you will find underneath the expanding full notification (banner), any of the Marketing/Targeting cookies will be installed, if you have ticked the relevant box. If you have not ticked any of the boxes and select “Save preferences”, then only Necessary cookies will be installed. We will remember your choices for a year. When this period is over, or if you visit us from another device or a different browser, we will ask you again.
Change of settings – Withdrawal of consent
At any time, you may change for future use, the choice you have made with respect to cookies and similar technologies on our website. At the bottom of this Policy, you will find the button: “Cookies Settings”. Regardless of what was your selection the last time we asked you through a pop-up banner if you accept the installation of cookies and similar technologies, you can decide again easily, directly and free of charge, through the pop-up banner, which will emerge again after selecting the “Cookies settings” button.
For example, if you had selected “Accept” and you changed your mind, you may select at the new pop-up banner any (or none) of the cookie categories you want to and then select “Save preferences”. This action would act as a withdrawal of the consent you had already given to us and it would apply for future use, namely from this change onwards, our website will not use (these particular) cookies and similar technologies on your device. In case you also wish to remove the cookies that had already been installed on your device before the withdrawal of your consent, then you may do so manually by following the instructions that you will find in the “Control via browser settings – Removal of cookies” section below.
Control via browser settings – Removal of cookies
You may also control and manage the cookies via the settings of the browser you use. Some of your options (depending on the browser) are, for example, acceptance of all cookies, notification before installation of cookies or the ban of their installation.
Through the settings of your browser, you may reverse any installation of cookies and similar mechanisms by our website, by deleting the files already stored.
