You can also delete cookies from your computer or mobile device by using the appropriate function on your browser. If you choose not to accept our cookies or the cookies of our partner companies, you will not see certain information on our website and will not be able to use some features designed to enhance your visit.

14. use of log files

Every time you access our website, your internet browser transmits certain usage data to us for technical reasons and stores it in log files. This involves the following usage data:

  • Date and time of access to our website;
  • Name of the accessed website;

15. use of web analysis tools

In order to constantly improve and optimise our website, we use so-called tracking technologies. Web analysis tools provide us with statistics and graphics that give us information about the use of our website. In the process, data about the use of a website is transmitted to the server used for this purpose. Depending on the provider of a web analysis tool, these servers may be located abroad.

For the most commonly used web analysis tool, Google Analytics, this data is transmitted including shortened IP addresses, which prevents the identification of individual devices. Google observes the data protection provisions of the “Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield” agreement and has registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce for the “Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield” (information on the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield can be found at https://www.privacyshield.gov/Swiss-US-Privacy-Shield-FAQs). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

16. Verwendung von Social Plugins

Our website uses social plugins, e.g. from LinkedIn. The plugins are marked with the provider’s logo.

When you call up a website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the provider’s computers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the offering site and integrated into the website by the browser. By integrating the plugins, the provider receives the information that you have accessed our website. If you are logged in to the provider at the same time, the provider can assign the visit to your profile. If you interact with the plugins – for example, by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment – the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the provider and stored there.

If you do not want the provider to collect data about you via our website, you must log out from the provider before visiting our website. Even when you are logged out, the providers collect anonymised data via the social plugins and set a cookie for you. If you log in to the provider at a later time, this data can be assigned to your profile.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing of your data by the provider, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the provider’s data protection information:

If you do not want the providers to collect data about you via these cookies, you can select the function “Block third-party cookies” in your browser settings. Then the browser will not send cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. With this setting, other functions of our website may also no longer work.
