In general, SWISSDARL will handle personal information collected through cookies, in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner.

COOKIES
➤ Definitions, characteristics, and application of standards
Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by a website you visit, to then be re-sent to the same site when you visit it again. It is thanks to these cookies that the website can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within the website.
Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.
When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “third-party cookies”).
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.
According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “technical/necessary cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. This includes browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase).
On the other hand, “profiling/marketing cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.
➤ Types of cookies used by the Website
The Website uses the following types of cookies:
- Necessary cookies, which are strictly necessary for the Website’s operation, and/or to allow you to use the Website’s content and SWISSDARL services made available via the Website.
- Preference cookies, which are used to activate specific website functions and to configure the Website according to your choices, in order to improve your experience.
- Statistics cookies, which allow SWISSDARL to understand how users make use of the Website, and to track traffic to and from the Website.
- Marketing cookies, which are used to observe the preferences you reveal through your use of the Website and to send you advertising messages in line with those preferences.
SWISSDARL also uses third-party cookies – i.e. cookies from websites / web servers other than SWISSDARL’s own website, which are owned by third parties. These third parties will either act as independent data controllers from SWISSDARL regarding their own cookies (using the data they collect for their own purposes and under terms defined by them) or as data processors for SWISSDARL (processing personal data on SWISSDARL’s behalf). For further information on how these third parties may use your information, please refer to their privacy policies:
