2 The Cookie Consent Manager
The Cookie Consent Manager is a tool that lets you change and/or revoke your consent at any time, so you can decide which cookies you wish to allow. By clicking on ‘[Allow all cookies]’, you consent to the use of cookies to improve user-friendliness (such as selecting your preferred language automatically) and to analyse your user behaviour. However, you can also allow only certain cookies by selecting the cookies and clicking on ‘[Allow selection]’.
You can even change the settings in your browser to block all cookies. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can set your browser to prevent cookies from being stored on your computer or to notify you before a new cookie is generated. If you deactivate all cookies, however, you may not be able to use all of our website’s features.
3 Cookies used on the website
Our website uses the following categories of cookies:
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary to the operation and presentation of the website. You can normally deactivate these cookies in your browser, but this can cause certain features of the website to stop working.
2. Functional cookies for user-friendliness
These cookies make the website more user-friendly. They enable the website to detect whether you have already seen certain pop-up messages (e.g. regarding opening hours during holidays). This prevents you from seeing the same pop-up message multiple times.
These cookies also store the log-in details of registered users (such as tenants).
3. Analytics cookies
Google uses this cookie from Google Analytics to analyse user behaviour and collect statistical data (e.g. number of clicks and the browser you use). We use the extension ‘gat.anonymizeIp’. When this extension is active, the IP address of the data subject is shortened and anonymised by Google if our website is accessed from Switzerland or the European Union. The data is then sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For more information, see the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.
