We use cookies in a number of areas. Cookies may also be used on websites linked externally – i.e. outside the scope of our editorial responsibility – without our being able to give you advance notice of this.

We use information collected using Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our website and to produce reports about website activities. Google may pass on this data to third parties insofar as this is legally prescribed or the third parties are processing the data on behalf of Google.

By using our website, you provide your consent that data collected in relation to you may be processed by Google in the prescribed manner.

Third-party providers of online content such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics have access to certain information relating to users of this website (particularly the IP address), depending on the service. The same applies to the use of cookies (particularly from Google Analytics) for easier storage and reuse of user data. Third-party providers may also store this data on websites outside Switzerland (especially in the United States). By using our website, you consent to any data access by these third-party providers.
