• Non-Personal Information: Information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, pages visited, time spent on the Website, and other anonymized data related to your interaction with the Website.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze Website usage. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how you interact with our Website. For more details, see Section 3 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies).

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through a contact form, if available).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected through Google Analytics to:

• Analyze Website usage and performance to improve our content and user experience.
• Understand visitor demographics and behavior in an anonymized manner.
• Monitor and optimize the functionality of the Website.

We do not use your information for marketing purposes or to create user profiles for personalized advertising.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

3.1 Use of Cookies

Our Website uses cookies to collect anonymized data via Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are most popular and how long visitors stay on the Website.

3.2 GDPR Compliance and Cookie Consent

In compliance with the GDPR, we provide a cookie consent mechanism to inform you about the use of cookies and obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner displayed when you first visit the Website. You may also disable cookies through your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of the Website.

3.3 Types of Cookies

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Website to function properly. These cookies do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies: Used by Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about Website usage. These cookies are only placed with your consent.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics to analyze Website traffic. Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is anonymized and used solely for analytical purposes. Google Analytics may store this data on servers located outside of Switzerland, including in the United States. For more information on how Google handles your data, please review Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not use social media plugins, widgets, or other third-party services that collect personal data.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties, except as described below:

• Google Analytics: Anonymized data collected via Google Analytics may be shared with Google for the purpose of analyzing Website usage.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

6. Data Storage and Security

Data collected via Google Analytics is stored securely on Google's servers. We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, including technical and organizational safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain anonymized data collected via Google Analytics for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Typically, Google Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months before being automatically deleted.
