What an account adds

This draft is a text file. The paid platform makes it a live document: hosted at a stable URL you can link from your footer, versioned every time it changes, published in English, German, French and Italian at once, with a cookie list that updates itself from a real scan of your site, a consent banner in front of it and an audit trail behind it.

Introduction

This cookie policy explains how Your company uses cookies and similar technologies on the website example.com. It describes what these technologies are, which categories we use, the legal basis for their use, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your browser and to remember certain information between requests or visits. Similar technologies, such as local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), pixels and comparable identifiers, fulfil the same purpose and are covered by this policy.

A distinction is made between first-party cookies, which are set by example.com itself, and third-party cookies, which are set by external providers whose services are embedded on our website. Cookies are also classified by their lifespan: session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain stored for a defined period or until you delete them.

Cookie categories

We group cookies and similar technologies into categories according to their purpose:

  • Strictly necessary and functional cookies are required for the website to operate and to provide functions you have explicitly requested, such as maintaining your session, ensuring security, or remembering your preferences. These cookies do not require your consent.
  • Analytics and statistics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited and how the site performs, so that we can improve it. These cookies are only set with your consent.
  • Marketing and advertising cookies are used to display relevant content and advertising and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, often across different websites. These cookies are only set with your consent.

Consent and withdrawing consent

Before any non-essential cookies are set, we ask for your consent through the cookie banner displayed when you first visit the website. You may accept or decline each consent-based category, and no cookies in these categories are placed until you have given your consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal.

Cookies we use

The list below is generated automatically and always reflects the cookies currently in use on this website.

Legal basis

The legal basis for setting non-essential cookies and processing the related personal data is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For strictly necessary cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The requirement to obtain consent for the storage of and access to information on your device also follows from the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and its national implementations.

Where the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) applies, the processing described in this policy is carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Article 6 FADP, in particular lawfulness, good faith, proportionality and purpose limitation. Under Article 45c of the Swiss Telecommunications Act (TCA), the processing of data on external equipment, such as the storage of cookies, is permitted only if users are informed about the processing and its purpose and about the possibility of refusing it. This policy and the cookie banner serve this purpose.

Third-party cookies and data transfers

Some cookies are set by third-party providers whose services are integrated into our website, such as analytics or media services. These providers may process personal data on their own responsibility and may transfer data to countries outside the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, including countries whose level of data protection has not been recognised as adequate. Where such transfers take place, they are based on appropriate safeguards, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. For details on the processing carried out by each provider, please refer to the respective privacy policies linked in the cookie list above.

Managing cookies in your browser

In addition to the cookie settings on this website, you can control and delete cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view the cookies stored on your device, delete them individually or entirely, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair the functionality of this website.

Automatically generated draft — no legal validity
This text was generated automatically from the details you entered. It has not been checked by a lawyer, is not legal advice and has no legal validity. Read it in full, adapt it to what your business actually does, and have it reviewed before you publish or rely on it.

The cookie table only lists the consent record itself: nothing has scanned your website. A real cookie list comes from a scan, which is part of the paid platform.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need a cookie policy as well as a privacy policy?
Legally you need the information, not a separate page. Many operators still split them because the cookie list changes far more often than the rest of the policy, and because a short, specific cookie page is easier for visitors to read. If you keep them together, put the cookie list inside your privacy policy instead.
Why is the cookie table in this draft almost empty?
Because nobody has looked at your website. The table can only list cookies that were actually observed being set. The free draft therefore only declares the consent record itself. A real cookie list comes from scanning the site, which is what the paid platform does, and it re-scans so the table stays true after your marketing team adds a tag.
Does a cookie banner make the policy unnecessary?
No. The banner collects consent; the policy is the information you must give before consent can be informed. Under the ePrivacy Directive and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR you need both, and the banner must not set non-essential cookies before the visitor has chosen.
