Web analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) and, for users in Europe, by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), to analyse the use of our website.

Google Analytics collects data such as the pages you visit, the time spent on pages, your approximate location (based on IP), the device and browser you use, and interactions with our website. This data is used to create aggregated, anonymous statistics about the use of our website.

We only activate Google Analytics after you have given your consent via our cookie banner. The legal basis for this processing is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR / corresponding provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection).

Data may be transferred to the United States. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the Swiss–US Data Privacy Framework.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting cookies in your browser or changing your cookie preferences.

Where personal data is transferred to such countries, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the Swiss authorities, or that the recipient is certified under an applicable data privacy framework.
