This Cookie Policy explains how SMAM uses cookies and similar technologies on smam.ch.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files or identifiers that websites may store or access on a user’s device. They can support essential website functions, security and preferences and, depending on how a website is configured, may also be used for analytics, advertising or behavioural tracking.
2. Current SMAM website configuration
SMAM currently uses a data-minimal website configuration. We do not intentionally deploy advertising cookies, personalised advertising technologies or cross-site behavioural tracking on smam.ch.
The website may nevertheless use cookies or comparable technical mechanisms that are necessary to operate, secure, administer or cache the site. Logged-in WordPress administrators may also receive administrative or session cookies that do not apply in the same way to ordinary public visitors.
3. Categories of technologies
Strictly necessary and security technologies
These technologies may be required to deliver pages, protect forms, prevent abuse, maintain security, administer the website and support technical performance. Disabling them may affect website functionality.
Preference technologies
Where used, preference technologies remember choices made by a visitor so the website can provide a consistent experience.
Analytics and marketing technologies
SMAM does not currently intentionally deploy analytics, advertising or cross-site marketing cookies on smam.ch. If such technologies are introduced in the future, this Policy and the website’s consent or preference controls will be updated before they are used where required.
4. Third-party destinations
The site contains links to third-party services, including LinkedIn. When you follow an external link, the third-party service may set its own cookies or process information under its own terms. Those activities are controlled by the relevant third party.
5. Managing cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Depending on the technology and applicable law, the website may also present consent or preference controls for non-essential technologies. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.
6. Changes
SMAM may update this Cookie Policy if the website configuration or applicable requirements change. The date above indicates the latest revision.
7. Contact
Questions about cookies or privacy may be sent to contact@smam.ch.
