Cookie Policy
last updated: 11 June 2026
The short version
This site uses only strictly necessary cookies, set by our authentication provider Clerk to sign you in and keep you signed in. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media pixels, or any other tracking technologies. Because strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under both the Swiss FADP and the EU ePrivacy rules, no opt-in consent is required — which is why you see an informational notice rather than an accept/decline banner.
Cookies we set
| cookie | set by | purpose | lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session | Clerk (first-party) | Holds your session token so you stay signed in to the dashboard. | Duration of the session; expires on sign-out or after session expiry |
| __client_uat | Clerk (first-party) | Records the timestamp of the last authentication state change, so the app knows whether to refresh your session. | Up to 1 year |
| __clerk_handshake | Clerk (first-party) | Transient cookie used during the sign-in handshake between the app and the authentication service. | Seconds — removed once sign-in completes |
The exact set of authentication cookies may vary slightly between Clerk versions; all cookies set are strictly necessary for authentication. If you never sign in, no authentication session is established.
Local storage
We use your browser's local storage (not a cookie) for one item: uc_cookie_notice remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice so it is not shown again. It contains no personal data and never leaves your browser.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. Note that blocking the cookies listed above will prevent you from signing in to the dashboard; the public website works without any cookies.
Changes and contact
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (for example, analytics), this policy will be updated and an opt-in consent banner will be added before any such cookie is set. Questions? Email marvin.kiefer@swisswebdev.ch. See also our Privacy Policy.
