Cookie Policy

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Silex Legal GmbH ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on silexlegal.org. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

Because Silex Legal operates under Swiss law and the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), we follow a prior-consent model: non-essential cookies are not set until you actively accept them through our cookie banner. This is the standard required by Swiss data protection authorities for analytics and preference technologies.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device across page loads, store your preferences, and measure how the service is used. We also use closely related technologies, including localStorage tokens (used for storing your cookie consent decision) and server-side access logs.

3. Your Consent

When you first visit silexlegal.org, a cookie banner appears. Non-essential cookies (analytics, preferences) are not activated until you click Accept. If you click "Necessary only," we activate strictly necessary cookies only and record that choice for 12 months.

You can change your preference at any time by using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, which reopens the banner and lets you update your choice. You may also clear your stored consent by deleting site data for silexlegal.org in your browser settings, or by contacting [email protected].

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

The table below describes the categories of cookies used on silexlegal.org.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party processors acting under our instruction (for example, an analytics provider). We hold data-processing agreements with such providers and activate their cookies only after you have given consent. We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.

6. Managing Cookies

• Use our cookie banner or the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer to accept, reject, or update your choices at any time.
• Your browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies for any site; instructions are available at aboutcookies.org. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Service from functioning.
• Browser-transmitted opt-out signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), are honoured for analytics and marketing categories. If a GPC signal is detected, we treat it as a refusal of non-essential cookies regardless of any prior stored consent.

7. Changes

If the Company changes the cookies it uses, this policy will be updated with a new effective date. Where the change involves a new category of non-essential cookie, we will request renewed consent through the banner.
