Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "Trackers") used on the website anatohand.ch (the "Website"). It complements, and is to be read together with, our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies (such as localStorage, sessionStorage, pixel tags, web beacons or scripts) achieve comparable purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these as "Trackers".
Trackers can be set directly by the operator of the Website (first-party Trackers) or by third parties whose content is loaded on the Website (third-party Trackers).
2. Categories of Trackers used on this Website
2.1 Strictly necessary (always active)
These Trackers are required for the Website to function properly and to fulfil services explicitly requested by the User. They cannot be switched off and do not require consent.

anatohand.consent.v1 |
anatohand.ch (first-party) | Stores your cookie banner choices so we don't ask you again on every visit. | Browser localStorage |
Until you clear your browser data or reset your choice. |
2.2 External content (consent required)
These Trackers and resources are loaded from third-party providers and are activated only with your explicit consent through the cookie banner or by clicking "Load map" on the location section.

3. Trackers we do not use
The Website does not use any of the following: analytics or statistics Trackers, advertising or remarketing Trackers, social-media plugins, profiling Trackers, A/B testing tools, heatmaps or session-recording tools.
4. Managing your preferences
You can review and change your choices at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page. Strictly necessary Trackers cannot be disabled because the Website cannot work without them.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings:
Disabling Trackers may limit certain features of the Website (for example, the embedded map will continue to be shown as a static placeholder).
