What we store on your device, why, and for how long. No dark patterns.
Four categories, two of which we actually set. Categories C and D are listed for transparency; C activates only with your explicit consent, D is unused.
Login sessions, CSRF protection, language and theme preference, consent state itself.
No consent required — sites cannot function without these.
Remembering form drafts, recently viewed mandates, locale fallback. First-party only.
No consent required — improve UX, never used for tracking.
Anonymised, aggregated traffic statistics so we can improve the platform. IP truncated, no profiling, no advertising.
Loaded only after you click "Accept analytics".
Reserved for transparency. If we ever introduce marketing cookies this section will be updated and a fresh consent request shown.
Not in use. We do not run advertising or behavioural targeting.
This list is the source of truth. If a cookie is set on your browser by smemarket.ch and isn't listed here, that's a bug — please report it to info@smemarket.ch.
A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to keep between visits. We also use localStorage for the same purpose — for our own preferences, never for anyone else's. Throughout this notice, "cookie" covers both.
We do not use device fingerprinting, browser canvas profiling, ETags-as-tracking, or any of the substitutes that the industry has invented to evade the cookie consent regime.
4.1 When you first visit, a banner offers Accept analytics or Decline. Strictly-necessary cookies (§ A) are set regardless because the site cannot function without them — the law explicitly exempts these from consent. Analytics cookies (§ C) load only if you accept.
4.2 Change your mind at any time: open this page and click Manage your consent at the bottom — the banner re-appears.
You can also clear cookies through your browser's settings — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge all expose this under Settings → Privacy. Clearing them logs you out and resets your language / theme preferences.
When you accept analytics, the following processor is engaged:
We never sell, share, or syndicate cookie data to advertising networks, data brokers, or affiliate programmes.
6.1 Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 31 nDSG / Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and are explicitly exempted from consent under Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive.
Analytics cookies are processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR / Art. 31 nDSG, in conjunction with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court's case law on opt-in for non-essential tracking).
We update this page whenever a new cookie is added, a duration changes, or a processor changes. The version number at the top of the document changes each time. Material changes (introduction of new categories, addition of marketing cookies) require a fresh consent request — the banner is re-armed automatically.
