Introduction

Swiss4win uses cookies to provide a secure, efficient, and personalized online experience. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the categories of cookies we deploy, how you can manage them, and your rights regarding cookie data. The policy is effective as of the date shown in this document.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They store information about your interactions, preferences, and device characteristics to enable smoother navigation, security checks, and tailored content.

How we use cookies

We rely on cookies to support core site functionality, protect against fraud and unauthorized access, optimize performance, remember user preferences, and deliver relevant content and offers. Non-essential cookies are controlled by your consent, while essential cookies operate to maintain service integrity and security.

Categories of cookies

  • Necessary cookies: Strictly required for basic operations such as authentication, security checks, and fraud prevention. These cookies are essential for the service to function and are typically maintained for the duration of a browsing session or a short security window, not subject to user consent.

  • Functional cookies: Remember user preferences (language, region, display settings) and provide personalized features. These cookies may persist up to 12 months and are non-essential in nature, requiring user consent to enable beyond the immediate session.

  • Performance cookies: Collect anonymized information about site usage to improve reliability and performance. Data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individuals. These cookies generally persist for up to 24 months unless cleared by the user.

  • Advertising and analytics cookies: Used to measure campaign effectiveness and tailor content to interests. May be placed by our partners and can involve cross-site tracking. Durations vary, with common expiries up to 24 months; users may opt out or adjust preferences through the consent management controls or browser settings.

Managing cookies

You may manage cookies via a preferences panel on Swiss4win and through your browser settings. The preferences panel allows you to enable or disable non-essential cookies by category. Browser controls enable you to view, delete, or block cookies for specific sites or all sites. Blocking cookies may limit some features or affect sign-in and personalized content.

Your choices

You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time using the preferences panel. You may also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies. If you disable non-essential cookies, you may still use the site, but certain features such as personalized offers and analytics-based improvements may be reduced or unavailable.

Data sharing and transfers

Cookie data may be shared with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, including analytics, security, payments processing, and site optimization. All providers operate under contractual obligations to protect data and to process it only in accordance with our instructions. Where applicable, we implement safeguards for cross-border transfers in line with data protection laws. Anonymized data may be used for security analytics and abuse detection.

Security and data integrity

We implement reasonable security measures to protect cookie data, including access controls, encryption in transit, and minimization of retained information. We anonymize data where technically feasible, such as reducing exposure of IP addresses in analytics processes.

Retention of cookie data

Non-essential cookies are retained for up to 24 months from the date of their last use, after which they are automatically purged unless you reinstall or renew consent. Session cookies expire when you close your browser unless stated otherwise in the cookie panel.

Policy updates

We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology, data protection requirements, or site features. The version current at the time of use is effective and supersedes prior versions. Material changes will be communicated via the site.
