2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or smartphone when you visit a website. They may be necessary to make a website work technically, remember your choices, measure website use or - where used and permitted - personalise content and advertising.
First-party cookies are set by Maison Helvetia through our website. Third-party cookies are set or read by external services such as Google. Session cookies are generally deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain stored for a specified period or until you delete them.
3. When do we ask for consent?
Strictly necessary cookies are used because they are required for the security, operation and functions you request from the website. They do not require separate consent.
Non-essential functional, analytics or marketing cookies are used only in accordance with your choice in the cookie banner. You may accept or reject all optional cookies or set your preference by category. Google Analytics is denied by default until you give consent.
Your choice is remembered for no longer than one year. You may change or withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary cookies. These provide basic functions such as website and form security and remembering your cookie choice. Without them, the website may not work correctly.
Functional cookies. These may provide additional functions or personalised settings. Maison Helvetia currently uses no separate functional tracking cookie; this category is available for future or changed website functions. A non-essential functional cookie will be activated only after your choice.
Analytics or performance cookies. Google Analytics helps us understand how many people visit the website, which pages they view and how they navigate. This information helps us improve the website. These cookies are stored only after consent.
Marketing or targeted cookies. These may be used to build an interest profile or show relevant advertising. Maison Helvetia currently uses no proprietary advertising-campaign cookie on the website. If such technology is added later, it will not be activated without the required consent and this Policy will be updated.
6. External services and similar technologies
The website uses or contains connections to the following external services:
Google Analytics 4 for visitor statistics after consent. The website measurement ID is G-GDXX7K965K.
Google reCAPTCHA on the contact form for security and spam prevention. reCAPTCHA may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device information, mouse or interaction data and the time of the request.
Google Fonts to display typefaces. Loading the fonts may create a connection to Google through which technical information such as the IP address is transmitted.
cdnjs/Cloudflare to deliver technical files and icons. Technical connection data may be processed.
Airbnb, Facebook and Instagram through external links. Only when you follow such a link do you reach the relevant third party's website, where its cookie and privacy rules apply.
These providers may process data outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area. Our Privacy Policy contains more information about recipients, international transfers and your rights. Maison Helvetia does not sell personal data.
7. Changing your cookie choice
You can change your choice at any time through the Cookie settings link on the website. If that link is temporarily unavailable, you can delete the cookiePreferences cookie in your browser. The cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.
Your browser also allows you to view, block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent forms or other parts of the website from working correctly. Deleting cookies also removes previously stored preferences.
8. Your rights
Where cookies result in the processing of personal data, you may request access, correction, restriction or deletion and object to processing, subject to applicable law. A simple request is sufficient: email info@maisonhelvetia.ch. Statutory retention duties or necessary security interests may mean that certain data cannot be deleted immediately.
9. Changes
We may amend this Cookie Policy when the website, services used or legal requirements change. The version published on the website with the most recent date applies.
