At Adiasta, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, https://adiasta.com. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences in compliance with Swiss data protection laws, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other applicable regulations in regions where our services are accessed.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your actions and preferences, enhance site functionality, and provide insights into how the site is used. Other technologies, such as local storage, may also be used for similar purposes.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, such as enabling navigation, accessing secure areas, and maintaining your preferences (e.g., language or theme settings). They are always enabled and cannot be disabled as they are critical to the site’s operation.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are visited and how long users stay on the site. This helps us improve our services and user experience. These cookies are optional and only enabled with your consent.
- Marketing Cookies: These cookies help us understand user behavior to deliver relevant marketing content. They are optional and only enabled with your consent.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Site Functionality: Essential cookies ensure that features like the language selector, theme toggle, and cookie preference management work correctly.
- Performance and Analytics: With your consent, we use Google Analytics (ID: G-T9JP67T6DX) to collect anonymized data, such as page views, session duration, and bounce rates. This helps us optimize the website and improve content delivery.
- Marketing: With your consent, marketing cookies may be used to track user preferences and behavior to tailor promotional content.
We do not use cookies to collect personal data beyond what is necessary for the website’s functionality or analytics purposes (with your consent). Any data collected via Google Analytics is anonymized by default to protect your privacy.
4. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
In accordance with Swiss data protection laws and the EU GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing cookies:
- Legitimate Interest: Essential cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website.
- Consent: Analytics and marketing cookies are only used with your explicit consent, which you can provide or withdraw at any time via our cookie banner or the "Manage Cookies" link in the footer.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. You can manage your cookie settings at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookies" link in the footer or the cookie banner.
To customize your preferences:
- Essential Cookies: Always enabled, as they are required for the website to function.
- Analytics Cookies: Enable or disable Google Analytics tracking.

Your preferences are stored in your browser’s local storage and can be updated at any time. You can also clear cookies via your browser settings, but this may reset your preferences and affect site functionality.
6. Third-Party Cookies
We use Google Analytics, a third-party service, to collect anonymized usage data. Google Analytics may set cookies on your device if you consent to analytics cookies. These cookies are subject to Google’s privacy policies, which you can review at Google’s Privacy Policy.
No other third-party cookies are used unless explicitly stated and consented to by you.
7. Data Retention
Essential cookies are stored only for as long as necessary to provide site functionality, typically until the end of your browsing session or as needed for persistent settings (e.g., theme or language preferences). Analytics and marketing cookies, if enabled, are retained for up to 24 months, as configured in Google Analytics. You can delete cookies at any time via your browser settings.
