Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026. This policy applies to swissprivateproperties.com.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website operator. This policy also covers similar technologies such as local storage and session storage.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the secure operation of certain features of this website. They cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality they support.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Maintains the authenticated session for the admin area. Set only when an administrator logs in at /admin/. Never set for public visitors. | Session / 7 days | Admin only |
No cookies are set for visitors who do not access the admin area. Public browsing of property listings, search, and enquiry forms does not result in any cookie being placed on your device.
2.2 Analytics and Advertising Cookies
Swiss Private Properties does not currently use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any other analytics or advertising tracking technologies. No such cookies are set on this website.
If analytics or advertising technologies are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated, a consent mechanism will be implemented, and visitors will be informed before any non-essential cookies are placed.
3. Third-Party Services
3.1 WhatsApp
This website contains links that open WhatsApp with a pre-filled message. These are standard hyperlinks — clicking them opens the WhatsApp application or website on your device. Swiss Private Properties does not set any cookies or tracking pixels in connection with these links. WhatsApp's privacy policy.
3.2 Hosting Infrastructure
This website is hosted on GoDaddy infrastructure. The hosting provider may process standard server-level data (IP addresses, access logs) as part of normal operations. This is handled at the infrastructure level and does not involve cookies placed on your device by Swiss Private Properties.
4. Legal Basis
The strictly necessary admin session cookie is placed on the basis of legitimate interest in securing the administration interface. It is only set when an administrator actively logs in and is not used for any tracking or profiling purpose.
Under Swiss law (nDSG) and EU Directive 2009/136/EC, consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies. As no non-essential cookies are currently used, no consent banner is displayed to public visitors.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
Note that disabling the admin session cookie will prevent access to the administration area. Public browsing of the website is not affected.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies used on this website change. The current version is always available at this URL. If non-essential cookies are introduced, we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms before placing any such cookies.
