1. Scope of the Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies by Amodeo Design:

• on the public website amodeo.ch;
• on the client portal pk.amodeo.ch.

This Cookie Policy supplements Amodeo Design’s data protection notice and should be read alongside it.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store in the browser or on the device used for browsing. They can, for example, keep a session active, protect a form, remember a preference or collect statistical information about website usage.

Some functions normally performed by cookies can also be implemented using similar technologies, such as session identifiers, local storage, pixels or other technical tools. In this notice, the term “cookies” also includes these technologies when they perform equivalent functions.

Cookies may be:

• session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed;
• persistent cookies, which remain stored until they expire or are deleted;
• first-party cookies, which are managed directly by the website visited;
• third-party cookies, which are managed by an external provider.

3. Categories of cookies used

3.1 Technically necessary cookies

Technically necessary cookies enable the websites to function properly and are not used for advertising or profiling.

They may be used to:

• keep a browsing session active;
• protect forms and requests against misuse;
• ensure security, stability and traffic distribution;
• prevent automated access, fraud and intrusion attempts;
• recognise technical or language preferences;
• store the choice made in the cookie manager;
• authenticate authorised users of the client portal.

These cookies are necessary to provide the requested service and may be set without prior consent. Disabling them through browser settings may impair certain functions or prevent access to private areas.

3.2 Statistical cookies on amodeo.ch

The public website amodeo.ch uses Google Analytics 4 to obtain statistical information on page usage and improve the website’s content, structure and performance.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• pages visited;
• date, time and approximate duration of the visit;
• actions taken while browsing;
• device type, browser and operating system;
• approximate geographical area;
• referring page or website;
• pseudonymous identifiers associated with the browser.

Statistical cookies must remain disabled until the user gives consent through the cookie manager.

Google Analytics normally uses the following cookies:

• _ga: used to distinguish users; default maximum duration of 2 years;
• _ga_<identificativo>: used to retain session state; default maximum duration of 2 years.

The actual duration may be shorter depending on the configuration adopted, withdrawal of consent, manual deletion of cookies or browser settings.

Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. Further information is available in theGoogle Privacy Policy.

Amodeo Design does not currently use cookies for behavioural advertising, remarketing or commercial profiling.

3.3 Cookies on the pk.amodeo.ch portal

The portal pk.amodeo.ch is a private area for Amodeo Design clients.

The Dashboard uses only technically necessary cookies and technologies to:

• authenticate the user;
• send and verify temporary access codes;
• keep the session active;
• correctly associate the user with their client account;
• protect access to private data and functions;
• prevent unauthorised access attempts;
• distinguish legitimate users from automated systems;
• ensure security, stability and traffic distribution.

These functions may involve the technical providers used by the Dashboard, particularly ChatGPT Sites and OpenAI for the application infrastructure, Clerk for authentication and session management, and Cloudflare or other infrastructure providers for security and traffic distribution.

The Dashboard does not currently use Google Analytics, advertising cookies, remarketing systems or profiling technologies.

As the portal uses only technically necessary cookies, no consent banner is displayed. Disabling these cookies in the browser may prevent access to the portal or its proper operation.

4. Managing consent on amodeo.ch

On their first visit to the public website, users can manage non-essential cookies through the cookie manager.

The cookie manager allows users to:

• accept statistical cookies;
• reject statistical cookies;
• view the categories of cookies used;
• subsequently change or withdraw their preferences.

Technically necessary cookies always remain active because they are essential for the website to operate and to store the preferences expressed.

Simply continuing to browse is not considered consent to the use of statistical cookies.

Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time using the “Cookie preferences” control available on amodeo.ch. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before the preferences were changed.

5. Managing cookies through the browser

Users can also view, delete or block cookies through their browser settings.

The steps depend on the browser and device used. These options are generally available in sections dedicated to privacy, security, site data or cookies.

Deleting cookies may result in:

• loss of previously expressed preferences;
• the cookie manager being displayed again;
• being signed out of private areas;
• certain website functions not working;
• inability to access the client portal.

6. Providers and data transfers

The cookies and technologies described on this page may involve:

• Infomaniak Network SA, for hosting and infrastructure of the public website;
• Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC, for Google Analytics, only after the user has given consent;
• OpenAI Ireland Ltd and its subprocessors, for operating the Dashboard through ChatGPT Sites;
• Clerk, Inc., for authentication, account management and session security;
• Cloudflare, Inc. and other infrastructure providers, for security, content delivery and protection against automated access.

Some providers may process data outside Switzerland, the European Union or the European Economic Area. Where necessary, such processing is governed by safeguards provided for by applicable law.

Further information about providers, the purposes of processing and any transfers abroad is available in Amodeo Design’s data protection notice.

7. Cookie duration

Technically necessary cookies are retained only for as long as strictly necessary for their function. Some are deleted when the browser is closed, while others may remain stored to ensure access security or remember preferences.

Google Analytics cookies have a default maximum duration of 2 years, subject to more restrictive configurations, withdrawal of consent or earlier deletion by the user.

The actual duration may also depend on browser settings and updates made by technical providers.

8. Changes to the Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated following changes to the websites, services used, providers or applicable law.

The version in force is the one published on this page, showing the date of the latest update.
