Introduction
Lox Management Consultancy and its affiliated entities (“Lox Management Consultancy”, “we”, or “us”) appreciate your visit to our website or applications and your interest in our services. The protection of your personal data is of utmost importance to us, and we want you to be able to use our websites, applications, and services with complete confidence. We take great care to ensure that your information is handled responsibly and in full compliance with applicable legal requirements.
This page explains how we set and access cookies, similar technologies, and device identifiers (collectively referred to as “cookies”) when you use our websites, applications, and services—including advertising tools, products, platforms, technologies, and branded solutions—or when you visit a website, application, or service that integrates our technologies. Further details about how we process personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies, similar technologies and device identifiers
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your electronic device when you visit a website or application, or when you use our services. Similar technologies operate by recognising users of our websites, applications, or services—allowing us to tailor our products in ways that are more relevant and engaging for you. Device identifiers may be randomly generated or derived from existing system information, such as IP addresses, browser types and versions, operating systems and associated settings, device specifications, as well as mobile and advertising identifiers including Advertising ID and Vendor ID (Apple), Android ID and Play Store Ad ID (Google), ISDN service numbers, Wireless UIDH, publicly available telephone data, mobile network information, and software details.
Generally, cookies, similar technologies, and device identifiers help make your use of Lox Management Consultancy’s websites, applications, and services—as well as those of certain third-party providers—more convenient and efficient. They can be used to apply user preferences, support personalised environments (including customised content and advertising), and link users, devices, and accounts where appropriate. Some cookies remain active only while you are browsing a specific site, application, or service, while others preserve your settings and preferences as you move between different platforms or interactions.
What types of cookies do we use and what are their characteristics
To support the usability, interactivity, relevance, and security of our websites and applications, Lox Management Consultancy employs a variety of cookies and similar technologies. These include both persistent cookies, which remain stored on your device for a defined period and reactivate each time you return to the originating website or application, and session cookies, which exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted once the browser is closed.
Cookies serve different functions. Functional cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our websites and applications. They enable core features, support secure data transmission, and store essential preferences such as language and location settings, as well as your cookie-consent choices. Because these cookies are indispensable to the proper functioning of the site and cannot be disabled, your consent is not required for their use. While you may configure your browser to block or alert you to them, doing so may impair certain features or cause sections of the site or application to stop functioning.
Advertising and targeting cookies help identify you—often through your IP address and geographical location—and allow us to assess how you use our website or application. This information enables us to provide relevant products and services and measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities. Such cookies may be set by us or by approved third parties and may be used to determine your interests, allowing advertisements to be displayed to you on external websites or applications. Social media platforms may also use these cookies to recognise user segments and display tailored offers on our behalf. You may opt out of advertising and targeting cookies at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences. Where third-party providers manage these cookies for us, we require them contractually to comply with applicable data-protection regulations and to refrain from using the collected information for their own purposes.
Analytical and statistical cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with our website and applications by counting visits, identifying traffic sources, and analysing navigation patterns. They help us determine which pages are most frequently viewed, whether any pages cause error messages, and how overall performance can be improved. These cookies may also support the use of external services, such as embedded videos or feedback tools. We configure analytical cookies to avoid storing personally identifiable information whenever possible, and we require third-party providers to comply with data-protection laws and to refrain from using the collected information for their own purposes. Lox Management Consultancy uses the resulting data only in aggregated, anonymous form.
Performance and tracking cookies record a range of information relating to your use of the website or application, such as browsing behaviour, purchases, preferences, IP addresses, and geographic location. These cookies allow us to track user sessions and activity, enabling us to deliver a more personalised and optimised online experience. As with other categories, these cookies may be managed on our behalf by third-party providers who are bound by contractual obligations to maintain compliance with data-protection regulations and to refrain from using the data for their own independent purposes.
Are cookies used by third parties and partners
Lox Management Consultancy occasionally incorporates third-party plug-ins and components into its websites and applications to enhance the overall user experience and, in particular, to improve the performance of our online advertising campaigns. These plug-ins may employ cookies or similar technologies for related purposes. Neither Lox Management Consultancy nor the external providers have access to data collected by the other party through these cookies. We also use cookies to display Lox Management Consultancy advertisements when you visit third-party websites with which we maintain marketing relationships. In some cases, these external partners collect and provide us with anonymised information about your interaction with our websites and other online services, including geographical data, browsing patterns, and the names of websites displaying our advertisements. Lox Management Consultancy uses this aggregated data to deliver more relevant advertising and to improve the effectiveness of our marketing activities.
The information collected for these purposes is generally obtained through cookies and transmitted to a third-party server—such as those operated by Google Analytics (a service of Google Ireland Limited) or Siteimprove (Siteimprove A/S)—and is not linked to personally identifiable information. Depending on the provider, such servers may be located outside Switzerland. These systems primarily collect anonymised technical data, including the host name or truncated IP address of the accessing device, the URLs from which visitors arrive at or are directed away from Lox Management Consultancy websites or applications, the time of access, browser type and version, device make and operating system, and other device-specific details such as screen resolution.
Each third-party provider is independently responsible for the processing of personal data as described in this section. They determine, at their own discretion, the purposes and means by which the transmitted data is processed on their servers. The collection, processing, and use of such information are governed exclusively by the privacy policies of the respective providers. These policies also set out the rights available to you and the steps you may take to protect your privacy. We also refer you to the terms of service applicable to our social media channels.
We use analytics services provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (“Facebook”) to evaluate usage of our website and to gather insights that help us improve our services. Our website integrates Facebook plug-ins that rely on cookies to collect information such as visitor numbers or demographic trends. Lox Management Consultancy processes only aggregated or otherwise anonymised information derived from these tools; Facebook alone is capable of linking such data to an identifiable individual. Accordingly, Facebook is solely responsible for collecting and processing this personal data. The purposes and methods for which Facebook collects, uses, and processes such information are governed by the Facebook Data Protection Guidelines, where you can also find details about your rights and options for managing your privacy. You may opt out of this processing at any time.
We use advertising and analytics services provided by Google LLC (“Google”) to analyse website usage and obtain insights that support the improvement of our services. Cookies allow us to measure visitor numbers and demographic information. Lox Management Consultancy receives only aggregated or anonymised results; Google alone is capable of linking the data to an identifiable person. Our use of Google’s advertising technology is based on our legitimate interest in targeting potential customers more effectively. You may opt out of this processing at any time. We also use IP anonymisation, meaning that within Switzerland, the EU, or the EEA, your IP address is shortened before being processed; only in exceptional situations is the full IP address transmitted to Google’s servers.
Our website may use technology from Instagram Inc. (“Instagram”). This includes integrated buttons linking to our Instagram profile, as well as widgets that display selected images and videos directly on our website. When you visit a page containing such features, your browser establishes a direct connection with Instagram’s servers. Data is transmitted automatically and incorporated into the website, including your IP address, date and time of access, the URLs of visited pages, and details about your browser and operating system. This allows Instagram to track your visit to our website, even if you are not actively interacting with Instagram elements.
How can you change your cookie preferences
On Lox Management Consultancy websites and applications, you may adjust your cookie preferences at any time to reflect your individual choices. You may subsequently deactivate cookies, thereby withdrawing your consent; any data processed prior to withdrawal will remain lawful, while future processing will cease. To amend your preferences, simply select the option titled Change cookie settings.
Once saved, your settings will normally apply to future visits to Lox Management Consultancy websites and applications. However, due to technical factors beyond our control, this cannot always be guaranteed. If you restart your browser, delete cookies, or access our websites or applications using a different browser or device, your preferences may no longer be recognised. In certain jurisdictions, applicable legislation may require you to confirm your cookie preferences upon your first visit, and in some cases, you may be prompted to do so again during subsequent visits.
You may also manage cookie usage directly through your browser settings. Depending on the browser, you may choose to receive warnings before accepting cookies, block them entirely, or set your browser to reject cookies by default. Further guidance is typically available in the browser’s help section. Cookies that you do not wish to retain may be deleted manually through your browser settings.
