The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to inform you about the use of cookies and other tracking technologies (collectively referred to as "Trackers") on the lyme.ch website (the "Site"). This policy respects your rights regarding the protection of personal data and guarantees complete transparency on the Site's practices regarding the use of these technologies.


1. What is a Tracker?


Trackers are technologies that allow information to be stored and/or accessed on a user's device. Cookies are an example, but they can also be web beacons, pixels, or other similar technologies.

For the sake of simplicity, in this policy, the term "Tracker" includes all these tools, unless a particular type (for example, a cookie) is specifically mentioned.


2. Types of Trackers Used


2.1. Necessary Trackers


Some Trackers are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the Site. These cookies ensure the security of the Site, keep the browsing session active, or other essential functions. These cookies do not require your prior consent, as they are essential for the proper management of the Site.

Examples of purposes:


  • Browsing session management

  • Tracking pages visited and interactions


2.3. Third-Party Trackers


Some Trackers are provided by third-party services, such as Wix.com , which hosts and operates the Site. These cookies may enable these third parties to collect data for specific purposes (e.g., analyzing site performance).

Users should be informed of the data collection practices of these third parties, as well as details regarding their privacy policies and data processing.


3. Consent and Management of Trackers

  • Customize your preferences by selecting the categories of Trackers you wish to accept (e.g., performance cookies only).


The consent given will be free, informed, specific and unequivocal, in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.


3.2. Cookie management after choice


Once you have made your choice via the cookie banner during your first visit, it will no longer be possible to access the cookie management panel to change your preferences. However, you can manage or delete cookies at any time by directly accessing your browser settings.

  • Delete or disable cookies through your device settings: You can also adjust tracking settings in your device options, particularly on mobile devices (privacy or advertising settings).

Your browser settings allow you to manage cookies at any time. You can disable, delete, or block cookies by following the instructions available in your browser settings.


4. Duration of retention of Trackers


Cookies and other trackers have varying retention periods. Some session cookies expire at the end of your browsing session. Persistent cookies, used for example to analyze the performance of the Site, may remain active for several days, weeks, or even months.
