01 What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device so that it can recognise the browser on a later request. Similar technologies - local storage, pixels and tags - work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy as well.
Some cookies exist only for the duration of a visit (session cookies) and are removed when the browser is closed. Others remain for a defined period (persistent cookies), so that a preference or a measurement can be carried over between visits.
02 How we use cookies
MONVIQ uses cookies sparingly. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to be delivered securely are set automatically. Everything else - functional, analytics and marketing cookies - is set only after you have given consent, and can be withdrawn at any time.
03 Categories of cookies
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session handling, security, protection of forms against misuse | Session to 12 months | Not required |
| Functional | Remembering preferences such as language or a closed notice | Up to 12 months | Required |
| Analytics | Understanding, in aggregate, which pages are used and where visitors leave | Up to 24 months | Required |
| Marketing | Measuring campaigns and showing relevant content on third-party platforms | Up to 24 months | Required |
04 Cookies used on this website
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| monviq_session | MONVIQ (first party) | Keeps the session state needed to deliver pages and submit forms securely | Session |
| XSRF-TOKEN | MONVIQ (first party) | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |
Both cookies are strictly necessary and are not used for analysis or advertising. No analytics or marketing cookies are set unless such a tool is activated, listed in this table and covered by consent.
05 Consent and withdrawal
Where consent is required, it is requested before the cookie is set, is given by an unambiguous action, and is recorded together with the time and the scope of what was accepted.
You can withdraw consent at any time, with effect for the future, by changing your choice in the cookie settings of this website or by deleting the cookies in your browser.
06 Managing cookies in your browser
Independently of any consent given here, every common browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. The setting is usually found under privacy or site data:
- Google Chrome - Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies.
- Safari - Settings, Privacy, Manage website data.
- Mozilla Firefox - Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data.
- Microsoft Edge - Settings, Cookies and site permissions.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of this website - in particular forms - from working correctly.
07 Third-party cookies
If content from third parties - for example an embedded map or video - is added to this website, that provider may set its own cookies and receive technical data such as your IP address. Such content is loaded only after consent, and the provider is then named in the table above.
08 Changes to this policy
This policy is updated whenever the cookies in use change. The date at the top of the document shows when it was last revised. How personal data is processed more generally is described in the Privacy Policy.
