This Cookie Policy supplements the Privacy Policy of www.fuelcyclemanagement.com and explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on this website, for what purposes, and what choices you have.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They make it possible to recognize information about your usage behaviour, to make the website functional and user-friendly, and to statistically evaluate usage. In addition to classic cookies, similar technologies such as local storage, pixels or tags may be used; the provisions of this policy apply by analogy to these technologies as well.

In particular, a distinction is made between:

  • Session cookies: stored only for the duration of your visit and automatically deleted once you close the browser.
  • Persistent cookies: remain stored on your device beyond the end of the browser session for a specified period or until manually deleted.
  • First-party cookies: set directly by www.fuelcyclemanagement.com.
  • Third-party cookies: set by third-party services integrated into the website (e.g. map services, analytics tools).

3. Legal Basis

The use of cookies is in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revised FADP, SR 235.1, Fedlex) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We use technically necessary cookies based on our legitimate interest in the error-free and secure operation of the website (Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR by analogy). We only use non-essential cookies, in particular for statistical or marketing purposes, with your prior consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent is required under applicable law. You may withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future (see section 6).

4. What Categories of Cookies Do We Use?

4.1 Technically necessary cookies. These cookies are required for the operation and basic functions of the website, for example navigation, connection security, or storing your cookie settings. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. You cannot object to the use of these cookies without impairing the functionality of the website.

4.2 Functional cookies. These cookies enable extended functionality and convenience, for example remembering language settings or form fields already filled in for a product or membership enquiry.

4.3 Statistics and analytics cookies. Where used, these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website (e.g. pages visited, time spent, origin of access), so that we can continuously improve the Cluster 3 offering. The data is evaluated in pseudonymized or anonymized form wherever possible.

4.4 Cookies from integrated third-party services. Where content or functions of third parties are integrated into the website — such as map services (e.g. Google Maps) for displaying locations, video platforms (e.g. YouTube), or spam-protection systems (e.g. Google reCAPTCHA) — the respective providers may set their own cookies and process data, potentially including the IP address, in some cases with transfer to third countries such as the USA. Such services are only integrated if the providers offer adequate data protection guarantees or your consent has been given. Further information can be found in the respective providers' privacy notices.

5. Cookie Overview

The following overview will be completed once individual cookies are technically in active use. It serves as a template for the information to be documented:

Once specific cookies are technically in use, this table will be updated with the actual names, providers, purposes and durations.

6. Your Choices and Right to Object

You have various options for controlling the use of cookies:

  • Cookie settings on the website: Where a cookie consent banner is used, you can make your selection for non-essential cookies there and adjust it at any time.
  • Browser settings: You can configure your browser settings to generally refuse cookies, allow them only for certain websites, or delete cookies already stored. Please note that if you disable cookies generally, not all functions of this website may be fully usable.
  • Objecting to online marketing cookies: A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services via the US site aboutads.info/choices or the European site youronlinechoices.com.
  • Withdrawing consent: You may withdraw any consent given for non-essential cookies at any time with effect for the future, by contacting the contact person named in section 1 or adjusting your cookie settings on the website.

7. Rights of Data Subjects

To the extent personal data is processed via cookies, you have the rights described in our Privacy Policy, in particular the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, Feldeggweg 1, CH-3003 Bern, www.edoeb.admin.ch) or, where the GDPR applies, with the competent supervisory authority of your country of residence.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Cookie Policy at any time, in particular when introducing new features, services or cookie technologies on this website. The version published on the website at the time of your visit applies.
