1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed onto your workstation or mobile device by a web server. LocalStorage is a complementary HTML5 browser mechanism that stores simple key-value pairs directly in your browser without transmitting them across headers on every HTTP request.
We use these technologies primarily to preserve your privacy selections across multiple page views and ensure our site renders without layout breakage.

3. Essential vs. Non-Essential Distinctions
Strictly Essential: These items are required for the website to function securely and reliably. They do not require prior consent under Swiss or EU law because the service cannot be rendered without them.
Functional & Analytics: These elements allow us to count server requests, optimize image loading times, and track anonymous page routing. If you select "Reject Non-Essential" on our banner, these scripts remain disabled.
