If there is no statutory requirement to retain data, the log files will be deleted and/or overwritten by more recent log files as soon as you leave our website.

If we use suppliers for individual functions of our service or want to use your data for marketing purposes, we will notify you of the relevant procedures. We will also state the criteria that determine the storage period.

Data processing

We only process your personal data in accordance with statutory requirements (Federal Act on Data Protection, Data Protection Ordinance and other relevant provisions), provided that this is required to provide a functional website along with our content and services. Your personal data will generally only be processed after we have obtained your consent. The exception to this are cases where, for practical reasons, it is not possible to obtain your prior consent and the processing of data is permitted by law.

Use of cookies

In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are also stored on your computer when you use our website.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data produced by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and prevent Google from processing this data.

This website uses the following session cookies:

• _gat alfred-mueller.ch (HTTP cookie) is used by Google Analytics to restrict the request rate
• _gid alfred-mueller.ch (HTTP cookie) registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data about your use of the website

Use of analysis tools

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed.

However, your IP address is usually anonymised within Switzerland/the EU/the EEA and only then transmitted to Google servers in the US. Therefore, Google will be unaware of your visit to this website unless you are logged into a personal Google account (Google account ‘myaccount’, YouTube, Google Maps, etc.) while visiting this website.

Google does not combine the IP address transmitted to Google Analytics by your browser with other data.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’. This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, which prevents them being linked to a particular individual.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services associated with website and internet use.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all of the functions of this website.

If you never want to allow Google Analytics, install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. Download: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
This website also uses Google Analytics to analyse visitor flows across devices, which is carried out via a user ID. You can disable this cross-device analysis of your usage in your customer account under ‘My data’, ‘Personal data’
