Cookie policy
In line with European legislation, Healthy-Meals.ch wants to make sure that every user of the website understands what cookies are and why they are used, so that they can consciously decide whether or not to accept their use.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number which is transferred by the website to the computer's hard drive by means of an anonymous code that can identify the computer, but not the user, and can passively monitor activity on the website.
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Performance cookies
- Functional cookies
- Profiling cookies
This website uses only the first three categories of cookies, for which no consent is required.
1. Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable navigation on the website and the use of its features, such as access to certain protected areas. Without these cookies, some requested functions — such as signing in to the website or creating an online shopping cart — could not be provided.
2. Analytical cookies: These cookies collect information about how users use the website, for example which pages are visited most often and whether users receive error messages from those pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a specific visitor. All the information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is used only to improve how the website works.
These cookies can be treated as “technical cookies” where, alternatively, (i) they are used directly by the website administrator to collect information in aggregated form, or (ii) they are managed by third parties and specific means are used to reduce the capacity of the cookies to identify users (for example by masking a substantial part of the IP address), and where the third-party provider uses them exclusively to provide the service. For example, they store cookie data separately without cross-referencing it or enriching it with other available personal data.
3. Functional cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember the choices the user has made (for example your user name, your language or the geographical area in which you live) in order to optimise and provide enhanced features. These cookies may also be used to provide features you have requested, such as playing a video or commenting on a blog. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymous and must not track user navigation and activity on other websites.
These cookies may also be referred to as technical cookies.
The cookies mentioned above are defined as persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time they are created.
Managing cookie settings
Some of the cookies used on our websites are set by us, while others are set by third parties who provide services on our behalf.
Third-party cookies
Some third-party cookies are set by services included on our pages. They are managed by the operators of those services and are not under our control. We invite users to review the privacy policy and the instructions for deleting the cookies set by these services at the links listed in the following sections. Third parties bear full responsibility for third-party cookies.
Healthy-Meals.ch accepts no responsibility for the content and cookies of external links, which may be changed by their respective operators without prior notice. Healthy-Meals.ch makes information about the use of third-party cookies and links to third-party information available to the user.
Google Analytics cookies
Healthy-Meals.ch includes components provided by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). These are third-party cookies collected and managed in aggregated form in order to monitor and improve the performance of our websites (analytics cookies).
By default, Google Analytics uses cookies to collect and analyse information about user behaviour on the website, including their IP address. This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it in order to produce reports on user activity on the website. This website: (i) uses anonymisation by masking the IP address, so that Google Analytics removes the last 8 digits of the user's IP address before the data is stored or used (for more information see “IP anonymisation in Google Analytics”, or visit Google's security and privacy information); (ii) does not use Google's analytics tool, and does not allow third parties, to track or collect sensitive information or data. The use of these cookies is subject to contractual restrictions with Google, which recall Google's obligation to use these cookies solely to provide the service, to store them separately and not to “enrich” or “cross-reference” them with other available information. At this point, Healthy-Meals.ch confirms that no additional Google Analytics services are used.
