Information current at 30 August 2026
Current use
The public website does not currently use advertising cookies, social-media pixels or an audience-measurement service. It uses a first-party browser storage item to remember the visitor’s privacy choice. Cloudflare may issue strictly necessary security cookies only when a relevant protection or challenge is triggered.
Optional technologies are blocked unless the visitor allows the relevant category. Introducing an optional provider or materially changing a purpose requires an updated policy version and a new choice.
Strictly necessary technologies
iceqc.privacy-choice
First-party local browser storage. Records the policy version, the necessary status, optional category choices and the time of the choice. It is treated as expired after 180 days or when the policy version changes. Local storage is not automatically sent with each web request.
Cloudflare security cookies
Cloudflare may set cf_clearance, __cf_bm or related short-lived cookies when an applicable security, bot-management or challenge control is activated. These cookies distinguish legitimate requests, retain proof of a completed challenge and protect service availability.
Account and transaction services
Authentication, application and payment services may use strictly necessary session or transaction technologies on their own service pages. Their purpose is to maintain a secure session, prevent misuse and complete the requested transaction.
Optional categories
Audience measurement
Would be used only to produce aggregate information about how the public website is used and improved. No audience-measurement service is currently active.
External content
Would be used only to load media or a service supplied by another organization. No external content is currently embedded on the public website.
How the choice works
- On a first visit, the notice remains available until the visitor selects necessary technologies only, allows all categories or saves individual preferences.
- Necessary only and allow all are presented as genuine alternatives; access to public information does not depend on accepting optional technologies.
- Cookie settings in the website footer reopens the controls at any time.
- Withdrawing a choice prevents future optional use. It does not change processing already carried out lawfully.
- If browser storage is cleared, unavailable or expired, the website asks for a new choice.
External websites
Links to the Swiss UID Register, social-media platforms, supervisory authorities or other external websites do not place those providers’ cookies on iceqc.org. After a visitor follows an external link, the destination provider’s privacy and cookie terms apply.
Browser controls and contact
A visitor can also delete or block cookies and local storage through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent account, security or transaction functions from operating correctly.
Questions about the technologies used by ICEQC may be sent to contact@iceqc.org. The Data Protection and Privacy Notice explains the controller, processing purposes, recipients, retention and individual rights.
