Your choices for audience measurement and browser data.
Explicit consent before measurement
Google Analytics can operate only on the production website, after the service has been enabled and you have explicitly consented. Before consent and after refusal, no Google Analytics tag loads and no request, measurement data or consent signal is sent to Google Analytics.
When the service is active, cookie management lets you accept audience measurement, refuse it or customise your choice. Refusal does not prevent access to the website. Advertising remains disabled whatever you choose. You can change your choice or withdraw consent from the footer.
Optional Google Maps map
The Geneva office map is blocked until you select its display button. It then connects to Google, which may use cookies and process technical data under its own privacy rules. This choice is separate from audience measurement and is not saved in this website’s browser storage. You can remove the map using its control; the address and the external Google Maps link remain available.
Stored items and retention
- Consent choice — gig_cookie_choice_v1
- Local storage in your browser, only after an explicit choice while the service is active. Purpose: respect your choice on later visits. Retention: 183 days from that choice.
- _ga cookie
- Google Analytics: distinguishes browsers for audience measurement. It is created only after activation and consent.
- _ga_* cookies
- Google Analytics: maintains session state. They are created only after activation and consent.
Google specifies a default expiry of two years for _ga and _ga_* cookies, which may be renewed on each visit. Service settings and browser limits determine their actual lifetime. See the GA4 cookie documentation.
Language selection uses the page address, without a language cookie. While Google Analytics is disabled, opening or closing the information panel does not record a choice in your browser.
Purpose, data and provider
Once enabled and accepted, measurement helps understand page use and improve the website. It may cover a pseudonymous browser identifier, configured pages and events, timestamps, referral source and technical visit characteristics. Connecting to the service also transmits the IP address.
The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, using Google LLC and processing in the United States. Your emails and professional case files are not sent to Google Analytics.
The selected retention period for future activation of user-level and event-level data is two months; this does not limit standard aggregated reports. See the GA4 retention rules. Recipients and transfer safeguards are described in the privacy policy.
Infrastructure and browser settings
Displaying and protecting pages requires requests to the host and its delivery network. These technical exchanges are separate from Google Analytics and advertising.
You can manage cookies and browsing data in your browser settings. Clearing local storage also removes the saved choice; a new choice will be requested if optional measurement is active.
