This Cookie Policy explains how Haelixa AG ("Haelixa," "we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on our website at haelisa.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device across multiple visits and to remember your preferences and settings.
In addition to traditional cookies, we also use HTML5 localStorage — a browser-based storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but is handled locally by your browser without transmitting data to our servers. LocalStorage is particularly useful for storing user interface preferences such as your cookie consent choice and announcement bar state.
These are essential for the basic operation of our website and cannot be disabled. They do not require consent.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieConsent |
localStorage | Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted/declined) to prevent repeated display of the consent banner | Persistent (until cleared) |
[hostname]_bar_closed |
localStorage | Remembers whether you have dismissed the funding announcement banner on the homepage | Persistent (until cleared) |
| Session cookies (server) | HTTP cookie | Maintains basic session state for secure areas of the website (if applicable) | Session (expires on browser close) |
We use anonymized analytics to understand how visitors use haelisa.com. These help us improve website content and user experience. These cookies are only set if you have accepted analytics cookies.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _analytics_id | Cookie | Anonymized visitor identifier for measuring unique visitors and session counts. IP addresses are truncated before storage. No personal data is retained. | 26 months |
| _analytics_session | Cookie | Identifies a browsing session (sequence of page views). Helps measure session duration and page flow. | 30 minutes from last activity |
Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 26 months. All analytics data is anonymized after 12 months. We do not use third-party advertising networks, behavioral tracking, or cross-site tracking technologies.
Performance cookies help us optimize the loading speed and layout of our website. They may record which pages load slowly so we can investigate and improve them.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _perf_timing | localStorage | Records page load timing metrics for performance monitoring. No personal data included. | Session |
Haelixa does not use the following types of cookies on haelisa.com:
When you first visit haelisa.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page. This banner allows you to:
Your consent choice is stored in browser localStorage using the key cookieConsent. This is a first-party, client-side storage mechanism — the data is not transmitted to our servers.
Strictly necessary cookies (including the consent preference itself) are exempt from consent requirements under the EU ePrivacy Directive and Swiss FADP, as they are essential for the basic function of the website.
You can configure most browsers to block, delete, or alert you about cookies. Each browser has different settings; visit your browser's help section for specific instructions:
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.
To clear localStorage data set by haelisa.com (including your consent preference), you can use your browser's developer tools:
After clearing localStorage, the cookie consent banner will be displayed again on your next visit.
You may withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing the cookieConsent key from your browser's localStorage for haelisa.com (see Section 5.2 above). On your next page visit, the consent banner will reappear and you can make a new choice.
Our website may load fonts, icons, or other resources from the same server (first-party). We do not embed third-party scripts from external CDNs that would set third-party cookies without your prior consent. If we integrate any third-party services in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly before deployment.
The TraceCloud analytics platform used by enterprise clients may use additional cookies and localStorage for session management, user preferences, and platform functionality. These are governed by the enterprise service agreement and any applicable Data Processing Agreement, not by this website Cookie Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted to this page with a revised "Last updated" date. If we make material changes to the types of cookies used or how we use them, we will reset cookie consent to allow users to review and reconfirm their preferences.
