Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026 Operator: Envestis SA, Via Pretorio 13A, 6900 Lugano, Switzerland — [email protected]
1. What this Policy covers
1.1. This Cookie Policy explains how the ciaopost website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (pixels, tags, local storage), what they do, and how you can control them.
1.2. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies and pixels are
2.1. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
2.2. Pixels (tracking pixels / tags) are small pieces of code from third parties (e.g. advertising platforms) that load on a page and send information about your visit to that third party, typically to measure and target advertising.
2.3. Local storage is a browser mechanism to store data on your device.
We refer to all of these as “cookies” in this Policy for simplicity.
3. The categories of cookies we use
3.1. Strictly necessary (always on — no consent required)
This website sets no cookies at all. Nothing here needs one to work, so nothing here has one.
The only thing we keep on your device is the choice you make below, and it is stored in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie. It never leaves your device, it is never sent to us, and clearing your browser data removes it — at which point we simply ask you again.
The tables that follow describe what loads if you allow it. Until you do, none of it is on this page.
3.2. Analytics (consent required)
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
| Cookie / technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one visitor from another | 2 years |
_ga_<container> | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the session state | 2 years |
3.3. Advertising and social pixels (consent required)
These are set by third-party advertising and social platforms to measure the performance of our advertising and to build audiences. They do not load unless and until you consent. These third parties act as independent or joint controllers for the data they collect; their own privacy policies apply.
| Pixel / tag | Provider | Purpose | Provider’s policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meta Pixel | Meta Platforms (Facebook/Instagram) | Ad measurement, retargeting, audiences | facebook.com/privacy |
| TikTok Pixel | TikTok | Ad measurement, retargeting | tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy |
| LinkedIn Insight Tag | LinkedIn (Microsoft) | Ad measurement, retargeting (B2B) | linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy |
| Google / YouTube tag | Ad measurement, retargeting | policies.google.com/privacy | |
| Pinterest Tag | Ad measurement, retargeting | policy.pinterest.com/privacy-policy | |
| X Pixel | X Corp. | Ad measurement, retargeting | x.com/en/privacy |
4. Legal basis
4.1. Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functioning, secure website; no consent is required for these.
4.2. Analytics and advertising/social pixel cookies are used only with your prior consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and Swiss/EU ePrivacy rules). You can give, refuse, or withdraw consent at any time.
5. Third-party data transfers
Many advertising and social pixels (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Google) transfer data to the United States. Where you consent to these cookies, that transfer occurs on the basis described in our Privacy Policy (§7). If you do not consent, these pixels do not load and no such transfer occurs.
6. How to control cookies
6.1. Consent banner. When you first visit our website, a consent banner lets you accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising pixels) do not load until you accept them. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
6.2. Browser controls. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
6.3. Opt-outs. You can opt out of some advertising cookies directly with the providers listed in §3.3 via their own settings.
7. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our cookies change. We will post the updated version with a new date. Material changes affecting consent may require you to renew your choices.

Appendix — Open Items for Counsel / Implementation (not part of the published Policy)
- Consent banner — must be built and must gate all non-essential tags. Confirm the consent-management approach (self-built vs a CMP like Cookiebot/Usercentrics).
- Exact pixel list — confirm which pixels are actually deployed; list only those.
- Analytics choice — a cookieless analytics tool avoids consent friction; decide.
- Cookie table values — fill in real cookie names and durations once the site and tags are final.
- Transfer mechanism — align with Privacy Policy §7 for each US-based provider.
- Reject-all parity — ensure “reject” is as prominent and easy as “accept” (a frequent enforcement point).
