Server log data

When you visit our website, our web server automatically collects information about your devices, in particular the IP address assigned to your device. This is necessary for technical reasons and is essential to enable us to transmit content. Such information will not be linked with your personal data.

Cookies

Cookies are used on our website. When you visit our website, cookies will be stored locally by your browser. The locally stored cookies allow us to identify your browser when you visit our website repeatedly.

Session cookies remain stored for the duration of the use of the browser or the website and are deleted from memory no later than when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies enable certain preferences and settings for our website to be stored in the browser so that they can be retrieved when you visit our website again. Permanent cookies are deleted at the end of the defined storage period.

The user has control over the cookies. On www.gr-law.ch, users may accept or reject cookies that are not technically necessary, as well as exclude, restrict and delete stored cookies via their browser settings.

Web analysis

Our website uses Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, including the related cookies, which enable us to analyse the behaviour of visitors to our website (search terms, timing and frequency of page access etc.). This serves to improve the quality of our website and content and helps us to optimise the website and better tailor it to the needs of visitors; for this reason, it is our assumption that we have overriding legitimate interests in this regard.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting information exclusively for this website by opting out from Google Analytics cookies in your cookie settings.

Further information concerning Google’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy can be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (IP masking).

Embedded Functions

Our website integrates map material of the Google Maps service provided by Google Ireland Limited. When visitors use Google Maps, Google processes and uses data about their use of the map material. This may include, in particular, IP addresses and (depending on the user’s browser settings) location data. You may also opt in or out from the setting of Google Maps cookies via your cookie settings at any time.

When you register for the newsletter, the data from the data form (name and e-mail address, indication as to whether the newsletter should be sent by e-mail or post, optionally your address) will be transmitted.
