Cookie and Tracking Policy
Information on the use of cookies on Swisscanto's websites.
When you visit our digital platforms, the details of your visit (e.g. your IP address, the website from which you visit us or the Swisscanto website you are currently visiting, including the date and duration of your visit, hereinafter referred to as "tracking data") are automatically registered. Tracking data is used to optimise the content offered on our communication channels, in particular our websites, and to provide information on how you can find out about our products and services and use them.
This Cookie and Tracking Policy describes how such tracking data is collected and handled. This Policy may be updated at any time. Please check this page regularly for the latest version.
Scope of the Cookie and Tracking Policy
This Cookie and Tracking Policy applies to Swisscanto's digital platforms, which refer to it. In particular, it applies to Swisscanto's main website swisscanto.com, www.swisscanto-fondsleitungen.com/en and subpages (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Swisscanto website").
For certain digital platforms, e.g. social media channels, separate applications or websites, there may be additional or different provisions for the use of tracking data. These are available on the corresponding digital platforms and take precedence in these cases.
Swisscanto has no influence over digital sites that comment on or about Swisscanto, but are not operated by Swisscanto or on its behalf. This Cookie and Tracking Policy does not apply in this case.
Which tracking technology do we use?
In connection with our digital platforms, we use cookies, software development kits (hereinafter referred to as "SDKs") and other measurement technologies (hereinafter referred to as "tracking technologies").
Some of our tracking technologies are necessary for the provision and proper functioning of our digital platforms. Their use cannot be waived (hereinafter referred to as "necessary tracking technologies"). Other tracking technologies are used for statistical evaluation and to improve your user experience, e.g. through personalised offers or by displaying advertising on external websites. You can adjust the settings for the use of tracking technologies to your preferences at any time.
What are tracking technologies and how do the work?
We use various tracking technologies on our digital platforms, in particular cookies and SDKs. A list of the cookies and SDKs used can be found in the "Which third-party cookies and tracking SDKs do we use?" section.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files which are stored in your browser. This allows the digital platform (e.g. the Swisscanto website) to remember certain inputs and settings (e.g. login, language, usage, preferences and statistics) over a certain period of time.
Cookies can be set as first-party cookies by saving them on the domain of the respective website (e.g. Swisscanto website). These first-party cookies can only be read by the operators of the respective website (in this case the Swisscanto website). These first-party cookies are set by means of the operator's technical integrations (i.e. by Swisscanto) or by the integration of third-party products (e.g. Adobe Analytics).
Cookies can also be set as third-party cookies. This happens when the cookies can also be read directly by other websites and website operators. Swisscanto uses third-party cookies very sparingly and only in publicly accessible areas.
How long are cookies stored in your browser?
Some cookies are automatically deleted as soon as the browser session has ended or after a specified period of time. Certain cookies are permanently stored in the browser for technical reasons, unless deleted by the user or reset by the user during a subsequent visit to the digital platforms.
What data is stored and processed?
The tracking technologies used with your consent read tracking data (e.g. the webpage or URL you are currently visiting, including the date and duration of your visit as well as technical data on your device such as browser, operating system and IP address). This tracking data is required for statistical purposes for the optimisation and further development of the digital platform and for the display of offers and content tailored to your interests.
If you decline the use of tracking technologies, we will only use necessary tracking technologies on the Swisscanto website to enable the proper functioning of our digital platforms.
Tracking data generally does not contain any directly personally identifiable characteristics. However, Swisscanto may merge tracking data with other data already held internally and thus possibly establish links to personal identities. If a link to a personal identity is established, Swisscanto may process this personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy and, in particular, use it for the purposes described therein.
- Privacy Policy for users in Switzerland
- Privacy Policy for users abroad
If third-party products are used for tracking on Swisscanto's digital channels, Swisscanto will only forward pseudonymised data to these third-party providers. This data in itself does not allow the third-party providers to identify a specific person.
Which third-party cookies and SDKs do we use?
Besides cookies from our own systems, we use cookies and SDKs from service providers and third-party products. An overview of these products can be found below.
