This notice explains what cookies are and the types of cookies Obsidian AG (“we” or “Obsidian“) use on obsidianfinance.ch and other websites or applications that may link to this Cookie Notice (collectively, the “Sites”).

What are cookies? 

A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings on the device. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a visitor’s device and to target the content displayed to the visitor’s interests.

Do we use cookies on the Sites and, if so, why? 

Yes. By using our website you agree that, unless you have set your computer’s browser to reject them, we can place the types of cookies set out in the table below on your device, and use that data in accordance with this policy.

We use cookies (including HTTP, HTML5 and Flash cookies) and similar technologies (such as web beacons and JavaScript) to: (i) customize and improve the users’ visits to our Sites; (ii) deliver content tailored to the users’ interests and the manner in which they browse our Sites; and (iii) manage our Sites and other aspects of our business. 

What types of cookies are used on the Sites and what choices do you have?

Please note that depending on your selection, you may not be able to take full advantage of the Sites. Please also understand that a cookie will be placed on your device to allow us to remember the selection you make.

Cookie TypeDescription
Strictly Necessary CookiesThese cookies are necessary for the Sites to work, and enable you to move around the Sites and use their services and features. Disabling these cookies will encumber the Sites’ performance and may make these services and features unavailable. Strictly necessary cookies are used to collect session ID and authentication data. These are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser session.
ASP.NET_SessionID: this cookie contains the user session identifier which expires at the end of every session.
Functional CookiesFunctional cookies allow the Sites to help maintain your session and remember the choices you have made in order to provide functionality for your benefit. Functional cookies are used to collect information about your language preferences and other preferences indicated during your visit to the Sites. For example, functional “session” cookies allow the Sites to remember settings specific to you, such as your country selection, which ultimately improves your web experience. Functional cookies also include persistent cookies which are used to remember your preferences when you subsequently visit our Sites. Functional “persistent” cookies expire after 7 days.

For these purposes, analytic cookies collect information about your device type, operating system type, browser type, domain, other system settings, IP address, referring URLs, information on actions taken on the Sites and the dates and times of your visits, as well as the country and time zone in which your device is located. These cookies are provided by our third-party analytics tool provider (Google Analytics) and the information obtained through these cookies will be disclosed to, or collected directly by, this third-party service provider.
