Cookie Policy — Switzerland
Last updated: 26 July 2026This page describes every cookie and comparable storage technology used by paak.club. It is addressed to visitors in Switzerland and follows the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP / FADP, SR 235.1), in force since 1 September 2023, and — where applicable — the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that a website places on your device when you visit it. It lets the site remember information such as language preferences or your consent choice.
Paak also uses localStorage, a similar in-browser storage mechanism, to record your decision on the consent banner.
Our principle: no trackers without consent
No analytics cookie is set before you have explicitly agreed through the banner shown on your first visit. Only strictly necessary storage is active by default.
Note — voluntary over-compliance. Swiss law (Telecommunications Act Art. 45c and the FDPIC guideline of 3 February 2025 on cookies, expanded on 6 October 2025) permits an inform-and-opt-out regime by default for non-sensitive analytics cookies: it is enough to inform the person and give them the ability to refuse. Explicit prior consent is strictly required only where sensitive data or high-risk profiling is processed, or where the controller has chosen consent as the legal basis. For consistency with our French practice, and to offer every visitor the same standard, we voluntarily apply the CNIL's explicit opt-in regime here as well — this is over-compliance, not a Swiss legal minimum.
Full list of trackers in use
Strictly necessary (no consent required)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Issued by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
paak_cookie_consent | localStorage | Stores your decision (accept / refuse) on the consent banner so it does not appear again. Consent is re-confirmed after 6 months. | 6 months | paak.club |
Analytics cookies (only after you agree)
These cookies are set by our self-hosted Matomo instance at analytics.paak.club (OVHcloud server in Roubaix, France — the EU is listed in Annex 1 of the Data Protection Ordinance SR 235.11 as providing an adequate level of protection). No data whatsoever is sent to Google Analytics or to any US third party. Matomo is configured to anonymise IP addresses (last octet discarded) and to respect the "Do Not Track" signal.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Issued by |

_pk_id.* | Cookie | Anonymised identifier used to distinguish unique visitors (audience measurement). | 13 months max. | Matomo (analytics.paak.club, France) |
_pk_ses.* | Cookie | Tracks an ongoing session (a visit is not the same as a visitor). | 30 minutes | Matomo (analytics.paak.club, France) |
Advertising, social networks, personalisation
None. Paak uses no advertising cookies, no Facebook pixel, no social-media cookies and no US third-party scripts.
How to manage your consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time in three ways:

- The button below — reopens the consent banner so you can adjust your choice.
