This data is collected to ensure the technical operation of the website and is not used to identify you personally.

4. Website Analytics (WP Statistics)
This website uses WP Statistics, an open-source analytics plugin for WordPress, to help us understand how visitors use our site. Unlike many analytics tools, WP Statistics does not send your data to any third-party servers. All data is collected and stored exclusively on our own server in Switzerland.

WP Statistics collects the following data:

  • Your IP address, which is hashed (one-way encrypted) immediately upon collection and cannot be traced back to you
  • The page visited and referring URL
  • Date and time of your visit
  • Browser type and operating system


No cookies are set by WP Statistics for analytics purposes. Your data is not shared with any third party and is not used for advertising or profiling.

General enquiries that did not result in a purchase are deleted after 2 years.

7. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. The only third party that may receive technical data is our hosting provider, solely for the purpose of operating this website. All analytics data collected via WP Statistics remains on our own server and is never shared with third parties.
