Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the Suisse Wallet website (suissewallet.io) uses cookies and similar technologies. It applies to visitors of our website only — the Suisse Wallet desktop application itself does not use browser cookies.
By continuing to browse our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy. You can withdraw your consent or manage your preferences at any time (see Section 6).
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This Policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use, such as:
- Google Analytics — for anonymised website traffic analysis. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
We do not control the cookies set by third parties. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information.
5. Cookies in the Suisse Wallet Application
The Suisse Wallet desktop application (Windows and macOS) is a standalone software product and does not use browser cookies. Data stored by the application (such as encrypted keys and user preferences) is saved locally on your device using secure, encrypted storage — not via cookies.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete all or specific cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may impair website functionality.
Opt-Out of Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track
Our website respects "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals sent by your browser. When DNT is enabled, we will not load analytics cookies.
7. Data Retention
Cookie data is retained for the duration specified in the tables above. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised — we do not use it to identify individual users. Aggregated analytics data is retained for a maximum of 24 months, after which it is automatically deleted.
8. Legal Basis
Under Swiss data protection law (FADP) and the EU ePrivacy Directive (where applicable):
- Strictly necessary cookies are set based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional, secure website
- Analytics and preference cookies are set based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
