Maria MarcèsScope
This Cookie Policy explains how the Marcès website uses cookies and similar technologies. We use them narrowly: to protect the Website and, only with your consent, to understand in aggregate how it is used.
The Website does not use advertising cookies, behavioural advertising, remarketing or the sale of personal data.
Cookies are small text files placed on a device by a website. Similar technologies may use browser storage or process technical information without setting a conventional cookie. For clarity, this policy refers to both as cookies and similar technologies.
Technologies in use
The Website currently uses the following categories:
| Category | Technology | Purpose | When used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Choice storage | Browser local storage cookieConsent | Records whether analytics has been accepted or declined, so that the consent notice is not shown on every visit. | Necessary to remember your choice. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | Measures Website use in aggregate, including page views and technical usage information, to improve content and performance. | Only after you select Accept. |
| Security | Cloudflare Turnstile | Protects the contact form and Website against automated submissions, spam and abuse. | Necessary for security. |
Local storage is not a cookie. It remains on your browser until you clear Website data or change your choice, it does not itself contain analytics data.
Your choice
When you first visit the Website, you can either accept or decline analytics. Declining analytics does not affect access to the Website or the contact form.
If you accept, the Website stores the value accepted in your browser’s local storage and then loads Google Analytics. If you decline, it stores the value declined and Google Analytics is not loaded.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Selecting Review cookie choices removes the stored choice and Google Analytics cookies, then returns you to the Website where the consent notice is shown again. You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking security technologies may affect the contact form.
Review cookie choicesAnalytics
Subject to your consent, the Website uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the Website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors reach the Website, approximate geographic region, browser and device type, and aggregate interaction patterns.
Google Analytics may use the following first-party cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for analytics purposes. | Up to 2 years from the most recent visit, subject to browser settings and Google Analytics configuration. |
| _ga_<measurement-id> | Maintains session state for analytics purposes. | Up to 2 years from the most recent visit, subject to browser settings and Google Analytics configuration. |
We use Google Analytics to improve the Website, not to identify visitors personally. We do not use Google Analytics advertising features, Google Ads remarketing, audience building or personalised advertising.
Further information on Google’s processing of personal data is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Security and spam prevention
The Website uses Cloudflare Turnstile for the contact form. Turnstile helps distinguish legitimate visitors from automated systems and protects the contact channel from spam and abuse.
For this purpose, Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device characteristics, page-interaction data and security signals. This processing is necessary to protect the Website and the integrity of communications submitted through it.
Further information is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
International transfers
Google and Cloudflare may process or access personal data outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where required by applicable law, such transfers are subject to appropriate transfer safeguards.
Where consent is required by applicable law, analytics is used only after that consent has been given. Security processing is carried out to protect the Website and its contact channel.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy where the Website, the technologies used or applicable legal requirements change. The current version is published on this page.

Questions about cookies, similar technologies or the processing of personal data may be submitted through the contact form available on the Website.
