This Cookie Policy explains how (“Resourceful Thinking”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.resourcefulthinking.ch (the “Site”), what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy forms part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Statement, available at www.resourcefulthinking.ch/privacypolicy , and our Terms of Use / Disclaimer, available at www.resourcefulthinking.ch/terms_of_Service Our Privacy Statement explains more broadly how we collect, use, and protect your personal data; this Cookie Policy focuses specifically on cookies and similar tracking technologies.

1. What Is a Cookie ?

A “cookie” is a small text file that is placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of a website.

Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or actions on the site, so that, when you return, the site can present a more tailored experience. Cookies may also be used to analyse traffic patterns and, in some cases, for marketing purposes.

Cookies are used by the vast majority of websites and, in themselves, do not damage your device or its software.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

By duration

• Session cookies: stored only for the duration of your visit and automatically deleted when you close your browser. They typically store an anonymous session identifier and do not, by themselves, collect personal data.

• Persistent cookies: remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or you delete them, and are read by the website that created them on your next visit. We use persistent cookies for analytics purposes (Google Analytics), for LinkedIn's Insight Tag, and for platform functionality provided by our website host, Squarespace.

By category

• Strictly necessary cookies: essential for the Site to function properly (for example, to remember your cookie consent preferences, or to enable basic navigation, load balancing, and security features). These are set by our website platform, Squarespace, cannot be switched off, as the Site cannot function properly without them, and do not collect information about you for marketing purposes.

• Performance / analytics cookies: allow us to monitor how visitors use the Site, for example, to count visits, identify traffic sources, and see which pages are most popular, so we can measure and improve the Site's performance. We currently use Google Analytics for this purpose.

• Functionality cookies: allow the Site to remember choices you make and to provide enhanced, more personalised features, including where you interact with a newsletter sign-up form.

• Marketing / targeting cookies: used to measure the effectiveness of our content and outreach on third-party platforms, and, where applicable, to help us and our partners deliver more relevant content. We currently use the LinkedIn Insight Tag for this purpose.
