Such information may consist of, but is not limited to, your name, current job title, company address, email address and telephone and fax numbers. We may also store and maintain any content that you provide, including but not limited to postings on any blogs, forums, wikis and other social media applications and services that we may provide.

We do not seek sensitive information (e.g., data relating to race or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, criminal record, physical or mental health, or sexual orientation) from visitors. We will, where necessary, obtain your explicit consent to collect and use such information.

Log information, cookies, and web beacons

This site collects standard internet log information including your IP address, browser type and language, access times, and referring website addresses. To ensure that this Website is well managed and to facilitate improved navigation, we or our service providers may also use cookies to collect aggregate data.

A cookie is a small file which is sent from the web server to the customer’s Internet browser and saved in the customer’s computer.

By using cookies, CWF is able to recognise the customer’s computer again the next time the customer visits our portal or uses cwf.ch services. By doing so it can ensure, for example, that customers do not have to re-enter details already provided previously or register anew for a cwf.ch service on each and every visit.

CWF specifically does not use cookies to collect information on customers’ computers (i.e. spyware) or to display advertisements while customers are not connected to the Internet or when they are surfing outside portals that belong to cwf.ch (i.e. adware).
CWF also uses cookies and similar technologies to allow certain procedures, services and transactions to be executed, e.g. when customers are using a virtual shopping basket to purchase our services.
Cookies are also used for CWF to allow us to recognise identities saved by customers who register for a cwf.ch service (login / password).
Customers can decide to waive the advantages of cookies. They can set their browser so that a warning appears on the screen before a cookie is saved or so that it becomes impossible to implement cookies. Cookies that have already been used can be removed. However, certain services provided by cwf.ch and/or third parties can no longer be used in these cases.
CWF authorises partner companies that provide services on behalf of CWF or are linked to the CWF portal to use cookies, provided that this is technically necessary and that the application of these cookies is proportionate. CWF has no influence on the use of cookies outside the cwf.ch portal.
