Cookie policy of shwag.ch
Latest update: 15 February 2026
Introduction
This policy informs users about technologies that allow the site Owner to access and store information on devices. The document defines all such technologies as “trackers” for simplicity, though specific types like cookies apply only to web browsers.
The site uses both first-party trackers managed directly by the Owner and third-party trackers enabling external services. Users may withdraw consent for tracker usage at any time.
