Data protection.
This website is built so that simply reading it generates as little data as possible.

When you are simply reading
Displaying a page sets no cookies and loads no third-party resources. Fonts, images, stylesheets and scripts sit on the same server as the page itself. There are no advertising networks, no social media embeds and no analytics scripts in the browser.
As with any web server, technical connection data arise: the shortened internet address of the requesting device, the date and time, the address called up, the status code, the volume of data transferred, the referring page and the browser identifier. These data serve operation, security and troubleshooting. They are not merged with other data sources.
Newsletter
This section concerns only people who subscribe, and only the email address they give on that occasion. Reading the site involves none of these uses.
By ticking the subscription box, you agree that your address may be used for the newsletter and for advertising communications in equine health, animal health and nutrition, aimed at the Swiss market, including retargeting: the address may be passed on in hashed, non-reversible form to advertising platforms in order to build audiences or to exclude people from them. Those platforms may process the data outside Switzerland, under appropriate contractual safeguards. The address is never sold.
No health status is collected, inferred or used for this targeting, neither yours nor your animals'. Addresses are kept on the publisher's server, outside the web root, until you unsubscribe. You may withdraw your consent at any time, through the unsubscribe link or on request: this ends all these uses and deletes the address.
Retention
| Data | Period |
|---|---|
| Server connection logs | 90 days, then automatic deletion |
| Security-relevant logs in the event of an incident | until the investigation is concluded |
| Newsletter subscription | until unsubscription |
| Record of consent | until unsubscription, then one year as proof |
| Letters to the editorial team | for as long as processing lasts, then two years |
Processors and transfer abroad
Your rights
Under the revised Federal Act on Data Protection you have the right to information about the data concerning you, to the rectification of incorrect data, to erasure, to object to processing, and to the release or transfer of your data. You may withdraw a consent you have given at any time, without the processing carried out up to that point becoming unlawful.
To do so, contact the controller. You may also turn to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. Where processing is additionally subject to European law, you hold the corresponding rights vis-à-vis the competent supervisory authority.
Security
Transmission is encrypted. Access to editorial tools is restricted to authorised people and protected by a second layer of security. Forms are safeguarded against automated submissions; the means used for that process no data beyond what is needed to fend off abuse.
The evidence letter
Once a month: new syntheses, checked studies, and what has changed in the state of the evidence.
