Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are stored in your web browser and retrieved on subsequent visits to the same website, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your preferences or browsing session.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may use related tracking technologies, including:
This Cookie Policy applies to all of the above technologies and to their use on www.ideogen.com and the IDEOGEN Partner Platform. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
We do not use cookies for the following purposes: advertising profiling, behavioural targeting for third-party advertising, or the placement of persistent cross-site tracking cookies.
The following table lists all cookies currently placed by or on behalf of IDEOGEN on www.ideogen.com and the Partner Platform, as of the effective date of this Policy.
> Note: The exact list of cookies may change with software updates. The authoritative, live list of cookies is maintained within our Consent Management Platform (CMP) and accessible at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of www.ideogen.com. We will update this Policy to reflect material changes within 30 days of their introduction.
We classify our cookies into four categories. Whether your consent is required depends on the category:
What they are: Cookies that are essential for the website to operate and for core security functions. Without these cookies, services you have explicitly requested (such as logging into the Partner Platform or submitting a contact form) cannot be delivered.
Consent required? No. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under Recital 25 of the (2002/58/EC), and Swiss nFADP provisions. They are placed automatically when you visit the site.
Examples: Session cookie, CSRF protection token, consent preference record.
What they are: Cookies that enhance the functionality and personalisation of the website but are not strictly necessary for its operation. They remember choices you make (such as your preferred language).
Consent required? Yes. Functional cookies that are not strictly necessary for a service you have explicitly requested require your prior consent under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Under the Swiss 's guidance of February 2025, an opt-in approach is the recommended standard for functional cookies in Switzerland.
Examples: Language preference cookie (`ideogen_lang`), Partner Platform display preferences.
What they are: Cookies used to collect information about how visitors use our website, which pages are visited most, and where users come from. This information is used in aggregate to improve our website and content. Analytics cookies identify individual browsers but do not identify individual persons by name.
Consent required? Yes. Analytics cookies that involve the transmission of data to third parties (such as Google) or that track behaviour over time require your prior consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a), the ePrivacy Directive, and the FDPIC's February 2025 guidance on cookies. Analytics cookies will not be placed until you have provided valid consent via our CMP banner.
Examples: Google Analytics cookies (`ga`, `gid`, `gat`, `ga_[id]`).
What they are: Cookies used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements, or to build profiles for direct marketing purposes.
Consent required? Yes. Marketing cookies require explicit opt-in consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and the ePrivacy Directive.
Current status: As of the date of this Policy, IDEOGEN does not place marketing or advertising cookies on www.ideogen.com. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will update this Policy, update our CMP configuration, and request your consent before any such cookies are placed.
When you first visit www.ideogen.com, a Cookie Consent Banner is displayed. The banner:
Only strictly necessary cookies are placed before you interact with the consent banner.
The "Customise Settings" option allows you to accept or reject individual cookie categories (functional, analytics, marketing) independently. You are not required to accept any non-essential category in order to access the website.
Our CMP is configured to detect your geographic location:
You may update or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by:
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. However, once consent is withdrawn, the relevant cookies will not be re-set on future visits.
We maintain records of consent in accordance with GDPR Article 7(1) and nFADP requirements. Consent records include: the date and time consent was given, the version of the notice presented, the categories consented to, and (where technically required) the applicable user identifier or session reference. These records are retained for 3 years.
In addition to our CMP controls, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

For Google Analytics specifically, you may also install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) / Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Google Analytics uses cookies (listed in Section 3) to generate reports about website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers. We have enabled IP anonymisation on our Google Analytics implementation, so that your full IP address is truncated before transmission to Google's servers.
Google processes this data as a data processor under Google's Data Processing Terms and applicable Standard Contractual Clauses. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Analytics cookies are placed only with your prior consent via our CMP.
Our website does not currently embed third-party content (e.g., YouTube videos, social media widgets) that would set third-party cookies by default. If such content is introduced, this Policy will be updated, and any associated third-party cookies will be subject to your consent.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that transmits a DNT signal to websites you visit. There is currently no legally binding standard that specifies how websites must respond to DNT signals.
Our current position: we do not alter our data collection practices in response to browser DNT signals, as there is no consistent technical standard for their implementation. We instead rely on the granular consent mechanism described in Section 5, which provides you with direct control over non-essential cookies.
We will continue to monitor regulatory and industry developments in this area and update our approach if a recognised standard is established.
We review this Cookie Policy periodically and update it when:
When we make updates, we will:
The current, authoritative version of this Policy is always available at www.ideogen.com/cookies.
> This section is addressed to IDEOGEN's technical and compliance teams responsible for website implementation.
IDEOGEN must implement a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage cookie consent in compliance with GDPR Articles 6 and 7, Recital 32, the (2002/58/EC), and the Swiss 's guidance on cookies (February 2025). We recommend one of the following solutions:
All recommended solutions support:
The CMP must be configured with the following minimum requirements:
Google Analytics and any other analytics or marketing tools must be loaded exclusively via Google Tag Manager (GTM) with CMP-controlled triggers. Tags should be configured to fire only when the applicable consent category is granted. GTM's Consent Mode v2 should be implemented to correctly communicate consent signals to Google's tags.
