This Cookie Policy explains how XO8 Media SAGL ("XO8 Media", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website (https://xo8.media). It is written to be honest and specific to this site: XO8 Media is a 100% static brochure and portfolio website, and at this time it sets no cookies of its own. This document should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can ask your browser to store on your device. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, or to collect analytics and advertising data. "Similar technologies" include things such as local storage, pixels, and tags that can serve comparable purposes.
Cookies set by this website
This website does not set any first-party cookies. It is a static set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. It has no user accounts, no login, no contact forms, no shopping cart, and no database, so there is nothing for which we would need to store a cookie on your device.
We also run no first-party analytics and no advertising or tracking technologies on this site.
Third-party services that may be contacted
Although we do not set cookies ourselves, some content on this site is loaded from a third-party provider, and visiting the site or following certain links can cause data to be processed by third parties. These are:
- Google Fonts. Our pages load web fonts from Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). Requesting these fonts means Google receives your IP address and standard request information (such as your browser user agent and the referring page). Google Fonts does not set cookies on your device through this site, but the request is still a transfer of data to a third party that we do not directly control, and it may involve a transfer of data to servers outside Switzerland and the EU. See the Privacy Policy for more detail on this processing and the safeguards relied upon.
- Email. If you click our email link to hello@xo8.media, your own email application or webmail provider opens. Any cookies used there are governed by that provider, not by us.
Videos on this site are self-hosted, so there are no YouTube, Vimeo, or other third-party video embeds that would place cookies.
Server logs
Our web server keeps standard access logs for security and operational purposes. These logs are not cookies. They record information such as your IP address, browser user agent, the date and time of the request, the page requested, and the referring page. This is described further in our Privacy Policy.
Legal basis and your rights
Because this site uses only what is strictly necessary to deliver the pages you request (and no non-essential cookies), the limited processing described above, including the loading of Google Fonts and the keeping of server access logs, is based on our legitimate interest in operating, securing, and presenting the website. We do not rely on consent because there are no non-essential cookies to consent to.
Depending on your circumstances, you may have rights under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP / nLPD) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. You can exercise these rights using the contact details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, if you are in the EU, with your local data protection supervisory authority. Further detail on legal bases, retention, and international transfers is set out in our Privacy Policy.
Why you do not see a cookie consent banner
Because this site uses no non-essential cookies, no analytics, and no advertising trackers, there is nothing that requires your prior consent, and so no cookie consent banner is shown. If this changes in the future, we will request consent for any non-essential cookies before they are used.
How to control or disable cookies
Even though this site does not set cookies, you remain in full control of cookies and similar technologies in your browser. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and adjust related settings. You can usually find these options in your browser's privacy or settings menu. Common starting points include:
- Google Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security.
- Apple Safari: Settings or Preferences, then Privacy.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that blocking cookies broadly may affect how other websites you visit function. It will not impair this site, since this site does not rely on cookies.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce cookies, analytics, or other tracking technologies in the future, or to reflect changes in law or practice. If we add any non-essential cookies, we will update this page and obtain consent where required before such cookies are used. Any updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
