2. Why we do without a cookie banner

We respect your time and an undisturbed visit to our website. We do not use tracking cookies, marketing pixels or cross-device profiling. We use technical storage mechanisms (such as local storage for your request list) only where they are strictly necessary to enable a function you have actively requested (e.g. compiling a quote request). Under Swiss law (TCA) and the GDPR, no disruptive consent banner (cookie banner) is required for this, as long as we inform you fully and transparently – as in this policy.

When you visit our website, technical connection data is recorded automatically by our hosting provider. This includes the IP address, date and time of access, the URL requested, the browser and the operating system.

We use the plugin Contact Form 7for the forms. Data is transmitted SSL-encrypted.

5. The request list (local storage without cookies)

On vGYM.ch you can add various outdoor fitness equipment to an individual request list.

  • Technology: This selection is stored exclusively in the local storage of your browser. These are explicitly not cookies, and no personal data is transmitted to us or to third parties. Only technical item numbers are stored.
  • Purpose: The function is strictly necessary so that you can ultimately submit your configured installation to us as a complete package via the form.
  • Deletion: The data remains on your device. You can clear local storage at any time in your browser settings. Only by actively submitting the contact form (see point 4) are the selected items linked to your contact details.

6. Email sending and notifications

We send confirmations of receipt of your request and internal notifications via the mail server of our hosting provider cyon GmbH (Basel, Switzerland). The data is processed in Switzerland and is not passed on to any other third parties.

  • No data leaks in the background: When you load our page, no connection to Google or YouTube is established. No data is transmitted.
  • Activation: Only when you actively click the preview image of a video or map do you give consent to load the content from the third-party provider. From that moment your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Google Ireland Limited (a transfer to the USA cannot be ruled out).
  • Legal basis: Your active consent by clicking (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

9. External links and social media references

On our website (e.g. in video descriptions or in the footer) you will find links to our presences on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn as well as to partner sites.
