This policy explains how Vignette Switzerland stores and accesses information (cookies and similar technologies) on your device.
What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe (e.g. __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) | Essential | Set by our payment processor, Stripe, for fraud prevention and to process your card payment securely. Always active — checkout cannot work without it. |
| Umami | Anonymous analytics, no cookie | Counts visits and page views in aggregate, without setting any cookie or storing anything that identifies you personally. Always active; under applicable law this does not require your consent. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Non-essential analytics cookie | Records anonymised session behaviour (clicks, scrolling, heatmaps) to help us understand and improve the site. Loaded only after you click "Accept" in the cookie banner — never before. |
| Google Analytics (GA4) | Non-essential analytics cookie | Measures traffic and behaviour on the site to help us understand what's working. Loaded on every visit (required by Google Consent Mode v2), but only sets a cookie and personalises data after you click "Accept" — before that it sends only cookieless, aggregated signals. |
| Google Ads | Non-essential advertising cookie | Measures which ads led to a completed order (conversion tracking), so we know our advertising spend is working. Same Consent Mode v2 behaviour as Google Analytics above — a cookie is only set after you click "Accept". |
Your order form (vehicle, plate, contact details) is held only in your browser's memory while you complete checkout and is not saved once you close the tab or reload the page — it does not use a cookie.
Your cookie choice
The first time you visit, a banner lets you Accept or Reject the non-essential cookies (Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics, Google Ads). Your choice is remembered on this device so you won't be asked again. It has no effect on Stripe's essential cookie or on Umami's cookieless analytics, since one is required for payment and the other never sets a cookie in the first place.
To change your choice later, clear this site's browsing data in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will reappear.
Managing cookies
If you do not wish to accept cookies at all, you can disable them in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will prevent Stripe from processing your payment, so you will not be able to complete an order.
