1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Logout Neuchâtel Association ("Logout Neuchâtel" , "the Association" , "we" , "us" , or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website and related digital Services.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our:
- Terms of Service;
- Privacy Policy; and
- other privacy notices applicable to specific Services.
Cookies may involve the processing of information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.
Where this occurs, such processing is also subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files or similar technologies that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.
Cookies can allow a website to:
- recognize a device;
- remember preferences;
- maintain a session;
- provide security;
- understand how a website is used; or
- support other technical functions.
Cookies may be first-party cookies, placed directly by Logout Neuchâtel, or third-party cookies, placed by external service providers whose technologies are integrated into our Website.
3. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, our Website may use technologies such as:
- local storage;
- session storage;
- pixels;
- tags;
- scripts;
- software development kits (SDKs); and
- other technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.
For simplicity, this Policy refers collectively to these technologies as "Cookies and Similar Technologies."
4. Categories of Cookies
Depending on the configuration of our Website, Cookies and Similar Technologies may fall into the following categories.
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These technologies are necessary for the Website or a requested Service to function properly.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- security;
- authentication;
- session management;
- fraud prevention;
- load balancing;
- maintaining technical functionality; and
- remembering choices necessary to provide a requested Service.
These technologies cannot generally be disabled through our consent-management interface where doing so would prevent the Website or requested Service from functioning correctly.
4.2 Preference and Functionality Cookies
These technologies may allow the Website to remember choices you make.
Examples may include:
- language preferences;
- interface preferences;
- accessibility settings;
- session preferences; and
- other functionality requested by the user.
Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, they will only be activated after the relevant consent has been provided.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our Website.
Depending on the technology implemented, information may include:
- pages visited;
- approximate geographic information;
- device type;
- browser information;
- referral source;
- session duration;
- interactions with Website elements; and
- technical performance information.
Analytics information is used to help us:
- understand Website usage;
- identify technical problems;
- improve navigation;
- improve accessibility;
- evaluate educational resources; and
- improve our Services.
Analytics technologies that require consent will not be activated before the applicable consent is obtained.
4.4 Marketing and Advertising Technologies
Logout Neuchâtel does not need to use advertising cookies merely because the Website contains promotional information about our own Services.
If we introduce third-party advertising, retargeting, profiling, or similar marketing technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and implement the consent mechanisms required by applicable law before activating technologies requiring consent.
5. Third-Party Technologies
Certain Website functions may rely on third-party providers.
These may include providers supporting:
- website hosting;
- security;
- analytics;
- video content;
- payment processing;
- appointment scheduling;
- online consultations;
- event registration;
- embedded content; or
- other technical functions.
Third-party providers may place or access their own Cookies and Similar Technologies.
Such providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements.
Where third-party technologies process Personal Data on behalf of Logout Neuchâtel, the relevant processing is also governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable contractual safeguards.
6. Social Media Technologies
Our Website may contain links or integrations with social media platforms.
Examples may include social-media buttons, embedded content, or links to our social-media profiles.
Depending on how these technologies are implemented, the relevant platform may receive information concerning your interaction with the Website.
If you interact directly with a third-party social-media platform, that platform's own terms and privacy policy apply to its processing activities.
Logout Neuchâtel does not control the independent processing carried out by third-party social-media providers.
7. Cookie Consent
Where applicable law requires consent before certain Cookies or Similar Technologies are used, we will request your consent through an appropriate consent mechanism.
You may be presented with options to:
- accept relevant categories;
- reject non-essential categories; or
- manage your preferences.
Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent where permitted by applicable law because they are necessary to provide a requested Service or operate the Website.
8. Withdrawal or Modification of Consent
Where consent is required, you may withdraw or modify your consent at any time through the cookie-preference mechanism made available on the Website.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
If the Website provides a dedicated cookie-preference control, you may use that control to review or change your choices.
You may also control certain Cookies through your browser settings.
9. Browser Controls
Most modern browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete cookies;
- block cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- receive notifications when cookies are placed; or
- configure certain privacy preferences.
The precise controls depend on the browser and device you use.
Disabling certain Cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some Website features.
10. Cookie Duration
Cookies may remain on your device for different periods.
They may be: Session Cookies — deleted when you close your browser or session.
Persistent Cookies — remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
The retention period depends on the purpose and configuration of the relevant technology.
Where appropriate, information concerning individual Cookies, their provider, purpose, and duration will be provided through our cookie-consent interface or cookie list.
11. Cookies and Personal Data
Not all Cookies identify a person directly.
However, information collected through Cookies may in certain circumstances be associated with other information and may therefore constitute Personal Data.
Where this occurs, the processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.
We apply data-minimization and purpose-limitation principles to information collected through Cookies and Similar Technologies.
12. Security Cookies
Certain Cookies or Similar Technologies may be used to protect our Website and Services.
These technologies may help us:
- authenticate users;
- prevent unauthorized access;
- detect suspicious activity;
- protect forms;
- prevent automated abuse;
- maintain session security; and
- protect our infrastructure.
Security technologies may operate without consent where they are strictly necessary for the provision and security of the requested Service and where permitted by applicable law.
13. Online Consultations
Where online consultations are provided through a third-party platform, that platform may use Cookies or Similar Technologies.
The applicable third-party provider may process technical information concerning:
- device;
- browser;
- connection;
- session;
- authentication; and
- platform usage.
Additional information concerning the processing of Personal Data in connection with consultations is provided in our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Consultation & Preventive Support Agreement.
14. Payments and Transactions
Payment or transaction services may be provided through specialized third-party payment providers.
These providers may use Cookies or Similar Technologies necessary for:
- payment authentication;
- fraud prevention;
- transaction security;
- session management; and
- payment processing.
Payment providers may independently process technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Logout Neuchâtel does not generally store complete payment-card information when payment processing is performed directly by a specialized payment provider.
15. Logout Prism and Digital Services
Logout Prism and other Logout Neuchâtel digital Services may use technical storage, Cookies, or Similar Technologies to provide functions such as:
- authentication;
- session management;
- security;
- saving progress;
- maintaining preferences;
- measuring programme performance; and
- providing requested functionality.
The technologies used by a particular digital Service may differ from those used on the main Website.
Additional information may therefore be provided within the relevant Service.
Where a digital Service involves processing beyond ordinary technical operation, the applicable Privacy Policy and additional notices will apply.
16. Children's Privacy
Certain Logout Neuchâtel activities are designed for children and adolescents.
We seek to avoid the unnecessary use of tracking or profiling technologies in Services directed toward minors.
Where a Service is specifically designed for minors, the technical configuration and data-processing practices will take account of applicable legal and safeguarding requirements.
We do not intentionally use Cookies to create unnecessary behavioral profiles of children for advertising purposes.
17. Changes to the Cookies We Use
The technologies used on our Website may change over time.
We may introduce, remove, replace, or modify Cookies and Similar Technologies in order to:
- improve functionality;
- improve security;
- comply with legal requirements;
- improve accessibility;
- measure Website performance;
- provide new Services; or
- respond to changes in our technical infrastructure.
Where a change materially affects consent requirements, we will update our consent mechanism and this Cookie Policy as appropriate.
18. Cookies and Similar Technologies Currently in Use
Logout Neuchâtel may use different Cookies and Similar Technologies depending on the features, services, and technical configuration of the Website at any given time.
The technologies used may include, where applicable:

The technologies used may change from time to time as a result of technical updates, changes to our Services, security requirements, changes in third-party providers, or changes in applicable law.
Logout Neuchâtel seeks to ensure that its cookie inventory and consent mechanisms remain consistent with the technologies actually deployed on the Website.
Where a Cookie or Similar Technology involves the processing of Personal Data, the processing is also governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.
19. International Transfers

Where such processing involves Personal Data, the requirements described in our Privacy Policy concerning international data transfers apply.
