Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies petragut.com uses, why, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data in general.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work; others remember your preferences, measure how the site is used, or support marketing. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels work in the same way, and this policy covers them too.
2. Your choices
When you first visit our site from Switzerland, the EEA or the UK, a banner asks whether you accept non-essential cookies. Nothing non-essential is set until you accept. You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page, or by deleting cookies in your browser. Declining non-essential cookies does not affect your ability to browse, inquire or buy.
Our consent banner is provided by Pandectes; it stores your choice in a cookie and keeps a record of consents so that we can prove what you agreed to.
