Cookie Policy

Every cookie BriefMaster 3000 sets, what it does, how long it lasts, and how to control it.

This policy lists the cookies and comparable local-storage technologies used on www.briefmaster3000.com and in the BriefMaster 3000 application.

Our principle

The application itself sets only what is strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to remember your interface preferences. Analytics and advertising technologies run only after you consent. Advertising tags run on our public website, and in the application only once, when a new account is created.

Strictly necessary

These cannot be switched off — without them the service cannot sign you in or keep your session secure. They do not require consent under EU or Swiss law.

How to control cookies

  • Use the cookie banner on our public pages to grant or withdraw consent at any time.
  • Every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its privacy settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent sign-in from working.
  • Enabling Do Not Track in your browser stops our analytics and advertising tags from loading, independently of the banner.
