7. Cookies

scopeQuery uses cookies. Cookies are small, harmless text files that are stored on the user's terminal. We use these to make the utilisation of scopeQuery as efficient and user-friendly as possible. The Staatsarchiv Obwalden uses three so-called Session-Cookies, which terminate "at end of session" (i.e. when leaving the browser), and at the latest after deleting the browser history or after a system restart. Cookie activity depends on the user's individual browser settings, which can enable, restrict or disable cookies. It is possible that if the user restricts or disables cookies, certain browser functions may not be available or can only be used to a limited extent.

8. Contact Form

Our website offers you the possibility to contact us via an online contact form. The data you voluntarily provide (i.e. company, e-mail address, name, telephone number) are stored in order to respond to your enquiry. The data processed for contact purposes is carried out according to Art. 6 para. 1(a) GDPR based on your consent voluntarily provided. Your data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed and if there are no legal retention requirements.

Your voluntary consent can be revoked at any time by sending an e-mail to [info@your-organization.org].

Attention: If you delete your cookies, this will result in the opt-out cookie also being deleted, which means that it must be re-activated.
