Zürisee Investment Partners AG uses so-called tracking technologies such as cookies and tags to collect information such as the above (see: “What information do we collect about you and for what purpose?”) in order to better understand how visitors use the Uvote website. These technologies help us administer the Uvote Website and improve its user experience. For example, we can tell if your computer has connected to us before and see which areas of the Uvote website are most frequently used.

In many cases, you can also control tracking technologies using your browser. Please set up your browser to warn you about and/or accept tracking technologies (such as cookies) if you wish. You can usually find the appropriate options for your browser and instructions on how to use them in your browser’s manual or help file.
