The nDSG (new Federal Act on Data Protection) is Switzerland's updated data protection law, in force since September 1, 2023. It requires websites to inform users about data collection, obtain consent for profiling, and provide transparent privacy policies.

How is nDSG different from GDPR?

Key difference: nDSG penalties are personal criminal liability (up to CHF 250,000) targeting individuals, not companies. nDSG also has different consent requirements — it doesn't require opt-in for all cookies like GDPR does.

Do I really need a cookie banner in Switzerland?

Yes. The FDPIC (Swiss data protection authority) updated its guidelines in 2025, making consent banners mandatory for non-essential cookies. Marketing and analytics cookies require explicit consent.

Why not use CookieBot or OneTrust?

Those are GDPR tools retrofitted for Switzerland. They over-block cookies (hurting your conversions), store data outside Switzerland, and don't cite Swiss law correctly. PrivaGuard is built specifically for nDSG.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. Our free plan covers 1 website with up to 30 pages. No credit card required. You can also scan any website for free using our compliance checker.

Will the banner break my Google Analytics or Google Ads data?

No — it's actually the opposite. PrivaGuard automatically implements Google Consent Mode v2, Google's technology for maintaining conversion data even when users decline. Without it, every rejection means a lost conversion in your reports. With PrivaGuard, Google uses behavioral modeling to reconstruct up to 80% of missing data. Your campaigns keep optimizing, you stay compliant.

WHAT CHANGED

The new Swiss data protection law is in force. Here's what it means for your website.

The revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nDSG) requires websites to clearly inform visitors about data collection, obtain consent for profiling, and maintain a transparent privacy policy. Unlike GDPR, the nDSG holds individuals — not companies — personally responsible. PrivaGuard helps you get compliant quickly and stay compliant.
