CookiesWhat cookies are?
On this website we use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored in the memory of your device via your browser. Cookies store certain information (e.g., your preferred language or page settings) which can be sent back to us by your browser when you visit a website again (depending on the lifetime of the cookie).
Which cookies do we use?
We distinguish between two categories of cookies:
Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
Optional cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies the following distinctions are made:
●
Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user ID`s stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalisation options you have selected when browsing.
●
Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
●
Advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very irritating.
Germany`s Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (“TTDSG”) and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), require us to ask for your consent when using specific cookies (in particular any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, for example, Functional cookies, Analysis and performance cookies and Advertising cookies or targeting cookies “Optional cookies”).
Further and as the BDSG and the GDPR also require a legal basis for the use of personal data in relation to cookies, the use of cookies would then be your consent as well as our legitimate interest.
However, as we think it is important that you should have full control over your privacy online, we refrained from placing optional cookies on my website and as such we are not required to obtain any consents. Nonetheless, this may change, and we ask you to regularly check this policy for any updates.

● providing you with consulting and support services, our solutions, and conducting transactions you request,
