When using our website, personal data are collected from you. These personal data may be information necessary for use of our website or application of your settings – such as preferred language – or they may be information you provide via the contact option available on our website.

We use your personal data to answer your questions, process your order or provide you with access to special updates or offers.

If you decide you would not like to make your personal data available to us, naturally we will respect this choice.

A detailed section provides information on Google Analytics, which is used on this website in order to continuously improve it.

The section on Google Analytics also contains information on how to decline data collection via Google Analytics. At the end of this data protection policy, you will find the contact details for our data protection officers.

What are "cookies"? 
Cookies are files stored by a website on your computer while you are loading the site. These files store information to make your use of this site more efficient. 

What do we use cookies for? 
Our content management system makes some use of cookies in order to ensure flawless provision of all information relevant to you. We use cookies when you send us information via one of the forms. The CAPTCHA function, which prompts you to enter characters from an image in order to protect the website from bots, uses cookies. Aside from this, cookies are only stored if you register for our website, i.e. when logging in, which requires a request for access permissions to 2B Advice GmbH. The cookies used by our content management system here store the user name and the websites you have visited. This information will not be used by us at any time or for any purpose: it serves only for system optimization. For instance, cookies enable us to adjust a website to your interests. If you do not want us to recognize your computer again, adjust your browser settings so cookies are deleted from your computer's hard drive or so you are notified before a cookie is saved. 

How is personal information protected? 
We have protective measures in place to verify that our internal procedures meet our most stringent data protection standards. In addition to this, we will do everything in our power to ensure that third parties collaborating with us as our contractors, in the preparation of this site and its content for you and in the processing of your orders and requests, declare their commitment to protecting any of your personal information they require in order to provide this service for our site and our visitors. 

What can I expect from links to other websites? 
We may provide links to other sites outside of 2B Advice GmbH websites. In this, we try to only link to sites with the same values as ours. You should always check the data protection principles for the hyperlinked site in order to familiarize yourself with their information collection practices, such as on the use of cookies. We are not responsible for the content or the principles of information queries on other companies' websites. When visiting other sites, you should read through their data protection policy and other guidelines.

The IP addresses provided from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged in with other Google data. You can prevent storage of cookies by changing the appropriate setting in your browser. However, you should be aware that doing so will disable some of the website's functionality.  In addition to this, you can also block transfer of the information stored by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this information by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link:  http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
