Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the respective site or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

The B2B Media Group uses cookies and other similar digital identifiers that are stored in the browser. Pseudonymous usage data is collected in the form of cookie IDs and advertising IDs. Furthermore, so-called web beacons (invisible graphics) may be used. If IP addresses are collected, they are stored anonymously by deleting the last number block. In this way, it is not possible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing device and direct personal identification.

The digital identifiers are those of the B2B Media Group or from service providers. In addition to cookies, pixels, tags, mobile SDKs and similar technologies are used to collect data in connection with certain web browsers or devices.

We use DoubleClick Floodlight. This is a Google conversion tracking service - a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin D04 E5W5, Ireland. In particular, information is collected and stored that shows the time of your visit, your advertising interest by clicks and your user behaviour on third-party websites. In addition, user profiles are created which are used for our own market research purposes - in particular on the basis of the interests identified.

Purpose of data processing

The information obtained is used for campaign management and campaign control. The purpose is to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and limit the frequency with which you are shown a particular advertisement and to ensure that you only receive advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests.

Retention period

Maximum age of cookie storage: 2 months, 29 days

B2B Media Group and their servers are located in Germany. Some of the above-mentioned partners are based outside the European Union. If personal data is transferred to a partner outside the European Union, it is ensured that secure processing with an appropriate level of protection is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.

You can deactivate the storage of cookies and other technologies by making the appropriate settings in the Consent Management solution or via B2BMG Opt-out or Google Opt-out.

Data protection and information for usage-based online advertising

This page is intended to inform you about the data that can be collected when you click on advertisements in the internet marked with the data protection information icon of the German Data Protection Council for Online Advertising (DDOW), or when you visit websites where advertising flagged by the privacy info icon of the DDOW is displayed. You will also learn how the data is used for future display of usage-based advertising and how you can opt out usage-based advertising for your computer.

What is usage-based online advertising? What is my stored data used for?

When the privacy info icon appears on an advertisement in a web page, it means that when you click on the ad or visit the website, information about your interests and preferences is collected in a Cookie to be stored on your computer. This is to serve advertisements that are better tailored to your tastes and interests when visiting other websites. This is called "usage-based online advertising" or "Online Behavioral Advertising, OBA".

Advertisers (for example, online marketers or advertising agencies) use so-called "Ad Servers" as a "technical tool" for the display of usage-based online advertising media.

When you visit certain websites or click on certain advertising banners on pages you visit, the Ad Server places a cookie on your computer. In this cookie, certain information (data) is stored - anonymous or pseudonymized, e.g. on the content of the advertisements you clicked on, the product advertised, etc.

The Ad Server processes the collected data on behalf of the advertiser by creating a kind of "online advertising profile" in the cookie containing your potential interest preferences. This will allow to show you advertisements that are better tailored to your interests and preferences.

It is important that the Ad Server does not link any collected data to other databases that could allow to draw conclusions about you. In particular, neither your name, email address, home address nor other personal information such as date of birth or telephone number will be stored in the cookie and processed by the Ad Server.

What data does the Ad Server store in the cookie on my computer?

The Ad Server used by the advertiser mentioned below can store the following data in a cookie on your computer:

Of this data, the following items are "personal data" within the meaning of GDPR:
