Welcome to BeeAdvice. Cookies are small text files or other types of storage devices that store information on end devices and read information from those devices. For example, to save the login status in a user account, a shopping cart in an e-commerce site, or the contents or functions of an online service. Cookies can also be used for a variety of purposes, such as improving the functionality, security, and comfort of online services, as well as creating visitor traffic analytics.

Cookies are used in accordance with the applicable laws. Therefore, we collect prior permission from users except where it is not required by law. A consent is especially not required when the storage and retrieval of information, including the use of cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide the users with an expressly requested telecommunications service (including our online offering). The revocable consent is communicated clearly to the users and includes information about the specific cookie usage.

The legal basis under data protection law on which we process users' personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for permission. If the users consent, the expressed consent serves as the legal basis for data processing. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the business management of our online offer and improvement of its usability) or, if this is done in the context of the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

In the course of our processing of personal data, it is possible that the data will be transmitted to other offices, businesses, legally autonomous organizational units, or individuals, or that they will be disclosed to them. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we follow the legal requirements and, in particular, enter into appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.

In terms of storage time, the following types of cookies are distinguished: Temporary cookies are deleted as soon as a user exits an online service and closes his or her device (for example, a browser or a mobile app). Permanent cookies are saved even after the device is turned off. For example, the user's login status or preferred content can be saved and displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, user data collected with the help of cookies can be used for reach measurement. If we do not explicitly inform users about the nature and duration of cookies (for example, during the consent process), users should assume that cookies are permanent and can be stored for up to two years.

Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose not to allow some types of cookies below. Click on the different categories to change our default settings. However, blocking some types of cookies may impact your experience on the site and the services we are able to offer.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for our website's basic functionality and are always set when a user visits the site. They enable users to navigate the website and use its basic features without providing any personal information. They do not require the user's permission to be set.

Analytics cookies enable us to monitor and collect information about how visitors interact with our website. This information is collected anonymously and used to provide our users with the best possible browsing experience by identifying which areas of our website are most popular, how users navigate the site, and which pages may be causing issues. We never collect personal information and do not track individual users using cookies.

We kindly ask that you keep up to date on the content of our cookie usage. We will adjust them whenever changes to the cookies that we use necessitate it.
