4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for placing cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These do not require consent as they are essential for the website's operation (GDPR Recital 30; ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3)).
- Analytics cookies: Consent - GDPR Art. 6(1)(a). We only set these cookies after you have provided your consent.
- Marketing/tracking cookies: Legitimate interest - GDPR Art. 6(1)(f). We have conducted a balancing test and determined that our interest in understanding B2B website traffic does not override visitors' rights, as the data is aggregated at company level and does not identify individuals.
