This Cookie Policy explains how Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use information. This policy applies to all visitors and users of our website.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies allow us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or previous actions on our site.
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot provide services you request.
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, whether error messages are displayed, and how long users stay on pages. These cookies do not identify you personally and are used to improve website performance and user experience.
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language preference, region, or login information) to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party service providers.
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and build profiles about visitor interests for targeted advertising purposes. These cookies are set by advertising partners and networks with our permission.
We may allow trusted third parties to place cookies on your device for analytics, advertising, and other purposes. Third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. These third parties are bound by their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Cookies can be either session-based or persistent. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. The specific duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and is outlined in our cookie management tools.

However, you can use other tools, such as browser cookie controls and opt-out mechanisms, to limit the collection and use of your data.
We retain cookie data for the minimum period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Once cookies expire or you delete them, the associated data is no longer retained on your device, though server-side logs may be maintained in accordance with our retention policies.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect cookie data and prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
