  • Cookies
    • What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s device. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual web browser of the person concerned from other browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognised and identified based on the unique cookie ID.

The use of cookies enables Bondi Consult to provide you with a user-friendly service that would not be possible without the placement of cookies.
Using a cookie, it is possible to optimise information and offers on the website for the user’s convenience.

Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given.

In the event of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address in a block list solely for this purpose.
