This includes information such as your real name, address, telephone number and date of birth. Information which cannot be linked to your real identity – such as favorite websites or number of users of a site – is not considered personal data.

DHL Consulting GmbH is committed to preserving the privacy of users of our websites. When you visit our web pages, our web servers always temporarily save for connection and set up and security purposes the connection data of the computer connecting to our site, a list of the web pages that you visit within our site, the date and duration of your visit, the IP address of your device, the identification data of the type of browser and operation system used as well as the website through which you linked to our site.

Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address is not collected unless you provide this data voluntarily, e.g. while completing an online contact form, as part of a registration, survey, competition, fulfillment of contract or an information request.

The legal basis for the processing of the aforementioned data categories is Art. 6 (1) (a) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Due to the said purposes, in particular to guarantee security and a smooth connection setup, we have a legitimate interest to process this data.

The data will be stored for a period of 25 months and then automatically deleted. Furthermore, we are using cookies, tracking-tools and targeting measures. You will find more details hereto below under the section Use of Cookies.

Processing for Advertising Purposes

If you subscribe to receive a tailored logistics decarbonization journey, we process your mail address and the data you provided us via the form to provide you with promotional material. The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future using the contact address: decarbonization-compass@dhl-consulting.com

We use tracking software to determine how many users visit our website and how often. We do not use this software to collect individual personal data or individual IP addresses. The data are used solely in anonymous and summarized form for statistical purposes and for developing the website.

“Cookies” are small files that enable us to store information related to your device and you, the user, specifically, while you visit one of our websites. Cookies help us to determine how frequently our internet pages are accessed as well as the number of users. And they help us configure our offers so that they are as convenient and efficient as possible for you.

On the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, we are using “session cookies” in order to optimize our website and to guarantee and convenient and undisturbed user experience. These cookies are stored exclusively for the duration of your visit to our internet pages. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

In addition, we use “persistent cookies” for retaining information about visitors who repeatedly access one of our internet pages. The purpose of using cookies is to be able to offer you optimal user guidance as well as to “recognize” you and thus be able to present (as much as possible) diversified internet pages and new contents during repeated use.

Generally, we do not create an individual profile of your online activities. The content of a persistent cookie is limited to an identification number. Name, email address, IP address, etc., are not saved on the majority of our sites.

Please note that on some pages of our websites you may notice that cookies have been set that are not related to DHL Consulting GmbH. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Vimeo, these service providers may set their own cookies on your web browser.

DHL Consulting GmbH does not control the use of these cookies and cannot access them due to the way that cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. You should check the third party websites for more information about these cookies.

Web Beacons

In order to keep DHL Consulting GmbH’s online content relevant, easy to use and up-to-date, we use web analytics services such as Google Analytics (see Google Analytics entry in DHL Consulting GmbH Table of Cookies above for more information) to help us understand how people use our websites. These services use data collection technologies such as web beacons.

Web beacons are small electronic images that deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and website effectiveness. In turn, this lets us know what content is of interest to our visitors and helps us provide tailored information on our websites.

These web beacons are anonymous and do not contain or collect any information that identifies you. The information is anonymous and only used for statistical purposes. These web analytics data and cookies cannot be used to identify you as a natural person as they never contain personal information such as your name or email address.

We have provided details of all cookie categories used on this website below.
