This Cookie Policy explains how the German-African Business Summit (GABS) 2026 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It outlines what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

• First-party cookies: Cookies set by the website owner.
• Third-party cookies: Cookies set by parties other than the website owner, used to enable third-party features or functionality (e.g., interactive content, analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first and third-party cookies for several specific reasons:

• Essential Cookies: Required for technical reasons for our Website to operate. Without them, core functionality (like logging into the B2B portal or completing a ticket purchase) cannot be provided.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages visitors go to most often. They help us improve how our website works. These are aggregated and anonymized.
• Functional Cookies: These allow our site to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
• Targeting / Marketing Cookies: These record your visit to our website, the pages you visited, and the links you followed. We will use this information to make our website and the promotional communications we send you more relevant to your interests.

3. How Can I Regulate Cookie Usage?

When you first visit the GABS 2026 website, you are presented with a Cookie Consent widget that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your specific preferences for Performance, Functional, and Marketing cookies.

Additionally, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

4. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed.
