1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, keep information in your browser in the same way. This policy covers both.
2. Which cookies this site uses
Necessary cookies. When you log in to the B2B portal, a session cookie keeps you logged in and is refreshed while you use the portal. It is deleted when the session expires or when you log out. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to block automated abuse, and your cookie choice itself is stored in a cookie (hbs_consent) for one year. Without these the site cannot work, so no consent is required for them.
Your language choice (English, Dutch or German) is stored in a cookie (hbs_lang) for one year, so the site opens in your language on your next visit. It is a necessary cookie and contains nothing else.
The configurators keep the parts list you build in your browser's local storage so it is still there when you return. Nothing is sent to us until you request a quote.
Analytics cookies and marketing cookies (Google Ads measurement, see 3) are only set after you agree in the cookie banner. Before your choice, and when you decline, the Google tags run with a "denied" signal (Consent Mode): they set no cookies and send Google only cookieless signals without an identifier, such as that a page was viewed or a quote request was sent. Google uses these to estimate the number of visits and conversions.
3. Analytics
With your permission we measure how the site is used: which pages, configurators and datasheets are opened and how fast pages load. The figures are aggregated; no device fingerprint is created and no personal data is stored. Analytics cookies stay off until you choose "Accept all" or switch them on under "Cookie settings"; until then only the cookieless signals described in 2 are sent.
Marketing: with your permission Google Ads measures whether an advertisement led to a quote request (conversion measurement). We do not use advertising cookies for profiling or retargeting. Google Ads cookies stay off until you choose "Accept all" or switch them on under "Cookie settings".
4. Third parties
The maps on the Company and Contact pages load map tiles from OpenStreetMap when you scroll to them; this sends your IP address to the OpenStreetMap Foundation but sets no cookie. Otherwise this site does not embed content from other companies: no video, no social media buttons. Links to WhatsApp and Google Maps open those services in a new context, where their own cookie and privacy terms apply.
Our forms may use Cloudflare Turnstile to block automated abuse. Turnstile checks whether a request comes from a person and does not track you across websites.
6. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the portal's session cookie, you will not be able to stay logged in.
