The banner should provide options to:

• Accept all optional cookies;
• Reject all optional cookies;
• Make individual category choices;
• Access this Cookie Policy.

Rejecting optional cookies should be as straightforward as accepting them.

Non-essential cookies should not be activated before you provide the relevant consent.

11. Managing or Withdrawing Consent

You can review or change your cookie choices at any time by selecting:

Cookie Settings (or by contacting us at info@pharmakonsult.com)

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Most browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies;

Browser settings differ. Consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions.

Blocking all cookies may affect website operation and may prevent certain features from functioning.

13. Global Privacy Controls and Do-Not-Track Signals

Some browsers or extensions transmit privacy preference signals.

Where technically and legally applicable, we may take recognised browser-level privacy signals into account.

However, not all websites, browsers and service providers interpret these signals in the same way.

The cookie-preference tool available on our website is the primary method for recording your choices.

Where required, transfers will be subject to an appropriate legal mechanism, such as:

• An adequacy decision;
• Standard Contractual Clauses;
• Additional safeguards;
• Another mechanism permitted by applicable law.

Further information may be available in the relevant provider’s privacy documentation and in our Privacy Policy.
