Google Tag Manager

The website uses Google Tag Manager. This service enables the administration of website tags via an interface. Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are set and no personal data are collected. Google Tool Manager activates other tags, which in turn may collect data as needed. However, Google Tool Manager does not gain access to these data. Any deactivation on the domain or cookie level remains in effect for all tracking tags if they are implemented in Google Tag Manager.

As the Website operator, Benefit Systems has implemented solutions required by the Directive on privacy and electronic communications (Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council), which covers the use of cookies, because it uses best practices to treat its customers fairly and openly.
