Information We Share
We share your personal information with your consent or as necessary to provide the Services. In addition, we share personal information with vendors or agents to provide the Services.

In such cases, these companies must abide by our Privacy Policy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal information they receive from us for any other purpose. We commission an external service provider with tasks in the area of payment services as data processor for the purposes described herein. The service provider has been carefully selected by us and is regularly monitored, in particular with regard to the careful handling and protection of personal data accessible to them. We oblige all service providers to maintain confidentiality and to comply with legal requirements.

When you visit NootropicsExpert.com, Nootropics Expert’s servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not identify you. They merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Nootropics Expert, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a Web form, you remain anonymous to Nootropics Expert.
We use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session.

NootropicsExpert.com uses persistent cookies that only we can read and use to identify users who have visited our website previously.

You also can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on, however, because they allow you to take advantage of some of Nootropics Expert’s essential features. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you won’t be able to access or use your account at NootropicsExpert.com or to enter comments and questions on our community forums.
