The European GDPR/TDDDG enforces an extremely strict “territorial scope,” meaning that its legal binding power applies 100% to all visitors accessing this website from within the European Economic Area (EU/EEA, such as Germany), regardless of the language (English) in which the website is presented.

For instance, even when an American engineer affiliated with the Munich (Germany) branch or local subsidiary of a US-based medical device manufacturer accesses the “English pages” of this website (Hotta EMC Consulting) from their corporate office network environment using a PC or browser configured with US English settings (en-US) to review our EMC consulting service details or to make an inquiry, a comprehensive prior consent (opt-in) and explicit disclosure via this Cookie Policy are strictly required under European law.

Regarding the former requirement of prior consent, it has already been addressed by displaying the Cookie Banner upon accessing the site. The latter requirement of explicit disclosure of the policy constitutes the exact purpose of publishing this page.

We maintain this policy permanently in the footer area (at the very bottom of the page) of this language version to safeguard both you as a visitor and our consultancy against unjustified financial penalties or legal disadvantages resulting from improper intellectual property and legal incidents—commonly referred to as warning extortion tactics by specialized legal predators targeting accesses from within the EU area.

Visitors are not required to take any special action. By directly presenting and clarifying the exact text of the Cookie Banner displayed during your initial access below, all legal disclosure obligations mandated by the GDPR and TDDDG are completely and fully satisfied.

The following is the exact official disclosure text of the Cookie Banner appearing at the bottom right of the screen upon access.
