This website is operated as a website...
(tautology)

unabhängig - on an independent basis
frei - free of affiliation ('free' otherwise means 'kostenlos')
nicht meinungsbildend - not seeking to influence customer decisions/choices/opinions

A "non-persuasive website" would not hold the attention of visitors.

agree  Armorel Young: Although it's not part of the question, the point about "freie" not meaning "kostenlos" is important and needs to be made clear.

agree  Björn Vrooman: Agree with Armorel, cf http://www.n-ram.co.uk/loans/help-with-payment-difficulties/... Though the German is a bit of a hodgepodge statement. The law doesn't really apply to the website, IMO, but the company's newsletter.

  -> Thanks. Andres should have made a firm commitment to 'impartial'. The options of 'non-opinionated' and 'neutral' offered in support don't work at all.
