2. General Information on Data Processing

Protecting your personal data is important to us. We only process personal data to the extent necessary for operating this website, providing our content, or delivering our services.

This means:

  • Some data is processed because it is strictly necessary to provide or secure the website (this is called a “legitimate interest” under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • Other data is only processed if you have explicitly given your consent – for example, when using cookies or Google Analytics (based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Please also see our Cookie Policy.

3. Collection and Storage of Personal Data when Visiting the Website

When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits information to our server. These data are temporarily stored in log files and may include:

  • your IP address
  • date and time of access
  • name and URL of the retrieved file
  • the website you came from (referrer URL), if applicable
  • browser and operating system used

We use these data solely to ensure the stability, security, and proper functioning of our website and to optimize our services.

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device.

  • Technically necessary cookies: These are required for the website to function properly.
  • Analytics / tracking cookies: These are only used with your consent (see Google Analytics below).

The legal basis for cookies is either your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or – for technically required cookies – our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics by Google Ireland Limited to better understand how visitors use our website. Cookies may be set in this context.

The information generated is usually transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. Your IP address is anonymized within the EU/EEA before transfer.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner.

Further information can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
