Use of Cookies

I use cookies on my website. A cookie is a small text file that is stored by a website on your computer’s hard drive. Each time you return to my website, your browser retrieves the relevant cookie(s) and sends them to the website’s server.

The use of cookies serves to make my website more pleasant for you. For example, I use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of my website. These cookies are automatically deleted when you leave the site or close your browser. Other cookies used by me are stored on your computer or device for a maximum period of 2 years from the date of their initial installation or, if they are updated later, from the date of the update. Technical cookies also include cookies that save your cookie settings.

The data processed by cookies is required for the above-mentioned purposes to safeguard my legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

In principle, you can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, I would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of my website to their full extent. I do not use third-party cookies (third-party websites), including those from social media providers; with the exception of Google Analytics.

Use of Google Analytics

I use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

I use Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymiseIp()”. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, thus excluding the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, I have subjected Google to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
