This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and transmit certain information. Of course, the website can also be used without accepting cookies. You can configure your browser settings as you wish and, for example, refuse third-party cookies or all cookies, or delete cookies that have already been stored.

What about third-party content?
Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and record your interaction with the embedded content, including your interaction with it if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Links to other websites
The provider of this website is not liable for content of other providers that can be reached via hyperlinks. The linked external websites are exclusively third-party content for which we accept no liability and which we do not adopt as our own. Although this content was checked for illegal or immoral content before linking, it cannot be ruled out that providers change it afterwards. We are not obliged to check the linked websites constantly for changes. If you nevertheless notice any legal violations or other inappropriate content on linked websites, please let us know. We also expressly distance ourselves from illegal and immoral online content.
Who we share your data with
Matomo analytics
This website uses Matomo, open-source software for the statistical analysis of user access. Matomo uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on our servers in Germany. The IP address is anonymised immediately after processing and before it is stored. The software is set up so that IP addresses are not stored in full; 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, the shortened IP address can no longer be attributed to the accessing computer.
You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.
Your rights regarding your data
We are happy to provide information about the personal data we hold about you, its origin, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom it is disclosed, and the purpose of storage. You can exercise this right at any time, as well as, where applicable, the right to rectification, restriction and erasure of your data in accordance with Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation. To do so, please send a request by email to the address given in the legal notice and use the subject line “Datenschutz” (data protection).
Changes
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to adapt it to changes in the law or to changes in the service and data processing. However, this only applies to statements on data processing. Where users’ consent is required or parts of the privacy policy contain provisions of the contractual relationship with users, changes will only be made with users’ consent. Users are asked to inform themselves regularly about the content of this privacy policy.
