When you visit our website, your IP address, the start, and the end of your session are recorded for the duration of your session. This is technically necessary and therefore constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Unless otherwise stated below, we do not process this data further.
We reserve the right to amend this duty to provide information (privacy policy).
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our website, you may consent to having your name, email address, and website stored in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you do not have to enter your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we also set several cookies to store your login information and your chosen screen display options. Login cookies are stored for two days, and screen options cookies for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
The articles on this website may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with these embedded contents, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we have stored about you, including any data you have provided to us.
