Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific device-related information on users’ access devices (PCs, smartphones, etc.). They serve for the user-friendliness of web pages and thus the users (for example storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect the statistical data of the website use and to be able to analyze them for the purpose of improving the offer.

Web-Analyses

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service PHP Web Stat (PHP-Web-Stat, D-46562 Voerde, Sternbuschweg 2). In order to record and analyze statistically the hits on the website, a small JavaScript has been built into the website to be recorded. If someone is visiting the website, the Javascript is executed now, which calls the PHP script in turn. This stores all determined data in a log file. If the statistic is called, all accesses of the individual modules are read from the log file (optionally also from the database).

Your IP address is captured but immediately pseudonymized by deleting the last 8 bits. As a result, only a rough localization is possible.

Integration of services and contents of third parties

Within this online offer third-party content can be integrated, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (called from now on “third party provider”) perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of each user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we do not have any influence on this if the third parties provide the IP address e.g. save of statistical purposes. As far as we know, we will inform users about it.

Anti-Spam Bee

Some parts of this web page use the service “Anti-Spam Bee”, a WordPress plugin provided by Sergej Müller Plugin collective. With the help of this service, comments of real people are distinguished from spam comments. This plugin stores according to iit’s own declaration no data.

You are welcome to use pseudonyms or refrain from entering your name or email address. You can completely prevent the transfer of data by not using our commenting system. That would be a pity, but unfortunately we do not see any other alternatives that work just as effectively.

Pictures for comments with the Avatar Pugin

On parts of this web page, avatars are allowed for the display of user images in the comments. These can not be provided via an external avatar service, such as Gravatar. Avatars, if desired, must be uploaded by the user and connected to his profile. This prevents data traffic to such avatar services here.

California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA is operated (“Facebook”). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user accesses a web page of this offer that contains such a plugin or embed, its browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and incorporated by him into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs users according to his level of knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users can be found in the Facebook privacy policy: www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this offer and associate it with his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. Other settings and inconsistencies regarding the use of data for promotional purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
