What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our website, use our contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that you do not have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this website, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies expire after two days, and display option cookies after one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will be maintained for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Posts on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

 

How long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, use our contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, the submitted data and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

 

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website, have written comments, used our contact form, or subscribed to our newsletter, you can request an export of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we have stored about you. This does not include data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.
