Cookies

Explanation of terms

“Cookies” are small files that are stored on the user’s computer. Different data can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his or her visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his or her browser. In such a cookie, for example, the content of a shopping basket in an online shop or a login status can be stored. Cookies are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent” if they remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved for a visit of the online offer after several days. “Third-party cookies” are cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online offer (otherwise, if they are only its cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).

Use of cookies on these pages

Only first-party Cookies are used on these pages, and only if content, in particular comments, are left, or if the Table of Contents is hidden to store that setting.

More specifically, the following cookies can be used by this site:

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted or their processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. If the data are not deleted because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

In this case we can be prosecuted ourselves for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

On the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR the data of the users are checked for spam detection by the Antispam Bee Plugin, which works in compliance with GDPR.
