An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our website, this may be consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that you do not have to re-enter all this information 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 if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

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

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

Legal basis for data processing

We process your data on various legal bases:

• Performance of a contract if you create an account or write comments
• Legitimate interest, e.g. to optimize our website and improve security

Who we share your data with

Data transfer to third countries

If personal data is transferred to third countries outside the EU, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection exists (e.g. standard contractual clauses). If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us.

How long we store your data
