Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 30, 2025
Thank you for visiting our website. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy informs you about how we collect and process data when you use our services.
1. General Information
Our website is purely informational and for entertainment purposes. We do not offer registration, user accounts, or comment functions. Therefore, we do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers directly from you.
2. Server Log Files
When you access our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. This includes:
IP address of the requesting computer
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the retrieved file
Website from which access is made (referrer URL)
Browser type and operating system used
The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in ensuring a smooth connection and comfortable use of the website.
3. Web Analytics: Matomo (formerly Piwik)
We use Matomo, an open-source software tool for web analytics, to analyze the surfing behavior of our users.
Privacy First: We have configured Matomo so that your IP address is immediately anonymized (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx).
No Data Sharing: The data collected by Matomo remains on our own servers and is not shared with third parties.
Opt-out: Matomo uses cookies to recognize your browser. You can prevent the storage of cookies in your browser settings or opt-out via our Consent Manager.
4. Advertising: Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google").
How it works
Google AdSense uses "cookies" (text files stored on your computer) and "web beacons" (invisible graphics) to analyze website traffic. The information generated (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Legal Basis
The use of Google AdSense and the associated data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), which you provide via our cookie banner.
Personalization
Google may use this information to show you personalized ads. If you wish to disable personalized advertising, you can do so in your Google Ad Settings.
5. Cookies and Consent Management
To comply with legal requirements (GDPR/ePrivacy), we use a Consent Management Provider (Cookie Banner). This allows you to choose which services (like AdSense) you wish to allow. You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
6. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of access: To know what data we store.
Right to erasure: To request the deletion of your data.
Right to object: To object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to withdraw consent: If you gave us permission to use cookies.
Since we do not store names or addresses, we generally cannot identify individual users. To exercise your rights, please contact us via the details provided in our Imprint/Legal Notice.
7. Data Security
We use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser to ensure your data is transmitted securely.
