2. use of own cookies


When you call up certain pages, a so-called "session cookie" is set. This is a small text file that is automatically deleted from your computer at the end of the browser session. The sole purpose of this file is to enable you to use certain applications. You can change the settings of most web browsers so that your browser does not accept new cookies or you can have received cookies deleted. How this works specifically for your browser can usually be found out via its help function.


3. server log files


As with any connection to a web server, the server of our web hosting provider Novatrend, Switzerland logs and stores data. This data includes the IP address and the operating system of your device, the data, the access time, the type of browser and the browser request including the origin of the request (referrer). This is necessary for technical reasons to provide you with our website. The web hosting provider protects this data from unauthorized access using technical and organizational measures and does not pass it on to third parties. To the extent that we process personal data in the process, we do so based on our interest in providing you with the best possible user experience and ensuring the security and stability of our systems.


4 Matomo


This website uses Matomo, an opensource web analytics service. Matomo is hosted on our server, where this platform is also running. Matomo uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.


We use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator.


You can prevent the storage of cookies or delete them again by making the appropriate setting in your browser.


5. newsletter


If you have registered for our newsletter with your e-mail address, we store and use your e-mail address for sending our newsletter with information and advertising about us until you have unsubscribed from our newsletter.


For our newsletter service, we use the "Mailchimp" newsletter service provided by Rocket Sience Group LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000 Atlanta, GA 30308.


When you enter your e-mail address to receive the newsletter, it is initially stored by MailChimp for the purpose of sending the owner an e-mail in which he/she can confirm the subscription to the newsletter mailing ("double opt-in"). After such confirmation, the email address is stored permanently at MailChimp until they have unsubscribed from receiving the newsletter or it is deleted by us. MailChimp stores the date of registration as well as the IP address under which the registration took place. There is no further use of their IP address.


We would like to point out that the data collected and used via MailChimp is stored and processed on computers in the USA. With your consent to receive our newsletter, you agree to this. In addition, we have concluded a data processing contract with MailChimp based on the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. Your e-mail address will not be passed on to third parties in any other way.


You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. An unsubscribe link is included in every email with our newsletter. You can also revoke your consent to the use of your e-mail address for the future at any time. To do so, please use the contact options below.


7. your rights


You are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority.
