4. Advertising — Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Service. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Google AdSense advertising cookies are loaded only if you have given your consent to the "Advertising" category in our cookie banner.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Google's Privacy Policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Analytics — Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to understand how visitors use the Service. GA4 collects information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, referring sources, device type, browser, and approximate geographic location (country/city level).

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC and may be transferred to servers in the United States or other countries outside the EU/EEA, subject to Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

Analytics cookies are loaded only if you have given your consent to the "Analytics" category in our cookie banner. IP addresses are anonymised before processing. We have enabled IP anonymisation in our GA4 configuration.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by:

  • Withdrawing your consent via the 🍪 Cookies button on any page
  • Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
  • Managing your Google account's activity controls at myaccount.google.com

  • Hosting provider – Hetzner Online GmbH (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany), which processes server logs on our behalf as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement.

7. International Data Transfers

Our server is located in the European Union (Falkenstein, Germany). Where data is transferred outside the EU/EEA (e.g. via Google AdSense), such transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or other appropriate safeguards under GDPR Chapter V.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all data in transit (TLS 1.2 / 1.3)
  • Server firewall with restricted access
  • Regular security updates and patches
  • Access controls limiting who can access server data

No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your data using industry-standard practices.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Specific retention periods are indicated in the table in Section 3.2. After the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
