The protection of your personal data during the collection, processing and use of these during your visit to our website is important to us. Your data will be protected within the framework of the statutory provisions.
The information below tells you how we handle your personal data, how and for what purpose this data is used, to whom we pass this data and how we protect your personal data.
Comments
When visitors post comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam.
An anonymized string may be created from your email address (also called a hash) and passed 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/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload photos to this website, please do not upload photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this website could download photos stored on this website and extract their location information.
Cookies
When you write a comment on our website, this can be a consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that if you want to write another comment, you do not have to enter all this data again. 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 does not contain any personally identifiable information and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set some cookies to store your login information and viewing options. Login cookies expire after two days and display options cookies expire after one year. If you select “Stay logged in” when you sign up, your login will be maintained for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are deleted.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you just edited. The cookie expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this website may contain embedded content (for example, videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into this website (for example, Facebook, YouTube, etc.).
With whom we share your data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we store your data
When you post a comment, it is saved indefinitely, including metadata. This way, we can automatically detect and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site, we additionally store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change, or delete their personal information at any time (the username cannot be changed). Administrators of the website can also view and modify this information.

In addition, you can request the deletion of all personal data that we have stored about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security needs.
