Privacy Policy

This website keeps tracking to the absolute minimum. Aggregated, anonymous visit statistics via Google Analytics in cookieless mode (details below) — and nothing else. No advertising, no cross-site profiling, no personal data stored by us.

All fonts are self-hosted. Apart from the anonymous Google Analytics snippet, no requests are made to external servers when you visit this site.

Website analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin) to understand how many people visit this site and which pages are read. Analytics runs in Consent Mode with analytics storage denied: no tracking cookies are set, no cross-site identifier is created. Only aggregated page views, referrer, country, browser and operating system are recorded. IP addresses are anonymized (last octet truncated) before processing.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — legitimate interest in minimal, anonymous traffic measurement. Data is processed by Google in the EU/US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can disable it entirely by blocking googletagmanager.com / google-analytics.com in your browser or network.

Bot protection on the contact form

The contact form (/kontakt) uses Cloudflare Turnstile to filter automated submissions. Turnstile loads a small JavaScript widget from challenges.cloudflare.com that runs an in-browser challenge. No tracking cookies are set. Cloudflare may process the IP address and anonymous browser-environment metadata for the duration of the challenge; details: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — legitimate interest in protecting against spam and abuse.

External links (GitHub, Nextcloud App Store, PayPal, Instagram) are subject to their respective privacy policies.
