Privacy policy
I am pleased about your interest in my website. In principle, it can be used without providing any personal data. However, it may be necessary to process personal data, e.g. when using the comment function. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, I will generally obtain your consent.
Personal data, such as your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, is always processed in accordance with the basic data protection regulation and in compliance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this data protection declaration I would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data that I collect, use and process.
To this end, I have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
Name and address of the controller
is the responsible person in terms of the basic data protection regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other regulations of a data protection nature:

Collection of general data and information
When you visit my website as you are now, my web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as
- the address (URL) of the web page accessed
- Browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
- the host name and IP address of the machine being accessed
- Date and time
in files (web server log files).
Usually web server log files are saved for a fortnight and then automatically deleted. I do not pass on this data, but I cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of illegal behaviour.
Cookies
Cookies are text files which are filed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Numerous internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identification of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign Internet pages and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the Internet pages and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, I can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services, which would not be possible without the setting of cookies. Examples of this would be the use of Google Maps or YouTube.
By means of a cookie the information and offers on my website can be optimised in the interest of the user. Cookies make it possible to recognise the users of my website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use the website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to give his consent to the use of cookies (essential and external) every time he visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system.
How and whether you use cookies is up to you. Regardless of the service or website from which the cookies originate, you always have the option of deleting cookies, allowing them only partially or deactivating them. For example, you can block third-party cookies, but allow all other cookies. Under privacy settings you can view the cookies you use and adjust them if necessary.
In addition, I refer you to the setting options of the common browsers, where you can view, manage and also delete cookies.
Storage of personal data
Personal information that you submit to me electronically on this website, such as your name, e-mail address, postal address or other personal details when submitting a form or comments on the blog, together with the time and IP address, will only be used by me for the purpose stated in each case, will be stored securely and will not be passed on to third parties.
I will therefore only use your personal data for communication with you. I will not pass on your personal data without your consent; however, I cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of illegal behaviour.
According to Article 6 paragraph 1 a DSGVO (lawfulness of processing), the legal basis is that you give us your consent to process the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time – an informal e-mail is sufficient. You can find my contact details in the imprint.
Rights under the basic data protection regulation
In accordance with the provisions of the DSGVO, you are entitled to the following rights:
- Right of rectification (Article 16 DSGVO)
- Right of cancellation (“right to be forgotten”) (Article 17 DSGVO)
- Right to restrict processing (Article 18 DSGVO)
- Right of notification – obligation to notify in connection with the correction or deletion of personal data or the restriction of processing (Article 19 DPA)
- Right to data transferability (Article 20 DSGVO)
- Right of objection (Article 21 DSGVO)
- the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling (Article 22 DSGVO)
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 contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
Evaluation of visitor behaviour
In the following data protection declaration, I inform you whether and how I evaluate data from your visit to this website. The evaluation of the collected data is usually anonymous and I cannot draw any conclusions about your person from your behaviour on this website.
You can find out more about how to object to this evaluation of visit data in the following data protection declaration.
TLS encryption with https
I use https to transfer data tap-proof on the Internet (data protection through technology design Article 25 paragraph 1 DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, I can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this standard by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of the internet address.
Google Maps
Google Maps Privacy Policy
I use Google Maps from Google Inc. on my website. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. By using Google Maps, data is transferred to Google and stored on the Google servers. I will now explain in more detail what Google Maps is, why I use this Google service and what data is stored if the cookie is accepted.
What is Google Maps?
Google Maps is an Internet map service provided by Google. With Google Maps you can search online for exact locations of cities, sights, accommodation or businesses using a PC, tablet or app. Google Maps shows the surface of the earth as a road map or as an aerial or satellite image. Thanks to the Street View images and the high-quality satellite images, very accurate representations are possible.
Why do I use Google Maps on my website?
Through the integration of Google Maps I can provide you with additional information about the locations of the parks on my website.
Which data is stored by Google Maps?
In order for Google Maps to offer its service in its entirety, the company must collect and store data about you. This includes the search terms entered, your IP address and also the latitude and longitude coordinates. However, this data storage happens on the websites of Google Maps. I can only inform you about this, but I cannot influence it. Since I have integrated Google Maps into my website, Google sets at least one cookie (name: NID) in your browser. This cookie stores data about your user behaviour. Google uses this data primarily to optimise its own services and to provide individual, personalised advertising for you.
The following cookie is set in your browser due to the integration of Google Maps:
Name: NID
Wert: 188=h26c1Ktha7fCQTx8rXgLyATyITJ311239832-5
Purpose: NID is used by Google to match ads to your Google search. Google uses the cookie to “remember” your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with ads. This way you will always receive customised ads. The cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to collect your personal preferences for advertising purposes.
Expiry date: after 6 months
Note: I cannot guarantee the completeness of the data stored. Especially when using cookies, changes can never be ruled out. In order to identify the cookie NID, a separate test page was created, where only Google Maps was integrated.
How long and where is the data stored?
The Google servers are located in data centres all over the world. However, most servers are located in America. For this reason, your data is increasingly stored in the USA. Here you can find out exactly where the Google data centres are located: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de
Google distributes the data on various data carriers. This means that the data can be accessed more quickly and is better protected against any attempts at manipulation. Each data centre also has special emergency programs. If, for example, there are problems with the Google hardware or a natural disaster paralyses the servers, the data will still be protected.
Google stores some data for a specified period of time. For other data, Google only offers the option to delete them manually. Furthermore, the company also anonymises information (such as advertising data) in server logs by deleting part of the IP address and cookie information after 9 and 18 months respectively.
YouTube
YouTube Privacy Policy
I have included YouTube videos on my website. So I can present you interesting videos directly on my site. YouTube is a video portal, which is a subsidiary of Google since 2006. The video portal is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page on my website that has an embedded YouTube video, your browser automatically connects to the servers of YouTube or Google. In the process, various data is transferred (depending on the settings). Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all data processing in the European area.
In the following, I would like to explain to you in more detail which data is processed and why I have included YouTube videos.
What is YouTube?
On YouTube, users can view, rate, comment on and upload videos for free. Over the last few years, YouTube has become one of the most important social media channels worldwide. To enable me to display videos on my website, YouTube provides a code snippet that I have integrated into my site.
Why do I use YouTube videos on my website?
YouTube is the video platform with the most visitors and the best content. I am committed to providing you with the best possible user experience on my website. And of course interesting videos should not be missing. With the help of the embedded videos I provide you with further helpful content besides my texts and pictures.
What data is stored by YouTube?
When you visit one of my sites that has a YouTube video embedded, YouTube at least sets a cookie that stores your IP address and my URL. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your interactions on my site with your profile, usually using cookies. This includes data such as session duration, bounce rate, approximate location, technical information such as browser type, screen resolution or your internet provider. Other data may include contact details, any ratings, sharing content via social media or adding to your favourites on YouTube.
If you’re not signed in to a Google Account or a YouTube account, Google stores information with a unique identifier associated with your device, browser or app. For example, your preferred language setting is preserved. But much interaction data cannot be stored because fewer cookies are set.
In the following list I show cookies that were set in a test in the browser. On the one hand I show cookies that are set without a registered YouTube account. On the other hand I show cookies that are set with a registered account. The list cannot claim to be complete, because the user data always depends on the interactions on YouTube.

How long and where is the data stored?
The data that YouTube receives from you and processes are stored on Google’s servers. Most of these servers are located in America. At https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de you can see exactly where the Google data centres are located. Your data is distributed on the servers. So the data can be retrieved faster and is better protected against manipulation.
Google stores the collected data for varying lengths of time. Some data can be deleted at any time, others are automatically deleted after a limited time and some are stored by Google for a longer period of time. Some data (such as My Activity items, photos or documents, products) stored in your Google Account will remain stored until you delete them. Even if you’re not signed in to a Google Account, you can delete some data associated with your device, browser, or app.
Google Site Kit
Google Site Kit Privacy Policy
I have integrated the WordPress plugin Google Site Kit from the American company Google Inc. into my website. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google Site Kit, I can quickly and easily view statistics from various Google products such as Google Analytics directly in myWordPress dashboard. The tool or the tools integrated into Google Site Kit also collect personal data from you. In this privacy policy I explain why I use Google Site Kit, how long and where data is stored and which other privacy texts are relevant to you in this context.
What is Google Site Kit?
Google Site Kit is a plugin for the content management system WordPress. With this plugin I can view important website analysis statistics directly in my dashboard. These are statistics that are collected by other Google products. First of all by Google Analytics. Besides Google Analytics, the services Google Search Console, Page Speed Insight, Google AdSense, Google Optimize and Google Tag Manager can also be linked to Google Site Kit.
Why do I use Google Site Kit on my website?
Statistical evaluations help me to get to know you better and to adapt my offer to your wishes and interests. For these evaluations I use different Google tools. Site Kit makes my work much easier in this respect because I can view and analyse the statistics of Google products right in the dashboard. So I don’t have to register for each tool separately.
What information does Google Site Kit store?
If you have actively agreed to tracking tools in the cookie notice (also called script or banner), Google products such as Google Analytics will set cookies and send data about you, for example about your user behaviour, to Google where it will be stored and processed. This includes personal data such as your IP address.
For more detailed information on the individual services, I have included separate sections of text in this privacy policy. Have a look at my privacy policy for Google Analytics, for example. Here I go into the collected data in great detail. Here you can find out how long Google Analytics stores, manages and processes data and which cookies can be used. I also have my own privacy policy for other Google services such as Google AdSense with comprehensive information.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics Privacy Policy
I use on my website the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) of the American company Google Inc. For the European area the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on my website. For example, when you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. With the help of the reports I receive from Google Analytics, I can adapt my website and better adapt it to your wishes. In the following I will go into more detail about the tracking tool and inform you in particular about what data is stored.
What is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics is a tracking tool that is used for traffic analysis of my website. To make Google Analytics work, a tracking code is built into the code of my website. When you visit my website, this code records various actions that you perform on my website. As soon as you leave my website, this data is sent to the Google Analytics servers and stored there.
Google processes the data and I get reports about your user behaviour. These reports can include the following:
- Target group reports: Through target group reports I get to know my users better.
- Advertisement reports: Advertisement reports make it easier for me to analyse and improve my online advertising.
- Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports give me helpful information about how I can get more people interested in my site.
- Behavioural Reports: Here I will learn how you interact with my website. I can then track which way you go on my site and which links you click on.
- Conversion reports: Conversion is the name of a process in which you carry out a desired action based on a marketing message. For example, when you change from a mere website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. With the help of these reports, I can learn more about how my marketing activities are received by you. This is how I want to increase my conversion rate.
- Real-time reports: Here I always know immediately what is happening on my website. For example, I can see how many users are currently reading this text.
Why do I use Google Analytics on my website?
The statistically evaluated data give me a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of my website. On the one hand, I can optimise my site so that it can be found more easily by interested people on Google. On the other hand, the data helps me to better understand you as a visitor. So I know exactly what I have to improve on my website to offer you the best possible service. The data also helps me to carry out my advertising and marketing measures more individually and more cost-effectively. After all, it only makes sense to show my website to people who are interested in it.
Which data is stored by Google Analytics?
Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie. This way Google Analytics recognises you as a new user. The next time you visit my site, you will be recognised as a “returning” user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This makes it possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.
Labels such as cookies and app instance IDs measure your interactions on my site. Interactions are all kinds of actions you perform on my website. If you also use other Google systems (such as a Google account), data generated by Google Analytics can be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not pass on any Google Analytics data unless I, as the website operator, authorise this. Exceptions may be made if required by law.
The following cookies are used by Google Analytics:
Name: _ga
Wert: 2.1326744211.152311239813-5
Purpose: By default, analytics.js uses the cookie _ga to store the user ID. Basically, it serves to differentiate between website visitors.
Expiry date: after 2 years
Name: _gid
Wert: 2.1687193234.152311239813-1
Purpose: The cookie is also used to differentiate between website visitors.
Expiry date: after 24 hours
Name: _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id>
value: 1
Purpose: Used to lower the request rate. If Google Analytics is provided via the Google Tag Manager, this cookie is named _dc_gtm_ <property-id>.
Expiry date: after 1 minute
Name: AMP_TOKEN
Value: not specified
Purpose: The cookie has a token with which a User ID can be retrieved from the AMP Client ID Service. Other possible values indicate a logout, a request or an error.
Expiry date: after 30 seconds up to one year
Name: __utma
Wert: 1564498958.1564498958.1564498958.1
Purpose: With this cookie you can track your behaviour on the website and measure performance. The cookie is updated each time information is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiry date: after 2 years
Name: __utmt
value: 1
Purpose: The cookie is used like _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id> to throttle the request rate.
Expiry date: after 10 minutes

Purpose: This cookie is used to determine new sessions. It is updated every time new data or information is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiry date: after 30 minutes
Name: __utmc
value: 167421564
Purpose: This cookie is used to establish new sessions for returning visitors. This is a session cookie and is only stored until you close the browser.
Expiry date: After closing the browser
Name: __utmz
Value: m|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/
Purpose: The cookie is used to identify the source of traffic to my website. This means that the cookie stores where you came to my website from. This could have been another site or an advertising campaign.
Expiry date: after 6 months
Name: __utmv
Value: not specified
Purpose: The cookie is used to store user-defined user data. It is always updated when information is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiry date: after 2 years
Note: This list cannot claim to be exhaustive, as Google constantly changes its choice of cookies.
Here we show you an overview of the most important data collected with Google Analytics:
heat maps: Google creates so-called heat maps. With Heatmaps you can see exactly those areas you click on. This way I get information where you are “on the road” on my site.
Session duration: Google defines session duration as the time you spend on my site without leaving the site. If you have been inactive for 20 minutes, the session will end automatically.
Bouncerate: We talk about a bouncer if you have only looked at one page on my website and then left my website again.
Account creation: When you create an account or place an order on my website, Google Analytics collects this information.
IP address: The IP address is only shown in abbreviated form so that no clear assignment is possible.
location: The IP address can be used to determine the country and your approximate location. This process is also known as IP-location determination.
Technical information: Technical information includes your browser type, internet service provider or screen resolution.
Source of origin: Google Analytics or us, of course you are also interested in which website or which advertisement brought you to my site.
Other data includes contact details, any ratings, playing media (e.g. when you play a video on my site), sharing content via social media or adding to your favourites. The list does not claim to be exhaustive and is only intended as a general orientation for data storage by Google Analytics.
How long and where is the data stored?
Google has distributed your servers around the world. Most of the servers are located in America and therefore your data is mostly stored on American servers. Here you can read exactly where the Google data centres are located: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de
Your data is distributed on different physical media. This has the advantage that the data can be retrieved more quickly and is better protected against manipulation. In every Google data centre there are appropriate emergency programs for your data. If, for example, Google’s hardware fails or natural disasters paralyse servers, the risk of a service interruption at Google remains low.
Google Analytics has a standard retention period of 26 months for your user data. Then your user data will be deleted. However, I have the possibility to choose the retention period of user data myself. We have five options available for this:
- Deletion after 14 months
- Deletion after 26 months
- Deletion after 38 months
- Deletion after 50 months
- No automatic deletion
When the specified period has expired, the data is deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data linked to cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs (e.g. cookies from the DoubleClick domain). Reporting results are based on aggregated data and are stored independently of user data. Aggregated data is a fusion of individual data into a larger unit.
Google Adsense
Google AdSense Privacy Policy
I use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising program of the company Google Inc. In Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google AdSense I can display ads on this website that match my topics. In this way I can offer you ads that ideally represent a real added value for you. In the course of this privacy policy about Google AdSense I explain to you why I use Google AdSense on my website and which data is processed and stored by you.
What is Google AdSense?
The advertising programme Google AdSense has been around since 2003 and, unlike Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords), you cannot place your own advertising here. Google AdSense is used to display advertisements on websites such as mine. The biggest advantage of this advertising service compared to some others is that Google AdSense only shows you ads that match my content. Google has its own algorithm that calculates which ads you will see. Of course I only want to offer you ads that interest you and give you added value. Google checks which ads are suitable for my website and for my users based on your interests or your user behaviour and based on my offer. At this point I would like to mention that I am not responsible for the selection of the advertisements. With my website I only offer the advertising space. The selection of the displayed ads is made by Google. Since August 2013 the ads are also adapted to the respective user interface. This means that no matter whether you visit my website from your smartphone, PC or laptop, the ads will adapt to your device.
Why do I use Google AdSense on my website?
Running a high-quality website requires a lot of dedication and commitment. Basically, I am never finished working on my website. Not only do I try to maintain my site in the best possible way, I also try to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Of course I also want to achieve economic success with this work or at least cover the fixed costs, but even that is hard enough. That’s why I have decided to use advertisements as a source of income. However, the most important thing for me is not to disturb your visit to my website with these ads. With the help of Google AdSense you will only be offered ads that fit my topics and your interests. Hopefully both are the same anyway.
Similar to the Google indexing for a website, a bot examines the corresponding content and offers of my website. Then the advertisements are adapted in terms of content and presented on the website. In addition to the content overlap between ad and website offer, AdSense also supports interest-based targeting. This means that Google will also use your data to offer advertising tailored to your interests. This way you receive advertising that ideally offers you real added value and I have a higher chance to earn a little bit more.
Which data is stored by Google AdSense?
So that Google AdSense can display a tailor-made advertisement adapted to you, cookies are used among other things. Cookies are small text files that store certain information on your computer.
In AdSense, cookies are intended to enable better advertising. The cookies do not contain any personally identifiable data. However, please note that Google considers data such as “pseudonymous cookie IDs” (name or other identification feature is replaced by a pseudonym) or IP addresses as non-personally identifiable information. Under the DSGVO, however, these data may be considered personal data. Google AdSense sends a cookie to the browser after each impression (this is always the case when you see an advertisement), each click and every other activity that leads to a call to the Google AdSense servers. If the browser accepts the cookie, it will be stored there.
AdSense may allow third parties to place and read cookies in your browser or use web beacons to store information obtained from ad serving on the website. Web beacons are small graphics that do log file analysis and record the log file. This analysis enables a statistical evaluation for online marketing.
Google can collect certain information about your user behaviour on my website via these cookies. This includes:
- Information on how to deal with an ad (clicks, impressions, mouse movements)
- Information whether an advertisement has already appeared in your browser at an earlier time. This data helps to ensure that you do not see an advertisement more often.
In doing so, Google analyses and evaluates the data on the displayed advertising media and your IP address. Google uses the data primarily to measure the effectiveness of an advertisement and to improve the advertising offer. This data is not linked to personal data that Google may have about you through other Google services.
In the following I will introduce you to cookies that Google AdSense uses for tracking purposes. Here I refer to a test website that has only Google AdSense installed:
Name: uid

value:733366
Purpose: To be saved under the domain adform.net. The cookie is set when you click on an advertisement. I could not find out more detailed information about the use of this cookie.
Expiry date: after one hour
Note: This list cannot claim to be exhaustive, as experience has shown that Google changes the choice of your cookies time and again.
How long and where is the data stored?
Google records your IP address and various activities you carry out on the website. Cookies store this information about the interactions on my website. According to Google, the company collects and stores the information provided in a secure manner on Google’s own servers in the USA.
If you do not have a Google account or are not logged in, Google usually saves the collected data with a unique identification (ID) on your browser. The unique IDs stored in cookies serve, for example, to ensure personalised advertising. If you are logged into a Google Account, Google may also collect personal data.
You can delete some of the data that Google stores at any time. A lot of the information stored in cookies is automatically deleted after a certain time. However, there are also data that Google stores over a longer period of time. This is the case if Google has to store certain data for an indefinite, longer period of time due to economic or legal necessities.
