Hosting

Hosting and server logs
This website runs on our own server at Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR, no transfer to third countries). The server does not log ordinary page views. Only requests to typical attack paths (such as login pages of other systems or hidden files) are recorded for defence, with a shortened IP address (IPv4 without the last byte, IPv6 shortened to /48), and deleted after 14 days (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Browser storage
We set no cookies. Your browser's local storage keeps only your settings: colour scheme, selected market, language, table or card view and, if you choose, your opt-out from audience measurement. This data never leaves your device.
Fonts, images, scripts
We serve all fonts, images, 3D models and scripts ourselves. Nothing is loaded from third-party servers.
Videos (YouTube)
Videos are at first only a still image from our own server. Only when you click "Play video" is the video loaded via youtube-nocookie.com from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Your IP address and technical data are then transmitted to Google; a transfer to the USA is possible (Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). The legal basis is your consent given by the click (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Audience measurement
We count page views with the open-source software Matomo on our own server in Germany. Matomo runs here without cookies, shortens the IP address by two bytes, respects "Do Not Track" and builds no cross-site profiles. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in anonymous usage statistics (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR), and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
