3. Cookies and local storage (technically necessary)

Without your consent we only use technically necessary cookies and local storage. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG.

Depending on the tool you actively use, additional local inputs/history may be stored in your browser where this is required for the requested tool functionality. This data is not transmitted to us server-side.

4. Analytics and advertising

Plausible Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly web analytics service from Plausible Insights OÜ (Västriku tn 2, 50403 Tartu, Estonia, registration no. 14709274).

Purpose

Creating aggregated reach statistics so we can understand which pages and tools are used and improve the website.

Data processed

No cookies or persistent identifiers

Plausible does not set cookies, use browser local storage, or create persistently recognisable visitor profiles. Full IP addresses and full User-Agents are not stored. To count unique visits, Plausible uses a daily salted hash; the salt is deleted every 24 hours.

Legal basis

Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in privacy-friendly, aggregated reach measurement and website improvement). Because Plausible does not use cookies or comparable storage technologies on your device, this analytics setup does not require consent under § 25(1) TDDDG.

Recipient, processing and transfers

The recipient is Plausible Insights OÜ in Estonia. Plausible processes the data as our processor under Art. 28 GDPR. Analytics data is processed and stored within the European Union.

Retention

The hash basis used to count visitors is renewed daily. We keep aggregated statistics only for as long as they are needed for reach analysis and website improvement.

Google advertising services are only activated after your prior consent. Without consent, Google ads are not loaded.

Google AdSense and Google Privacy & Messaging

If Google advertising is activated or delivered on the site, we use Google AdSense to display ads and Google Privacy & Messaging / Funding Choices to manage consent. The providers are Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

Purpose

Managing your consent decision and serving, limiting, securing, and measuring the performance and reach of ad placements.

Data processed

Cookies and storage used

Depending on consent, cookies, local storage identifiers, or similar technologies may be used for ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention, and measurement.

We currently configure Google for non-personalised ads. Even in that mode, activation only takes place after your prior consent.

Legal basis

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG (consent).

Recipients and transfer to the USA

Recipients are Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. For transfers to the USA, Google relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) adequacy decision and, additionally, on EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Further information: business.safety.google/adsdatatransfers.

Roles and contractual framework

Depending on the specific Google product function, Google may process data as our processor or as an independent controller. The applicable Google product terms and privacy notices govern the details.

Retention

Retention depends on the relevant Google service, your consent choice, and Google's own retention periods. Further details are available in Google's privacy documentation.

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time via the footer link. More information about Google's use of data is available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads and policies.google.com/privacy.
