We generally only process the personal data of users of this website to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data regularly takes place only with the user’s consent or on the basis of another legal permission (Art. 6 (1) GDPR).<\/p>\n
This website is hosted by Hostinger. The provider is Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus. When this website is accessed, Hostinger collects various log files including your IP address. For details, please refer to Hostinger’s privacy policy: https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/privacy-policy. Use is based on a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) as well as our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) in a reliable and secure provision of this website.<\/p>\n
When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website’s server and temporarily stores it in a log file. The following information is collected automatically without your input:<\/p>\n
This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the trouble-free and secure operation of this website.<\/p>\n
Our website partly uses so-called cookies. These do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted after your visit ends. You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow them only in individual cases, exclude them generally, or automatically delete them when the browser is closed. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.<\/p>\n
To manage cookie consent in a legally compliant manner, we use the consent management tool “Real Cookie Banner”. When you first visit our website, you are shown a cookie banner in which you can decide which categories of cookies you consent to (e.g. statistics, marketing) or reject them. Only cookies that are technically necessary for the operation of the website are set without your consent.<\/p>\n
To document your consent (or refusal), a cookie is set in your browser (e.g. named “real_cookie_banner-…”). This cookie itself does not track your usage behavior. Its use is based on Art. 6(1)(c) and Art. 7(1) GDPR, as we are legally obligated to be able to prove consent, as well as on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in legally compliant cookie management). Consent to the setting of the corresponding cookies themselves (e.g. Google Analytics) is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TTDSG).<\/p>\n
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.<\/p>\n
This website uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of typefaces, provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Google’s servers. In doing so, Google learns that our website was accessed via your IP address. Use is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR). Further information: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy.<\/p>\n
Note: We are currently reviewing whether to host the fonts locally on our own server in the future to avoid this connection to Google.<\/em><\/p>\n If you sign up for our newsletter using the form offered on this website, you provide us with your email address and, if applicable, other voluntary information. We use the MailPoet service for this purpose. Registration takes place using the double opt-in procedure: after signing up, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register with someone else’s email address. Your data is stored until you unsubscribe; it is then deleted, provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter email.<\/p>\n On certain subpages (e.g. in the “Gaming” section), we embed publicly available image material (press material\/graphics) from third-party providers such as Valve\/Steam or the respective publishers. When these pages are loaded, the servers of the respective providers may receive your IP address and technical information about your browser, as the images are loaded directly from their servers. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a visually appealing presentation of our content (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).<\/p>\n With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (e.g. “_ga”, “_ga_W64QCMQRYG”) that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated is generally transferred to a Google server and stored there. The retention period for the cookies used is 2 years.<\/p>\n We use Google Analytics exclusively to understand how visitors interact with our website (e.g. which pages are viewed, how long users stay) in order to improve our content.<\/p>\n Google Analytics is only activated if you have given your consent via the cookie banner (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.<\/p>\n Google Ireland Limited’s parent company, Google LLC, is self-certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which is intended to guarantee an adequate level of data protection for data processing in the USA. Further information on Google’s handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n This website contains so-called affiliate links. These are links to offers of third-party providers, marked with a corresponding partner ID\/tag. If you click on an affiliate link and subsequently make a purchase on the provider’s website, we may receive a commission. There are no additional costs for you as a result.<\/p>\n We currently participate in the following affiliate\/partner programs:<\/p>\n Setting and displaying these links is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in financing this website through commissions. Once you click on an affiliate link, you leave our website; the respective third-party provider’s privacy policy applies to any subsequent data processing on their site.<\/p>\n With your consent, we measure clicks on affiliate links anonymously via Google Analytics 4 as an event (“affiliate_click”) in order to understand which offers are of interest to our visitors. Further information on this can be found in Section 9 (Web analytics with Google Analytics 4).<\/p>\n7. Newsletter<\/h2>\n
