3. Hosting
This website is hosted by webgo GmbH (Wandsbeker Zollstraße 95, 22041 Hamburg, Germany). The hosting provider collects the following data in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits:

This data is collected to ensure trouble-free operation of the website and is automatically deleted after 7 days at the latest. This data is not merged with other data sources.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure website operation).
4. Cookies
This website uses only technically necessary cookies. Therefore, no cookie consent banner is required.
Cookies used:

Note: You can delete cookies in your browser settings at any time or prevent their storage altogether. However, this may limit the functionality of the website.
5. Embedded Content (YouTube Videos)
Some pages contain embedded YouTube videos. These are not loaded automatically. Instead, you first see a preview image.
Only when you actively click on “Play video” is a connection established to YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The following data is then transmitted to YouTube:
- Your IP address
- The URL of the page where you watch the video
- Information about your browser
YouTube may set cookies and analyze your usage behavior.
We use YouTube’s enhanced privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which reduces the storage of cookies as long as you do not click “Play.”
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent through your active action).
