Hosting and server logs

The website runs on a server operated by Hetzner Online GmbH. When you visit, the web server stores technically necessary information such as IP address, time, requested page and browser type in log files. These are only used for secure operation and are deleted after 14 days at the latest.

Contact form

If you write to me via the form, I store your name, email address, optionally your company and your message in order to reply. To prevent abuse I also store an irreversible hash of your IP address. I don’t share this data and delete it once it is no longer needed, after 12 months at the latest.

So that I see new messages quickly, a notification may be sent by email via my mail provider.

Cookies

The website sets one technically necessary session cookie that protects the contact form from abuse. In addition, Google Analytics sets cookies to measure reach (see below). There are no advertising cookies.

Google Analytics

To understand how the website is used, I use Google Analytics 4 by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Using cookies, it records information such as pages visited, time on page, approximate location, device and browser. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses.

Data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA. Google is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can prevent tracking by blocking cookies in your browser or by installing Google’s browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics.

Fonts

All fonts are served directly from this server. No data is sent to Google or other font providers.

Your rights

You can ask at any time what data is stored about you and request that it be corrected or deleted. An email to markus.straessle@me.com is all it takes.
