Cookies and services that are not technically necessary
WP Statistics
This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics from VeronaLabs, Tornimäe 5, 10145, Tallinn, Estonia, to evaluate website activity based on anonymously collected visitor data. Personal data which is processed includes:
- Browser data
- IP address
- Operating system
- Device category
- Device model
- Country, City, Region
- Referrals: Referrers, search engine, social media
- Most active / most recent visitor
This information helps me to understand how my blog is used, improve content, and ensure the security and stability of the website. The data is processed on the legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Users have the right to object to the processing of their data in connection with WP Statistics at any time.
All data collected through WP Statistics is stored locally and entirely on the web server of the site operator (https://all-inkl.com/). WP Statistics does not use cookies and does not create user profiles.
For the use of WP Statistics on this blog, I have configured the plugin with privacy-friendly settings to ensure compliance with data protection regulations:
- No online visitor monitoring: The function to track and display visitors currently online is disabled. While general visitor tracking remains active, no real-time monitoring of individual activity takes place.
- Anonymized IP addresses: Masks the last segment of a user’s IP address for privacy, complying with GDPR and preventing the full IP from being stored.
- Hashed IP addresses: Transforms IP addresses into a unique, non-reversible string using a secure algorithm, enhancing privacy protection and complying with data privacy regulations.
- Privacy audit: The built-in Privacy Audit feature is enabled to check WP Statistics settings for privacy compliance.
Further information on data processing and the provider’s data protection measures can be found in the WP Statistics privacy policy: https://www.wp-statistics.com/privacy-and-policy/
Additional services and plugins
Google Fonts
This website uses Google Fonts, which are hosted locally. No personal data is transmitted to Google when you access my blog.
VGW METIS
I use VG WORT’s METIS access counting system to measure visits to the online texts that I make available to you via my blog. This is done so that the probability of these texts being copied can be recorded. The probability of a text being copied forms the basis for the lawful distribution of remuneration in accordance with the Copyright Act (German: Urheberrechtsgesetz (UrhG)) by VG WORT to the authors and publishers of these texts.
For this purpose, a “counting mark” is embedded in the source code of the respective online text. This counting mark is an ID that is uniquely assigned to the respective text and ensures that, when such a text is visited, access to it can be counted.
In addition, as part of the METIS access counting, a client ID is generated and a “METIS session cookie” is set for the user of the marked text. This client ID and the session cookie make it possible to determine whether the text has already been accessed by this user within a browser session or not. This is necessary to prevent unlawful multiple counts of a text when determining its copying probability.
Neither the session cookie that is set nor any other personal data is processed at any time as part of METIS access counting. METIS access counting is carried out for VG WORT by Kantar GmbH, Landsberger Straße 284, 81379 Munich, Germany.
Individual users are not identified at any time. Your identity always remains protected, and you will not receive any advertising via this system.
More information is available in the “Integration description – METIS for Publishers” (German: Integrationsbeschreibung – METIS für Verlage). You can access the document via this link.
4. Data transfer to third parties and external recipients
In certain cases, I am legally obliged to transfer data to a requesting government agency, e.g. within the framework of national legislation. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. When involving service providers in the context of data processing on behalf of a client, I comply with the data protection provisions pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.
Furthermore, I will only pass on data to third parties if you have expressly consented to this or if the transfer is required by law.
In the event of personal data being transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA, I will take all necessary steps to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect your personal data in accordance with data protection regulations, e.g., application of the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission.
5. Links to other websites
My blog may contain links to external websites, such as my LinkedIn profile or other third-party pages referenced in blog posts. Please note that I have no control over and am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external sites. When you follow a third-party link, you will be directed to a website that operates under its own privacy policy. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
6. Use of data for communication and marketing
Newsletter subscription
If you subscribe to my newsletter, I will process the personal data you provide in order to inform you whenever a new blog post is published. The personal data I process includes your email address that serves to personalize the newsletter.
The processing of your data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you provide by actively registering, as well as on the basis of my legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely to optimize my offering and my communication with you.
A double opt-in procedure is used for registration to my newsletter. After you register, you will receive a confirmation email asking you to verify your subscription by clicking on a link. This procedure ensures that no unauthorized third party can register your email address for the newsletter. The double opt-in process, including the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address, is logged in order to fulfill my legal obligations to provide evidence.
You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter at any time. You can do this, for example, by using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to your withdrawal.
7. Data retention period
I store personal data until you revoke your consent or until it is legally required. If you unsubscribe from my newsletter, your record is not deleted. Instead, your status is updated to “unsubscribed”. This allows the system to respect your preference while preventing accidental re-subscription without your consent. If you wish to have your data deleted, you can request deletion at any time. In this case, please contact me via the email address provided above.
8. Data security
I take the protection of your personal data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures (TOMs) to ensure a level of security compliant with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These measures safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data I process and protect it against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration. The measures are reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect the current state of technology and to maintain a high standard of data protection.
9. Your rights as a data subject
You have the right to request, at any time and free of charge, information about the purpose, scope, origin, and recipients of your stored personal data (Art. 15 GDPR). You also have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR).
In accordance with data protection regulations, you also have the right to have your personal data deleted if the requirements of Art. 17 GDPR are met (right to be forgotten), as well as the right to restrict the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. In addition, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time (Article 21 GDPR) if this is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This applies in particular to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.
You also have the right to data portability, i.e. you can receive the personal data you have provided to me in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or request that this data be transferred to another responsible party, provided that the requirements of Art. 20 GDPR are met.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection regulations or that your rights have been violated in any other way, you have the right to submit a complaint to the competent supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.
Furthermore, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time with future effect, for example by sending an informal note by email or in writing to the contact details provided above (Art. 7(3) GDPR). The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by this.
