No cookies, no tracking

This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or advertising tools and embeds no third-party content. Fonts, images and videos are served from my own server.

Hosting and server logs

The website runs on a server operated by Hetzner Online GmbH in Nuremberg, Germany. When you visit, the server processes technically necessary data such as IP address, time, requested address and browser identifier. This data serves secure operation only, is not analysed and is overwritten automatically after a short time. Germany provides data protection equivalent to the FADP.
