6. Third-Party Services

Cloudflare (CDN, security and web analytics)

This website is delivered through Cloudflare, Inc. (USA). Cloudflare provides the content delivery network (CDN), DNS and TLS encryption and protects the site against abuse. As a result, when you view a page your IP address, browser information and the address you requested pass through Cloudflare's infrastructure. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating the website securely and efficiently).

Cloudflare Web Analytics is also used for visitor statistics. This tool sets no cookies, writes no data to your browser, accesses no data stored on your device and creates no fingerprint. It measures only aggregate figures such as page views, referrer, country, device class and page-load time; no user profiles are built and no cross-site tracking takes place. Because nothing is stored on and nothing is read from your terminal equipment, no consent under § 25 TDDDG is required; the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with Cloudflare. Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; the EU standard contractual clauses apply in addition. For details, see cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
