Brow­ser Tracking Cookies

The T&S pro­ject team uses coo­kies on its web­site for its tech­ni­cal func­tio­n­ing and for gathe­ring statistics.

The legal basis for pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data by using ses­si­on coo­kies is Art. 6 para. 1 point f) GDPR (legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest). Without the use of the ses­si­on coo­kies espe­cial­ly, several func­tions could not be offe­red on our website.

A coo­kie is a small pie­ce of data that a web­site stores on the visitor’s com­pu­ter or mobi­le device.

The infor­ma­ti­on on this page lists the coo­kies that this web­site uses and descri­bes their pur­po­se. You will also find some more detail here about coo­kies rela­ting to our social media chan­nels and Wor­d­Press Sta­tis­tics, the ser­vice we use for our statistics.

The T&S pro­ject team is acti­ve on social media and other plat­forms. The­se com­mu­nities streng­t­hen our online pre­sence and visibility.

• The T&S web­site does set coo­kies with the dis­play of links to our social media chan­nels (Face­book, Pin­te­rest, Twit­ter, You­Tube) when you are brow­sing our web­site as well as to other web­sites like Wiki­pe­dia and online dictionaries.
• By cli­cking on one of the social media but­tons on our web­site, you will be re-direc­ted to tho­se web­sites, which have their own coo­kie and pri­va­cy poli­ci­es over which we have no control.

The T&S pro­ject team is using ses­si­on coo­kies to ensu­re the cor­rect usa­ge of the web­site. Coo­kies used by the T&S pro­ject team are dele­ted after the session.

Per­sis­tent coo­kies are saved on your com­pu­ter and are not dele­ted auto­ma­ti­cal­ly when you clo­se your brow­ser, unli­ke a ses­si­on coo­kie, which is dele­ted when you clo­se your brow­ser. The web­site remem­bers your per­so­nal set­tings or rea­ding paths in order to res­to­re your posi­ti­on at a later time.

Wor­d­Press Statistics

The T&S pro­ject team uses the Wor­d­Press tool Sta­tis­tics to sta­tis­ti­cal­ly eva­lua­te visi­tor access. The pro­vi­der is Auto­mat­tic Inc, 60 29th Street #343, San Fran­cis­co, CA 94110–4929, USA.

Wor­d­Press Sta­tis­tics uses coo­kies, which are stored on your com­pu­ter and allow an ana­ly­sis of the use of the web­site. The infor­ma­ti­on gene­ra­ted by the coo­kies about the use of our web­site is stored on ser­vers in the USA. Your IP address is anony­mi­zed after pro­ces­sing and befo­re saving.

Wor­d­Press-Stats coo­kies remain on your com­pu­ter until you dele­te them.

The sto­rage of Wor­d­Press Stats-Coo­kies is based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The T&S pro­ject team has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the anony­mi­sed ana­ly­sis of user beha­viour in order to opti­mi­se the use and the dis­se­mi­na­ti­on of the site.

You can set your brow­ser to inform you about the set­ting of coo­kies and to allow coo­kies only in indi­vi­du­al cases, to exclu­de the accep­t­ance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral, and to acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. If you deac­ti­va­te coo­kies, the func­tio­n­a­li­ty of our web­site may be limited.
