2. Types of Data Processed

  • Usage data (pages visited, access times, time spent)
  • Technical data (browser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution)
  • Connection data (truncated IP address, referrer URL)
  • Location data (country and region, derived from IP address)

3. Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Purpose: Analysing website usage to improve our content and understand visitor behaviour.

Legal basis: Your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 165 of the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG 2021). No analytics cookies are set without your consent.

Google Consent Mode v2: We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2. Without your consent, GA4 only sends cookieless data pings for statistical modelling — no cookies are set and no personal data is stored persistently. Full analytics data is only collected after you explicitly grant consent.

Cookies set after consent:

CookiePurposeDuration
_gaDistinguishes user sessions2 years
_ga_*Session state and configuration2 years

Data transfers to third countries: Google LLC (USA) is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (European Commission adequacy decision of 10 July 2023). Data transfers to the USA are lawful on this basis. Further information: dataprivacyframework.gov.

Data retention in GA4: 26 months.

4. Server-Side Analytics

For the operation and security of this website, the following data is processed server-side on each page request:

  • Truncated IP address (the last octet is set to "0" before storage, e.g. 192.168.1.0)
  • User-Agent string (browser and operating system)
  • Page visited and referrer URL
  • Date and time of access

Legal basis: Legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (secure and reliable operation of the website).

Retention period: 90 days, then automatically deleted.

Note: No cookies are used for this server-side analytics. IP truncation means direct identification of individuals is not possible.

5. Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts (Google Ireland Limited, Dublin). When a page loads, a connection to Google servers is established, which may transmit your IP address to Google.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (consistent website presentation).
