Collection of general information when visiting the www.mistletoe-therapy.org website

You cannot log on to the website, enter data or make comments. Therefore, we only collect data that your internet browser transmits to our server (so-called server log files). When you visit the website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website:

  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you reached the site
  • Used browser
  • Operating system in use
  • Used IP-address.

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO on the basis of our justified interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files subsequently if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

 

Use of cookies

To optimize our website, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on the visitor's end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us (persistent cookies). If you do not deactivate the use of cookies, certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values are collected and stored on the website to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie.

Insofar as personal data are also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO to safeguard our legitimate interest in the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly design of the page visits.

Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally. Each browser differs in the way it manages the cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for each browser under the following links:

Microsoft Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies

Microsoft Edge: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-10-microsoft-edge-and-privacy

Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-erlauben-und-ablehnen

Chrome: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=de&hlrm=en&-answer=95647

Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph21411?locale=de_DE

Opera: http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/de/cookies.html

Please note that the functionality of our website may be limited if cookies are not accepted.

 

Google Web-Fonts

We use Google web fonts that have been outsourced locally, so no access to Google servers is necessary.

 

Matomo

In our internet presence we use Matomo (formerly: "PIWIK"). This is an open source software, with which we can analyse the use of our internet presence. Your IP address, the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the website from which you have switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), your length of stay on our Internet presence as well as the frequency with which you call up one of our websites are processed.

To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your end device via your internet browser. This cookie is valid for one week.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our internet presence.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymization function "Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs". This anonymization function shortens your IP address by two bytes so that an assignment to you or to the Internet connection you are using is impossible.
If you do not agree with this processing, you have the possibility to prevent the storage of the cookie by a setting in your internet browser. You will find more information on this under "Cookies" above, and you also have the option of ending the analysis of your usage behaviour by means of the so-called opt-out. With the confirmation of the link a cookie is stored on your end device via your internet browser, which prevents further analysis. Please note, however, that you will have to click the above link again if you delete the cookies stored on your terminal device.

Measures to protect your privacy

We herewith assure you that we do not carry out any analyses using personal data that has been stored on the web server as a result of your visit to the website. We therefore do not know and make no attempt to find out whether, when and how often you visited this website and which pages you clicked on.

We do not work with advertising partners and do not use cookies from third parties.

We do not share any user-related data with third parties.

In particular, we do not use social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and similar services on our website in order to prevent the secret surveillance of your website visits by spy services.

Please note: For example, if you have logged in to Facebook and visit our website, Facebook may register the pages you visit. We cannot prevent this. Therefore, please log off Facebook, YouTube and similar services before visiting our website.

 

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always meets the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration then applies to your renewed visit.
