3. Server Log Files
The hosting provider automatically collects and stores: IP address of the requesting device, date and time of the request, accessed and referring URL, browser and operating system, and amount of data transferred. This data is used exclusively to ensure smooth operation and is not merged with other data sources. Log files are deleted after [number] days.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

Language preference — A cookie stores the selected language (e.g. “de” or “en”).
Dark mode preference — When you activate dark mode, your preference is stored in your browser’s localStorage. No data is transmitted to the server.
Project view marker — Your localStorage records which projects you have already visited to prevent duplicate counting (see Section 6).

6. Project View Counter

When a project page is accessed, a counter is incremented. A cryptographic hash of your IP address (not reversible) is processed to limit counting to once per hour. The IP address itself is not stored. Only the total view count per project is retained.

7. Search Function

Search terms are transmitted to the server via AJAX and processed to generate results in real time. Search terms are not stored.

If you contact us by email, your data (email address, name, message content) will be stored to process your inquiry and deleted once the purpose has been fulfilled. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(b) for pre-contractual inquiries.
