You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies, so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not to accept a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser.

If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your browsing behavior) are also stored, they will be dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

USER'S AGREEMENT
PLUGINS AND TOOLS
All In One WP Security
Our site uses the All In One WP Security (aiowps) plugin, published by All In One WP Security & Firewall Team. We use "All In One WP Security" (hereinafter "AIOWPS") on our websites. This service is provided by All In One WP Security & Firewall Team.
AIOWPS goes a long way towards meeting legal requirements for data protection, thanks to the multiple defenses it adds: anti SQL injection, anti XSS attack, anti brute force hacking, restriction of backoffice access to certain IP ranges, obligation to reconnect every 30 minutes, blocking of intrusions aimed at reading sensitive files. Your IP address and your browser's user agent may be collected and stored for a period of 3 months to help detect undesirable connections.
Its data processing is based on legitimate interest. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site against intrusive connections and the injection of abusive content.
Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts on our website. These are "Google Fonts" from Google Inc. For the European area, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.
You don't need to log in or enter a password to use Google Fonts. What's more, no cookies are stored in your browser. Files (CSS, fonts / fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, CSS and font requests are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you don't need to worry about your Google account details being passed on to Google while you're using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and fonts and stores this data securely.
What data is stored by Google?
When you visit our website, fonts are downloaded from a Google server. This external call transfers the data to the Google server. In this way, Google also recognizes that you or your IP address are visiting our website. The Google Fonts API has been developed to reduce the use, storage and collection of end-user data to what is necessary for the correct provision of fonts. By the way, API stands for "Application Programming Interface" and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software industry.
Google Fonts securely stores CSS and font requests with Google and is therefore protected. With the usage figures collected, Google can determine to what extent individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites such as Google Analytics.
Information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name is automatically transmitted to the Google server whenever Google Font is requested.
It is not clear whether or not this data is clearly communicated by Google, so we have chosen to use a tool (OMGF) to locally host the typos used on our site.
Google also uses data from its own crawler to determine which websites use Google Fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. Contractors and developers use the Google BigQuery web service to examine and move large quantities of data.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. This service is provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entered on our website (e.g. on a contact form) has been entered by a user or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the site visitor's behavior according to various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (for example, the IP address, the length of time the visitor has been on the website or the mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be transmitted to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Site visitors are not informed that such analysis is in progress.
Data processing is based on legitimate interest. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site against abusive automated exploration and spam.
