Log Files

Each time you access content on our website, data is temporarily stored that may allow identification. The following data is automatically transmitted by your browser and stored in so-called server log files:

• IP address of the requesting device
• Date and time of access
• Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
• Information about the browser and operating system used

Temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to deliver the website to the user's device. Log files help ensure the functionality and security of our website and support attack detection.

The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data is stored for 7 days. Longer storage is only possible if necessary to investigate or prosecute attacks or fulfill legal obligations.

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for displaying ads from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use AdSense to monetize our website with advertising.

Personalized ads: These require your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TTDSG). Consent is collected via our consent tool.

Non-personalized/limited ads: If you do not consent, Google may still show context-based ads. These are shown based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Even with limited ads, Google may use cookies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention, and billing based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The following data may be transferred to Google:

• IP address
• Website visits and content (for personalization or context)
• Ad metrics (e.g. impressions, clicks)
• Technical device and browser info
• Pseudonymous identifiers (cookies, ad IDs)

Data may be transferred to Google servers in the USA. Transfers are based on SCCs and/or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (if applicable).

You can revoke your consent anytime via our consent tool:

Google Gemini

We use an interactive chatbot based on Google Gemini technology (Google Ireland Limited). The chatbot responds during games against computer players.

The following data is processed:

• Input texts (prompts)
• Generated responses
• Technical metadata (e.g. timestamps)

Data is sent to Google to generate responses. Do not enter personal data into the chatbot.

Processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to offer an interactive feature.

Data may be transferred to servers in the USA. Transfers rely on SCCs and/or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (if applicable).

We do not store chat histories. Google processes them per its privacy policy.
