2.2. Server Data / Server Log Files

For technical reasons, the following data, which your Internet browser transmits to us or to our web space provider, is recorded. This data includes
• Browser type and version
• operating system used

• Website you visit

This anonymous data cannot be assigned to specific persons. They are evaluated for statistical purposes in order to be able to optimize our website. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

2.3 Web Analysis with Google Analytics

On hhv-mag.com we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the legal requirements when using Google Analytics.

We use the “Activation of IP anonymization” function on this website. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby made anonymous. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Cookies are used, for example, to collect information about the operating system, browser, your IP address, the website you previously accessed (referrer URL) and the date and time of your visit to our website. The information generated in this way about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. If this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google, Google will also pass this information on to these third parties. This usage is anonym or pseudomized. You can find more information about this directly on Google.

If you call up a page that has an embedded video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. According to information from YouTube, only data is transmitted to the YouTube server in “extended data protection mode”, in particular which of our Internet pages you have visited when you watch the video. If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, this information will be assigned to your YouTube member account.

2.6 Sharing on Social Media

Plugins from the social media Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are used on our website. We only use this together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. The application prevents the plugins integrated on our website from transferring data to one of the three providers the first time you enter the site. A direct connection to the provider’s server is only established when the respective plugin is activated by clicking on the associated button, which is tantamount to consent. As soon as you activate the plugin, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account at the same time, the respective provider can assign your visit to our website to your user account.
