Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We may use cookies; for example, to keep track of your preferences and profile information.

Cookies are also used to collect general usage and volume statistical information, which does not include personal information.

We use the open-source web analytics tool Matomo, formerly called Piwik, to track visits on the website sonjafischbauer.com. Due to privacy reasons and to meet legal requirements from several countries, the IP addresses of the visitors are anonymized (123.45.67.89 –> 123.45.xx.xx).

Our site includes links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy statements. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any website you visit.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

This site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Security

When we collect personal information directly from you, we follow generally accepted industry standards – like SSL encrypted transmission – to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission, and when we receive it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
