What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small data sets that contain information from websites or domains you have visited, which are stored on your device. Based on the cookies, you can be recognised on a later visit to the corresponding website.

A distinction is made between different types of cookies:

• temporary or permament

• essential (necessary) and personalisation cookies.

This website uses a Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (borlabs-cookie) to store your cookie preferences.

Borlabs Cookie does not collect any personal data.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent

Before we process or have data processed in the context of the use of cookies, we ask users for consent that can be revoked at any time.

The borlabs-cookie cookie stores the consent you have given when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie from your browser. If you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked again for your cookie consent.

Media

Profile pictures from Gravatar
Gravatar is a service where users can register and leave profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave posts or comments on other online presences (especially blogs) with the respective email address, their profile pictures can be displayed next to the posts or comments. For this purpose, the email address provided by the users is transmitted to Gravatar in encrypted form for the purpose of checking whether a profile is stored for it. This is the sole purpose of the transmission of the email address. It is not used for other purposes, but is deleted afterwards.

The use of Gravatar is based on our legitimate interests, as we use Gravatar to offer post and comment authors the opportunity to personalise their posts with a profile picture.

If you do not want a user image linked to your Gravatar email address to appear in the comments, you should use an email address that is not on file with Gravatar to comment. We also point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous email address or no email address at all if users do not want their email address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our commenting system.
