Privacy policy

This site is built to leave you alone. No tracking cookies, no advertising networks, no external fonts or maps. The only scripts loaded from other addresses are an anonymous, cookieless visitor count, explained right below, and the forms of our own form service formdialog.com. The planners calculate in your browser and send nothing anywhere.

Visitor count

An exception to what this page otherwise says about outside services: every page loads a small counting script from analytics.axaix.app, the network's own statistics server. It is hosted in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and the data is not passed on to third parties.

The script sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It records the page viewed, the page the visit came from, screen width and language, the broad device type, browser and operating system, and clicks on downloads and on links to other websites. Your IP address is used only briefly to determine country and city and to form a daily hash, then discarded and never stored. The hash changes every day, so a visitor cannot be recognised from one day to the next. Raw data is deleted after twelve months. If your browser sends “Do Not Track”, the visit is not counted.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of these pages with as little data as possible (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Advertising

Through the counting script, every page also loads the advertising script ad.member.show/axaix.js. On the network’s magazines it shows labelled ads from members of the member.show network, and banner.member.show serves the banner images. Both addresses belong to the network itself and are hosted by the provider Hostinger. No data is passed on to advertisers or any other third parties.

The advertising script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and builds no user profiles. Which ad appears depends only on the page viewed and its language. Impressions and clicks are counted solely as totals per ad, page and day, and your IP address is not stored for this. A click on an ad passes briefly through ad.member.show and then on to the advertiser.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in funding the magazines through advertising and showing advertisers the reach of their ads (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted in the European Union. The hosting provider stores access data (IP address, time, requested page, browser) in server logs for security purposes for a limited period. Legal basis: Article 6 (1) f GDPR, our legitimate interest in a secure operation.

Contact form and the Table Letter

The contact form and the sign-up for the Table Letter come from formdialog.com, the form service of NexTao GmbH. It runs on its own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. With the form it learns on which cociana page it is shown.

If you write to us through the contact form, we process the data you enter (name, email address, subject, message) to answer you. Legal basis: Article 6 (1) b GDPR. The message is delivered to our editorial team by email, stored in the form service and deleted once it is no longer needed. To fend off abuse, the IP address of every submission is kept for 14 days. Legal basis: Article 6 (1) f GDPR.

The Table Letter uses double opt-in: after signing up you receive an email with a confirmation link, and only the click on it subscribes you. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 30 days. As proof of your consent we store the time and IP address of the sign-up and of the confirmation. Your email address stays on our list until you unsubscribe, which is possible with every letter. Legal basis: Article 6 (1) a GDPR. We do not pass data on to third parties.

Local storage

The planners and the quiz remember your inputs, your saved dinner and your poll vote in your browser’s local storage. That data never leaves your device and you can delete it in your browser settings.

Poll

When you vote in a poll, a salted and shortened hash of your IP address is stored for one month so that a vote counts once. No IP address is stored in clear text.

Share buttons

The share buttons are plain links. Nothing is loaded from a social network until you click one, and then only the network you chose learns the page address.
