The website is delivered through Cloudflare Pages. When a page is requested, technical connection data may be processed by the hosting and security infrastructure, in particular the IP address, date and time of access, requested resource, referring page, browser and operating-system information. This processing is technically necessary to deliver the website, maintain its security and prevent misuse.

Where the website operator processes these data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure, reliable and efficient provision of this academic website. Cloudflare may process data outside the European Economic Area; information on its processing and safeguards is available in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

3. No analytics, advertising or remote web fonts

This website does not use audience analytics, advertising networks, social-media pixels or marketing cookies. The fonts are supplied by the visitor’s operating system; no connection to Google Fonts or another font provider is initiated.

If you contact the operator by e-mail, the information you provide is processed in order to answer your enquiry and to manage the resulting correspondence. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, where the communication is directed towards entering into or performing an agreement, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Correspondence is retained only for as long as required for the purpose of the communication and any applicable legal obligations.
