Cookies
In some instances, our website and its pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make our website more user friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most of the cookies third parties use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your leave our site. Other cookies will remain archived on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable certain third parties to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.
You can adjust the settings of your browser to make sure that you are notified every time cookies are placed and to enable you to accept cookies only in specific cases or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific situations or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functions of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required to provide certain functions you want to use (e.g. the embedded audio players by Soundcloud, Mixcloud or Bandcamp), are stored by third parties on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. Third parties have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the operator’s services.
Wordfence is a third party which offers a feature for a site visitor to bypass the country blocking feature by accessing a hidden URL. This cookie helps track who should be allowed to bypass the country blocking feature.
Who gets this cookie?
When a hidden URL defined by the site administrator is visited, this cookie is set to verify the user can access the site from a country restricted by the country blocking feature. This will be set for anyone who knows and visits the hidden URL. This cookie is not set for anyone who does not know the hidden URL to bypass country blocking. This cookie gives site owners a way to allow certain users from blocked countries to visit your site, even though the country they are located in has been blocked.

- The IP address
This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.
