Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

Some cookies are technically necessary for the website and, in particular, functions such as login, user accounts, security and session management to operate correctly.

Where cookies are technically necessary, processing is carried out in accordance with the applicable legal provisions for technically required functions. Where consent is required for certain cookies, these cookies will only be set after the appropriate consent has been given.

7. Protection Against Abuse with Google reCAPTCHA

To protect our website against automated access, spam and misuse, we use Google reCAPTCHA for certain functions.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to determine whether entries on our website are made by a human or by automated programs. Technical data such as the IP address, browser information and other information required for the security check may be processed.

Our website contains links to external websites and services. These may include links to Discord, YouTube, Facebook, PayPal, Stripe or other external services.

As long as you do not click such an external link, the mere display of a normal link generally does not result in personal data being transmitted directly to the respective provider through that link.

Once you follow an external link, you leave our website. The operator of the respective external service is responsible for any subsequent processing of personal data.
