CLICKING BEHAVIOUR AND VISITOR DATA
Bestor collects general visitor data for statistical purposes. This means that in particular your computer's IP address, the time of request and data sent by a visitor's browser are recorded and used for statistical analyses of visiting and clicking behaviour on the website.
These data are not linked to a person's name. They are also processed in bulk and are thus anonymised. Your visit data will not be passed on to third parties.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics to analyse this data. This tool allows us to gauge how visitor numbers evolve, how users interact with Bestor and how effective various promotional efforts are. This allows us to respond more precisely to the interests of our readership as a whole and to present quantitative results to our subsidy provider(s).
The information generated in this way, including your IP address, is stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google Analytics undertakes to delete user data after a specific period of time. Google may provide information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as these third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Bestor has no influence on this. Bestor does not allow Google to use the analytics information obtained for other Google services. Read the privacy policy of Google for more information, as well as the specific privacy policy of Google Analytics.
SOCIAL MEDIA
On the Bestor homepage, a button has been included that links to the social network Facebook. This button is not implemented using code provided by Facebook and therefore does not place any cookies on the Bestor website.
On Bestor’s Facebook page, you are invited to follow or like Bestor. Facebook may use the data from these interactions. Bestor has no influence over this. Please regularly consult Facebook’s privacy policy to see how they handle your personal data.
