    Use of cookies and analysis tool

    Some of the internet pages of the Centre for Pastoral Care and Counselling (ZSB) of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

    Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

    You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, prevent the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.


    Instagram

    Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an "Instagram camera". You can find an overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance here.

    When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Instagram. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page. This integration provides Instagram with the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Instagram" button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there.

    The information will also be published on your Instagram account and shown to your contacts there. Please refer to Instagram's privacy policy for information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Instagram, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

    If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Instagram plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).

     

    Recommend individual content on social platforms

    Some sub-pages of the website of the Centre for Pastoral Care and Counselling (ZSB) of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau contain a recommendation function for social networks such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Behind this recommendation function, we have integrated the privacy-friendly two-tier Heise solution.

    If you call up a page of our website, no connection is established with the servers of the network concerned. Certain data are only forwarded to the external web server of the social network after a click on the recommendation function. This includes, for instance, the internet address you are currently visiting as well as an identifier that is linked to your person if you are a user of such a social platform. This enables social platforms to create surfing profiles of their users.

    If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still a possibility that Facebook will learn and store your IP address. If you are logged into the social network when you activate the recommendation function, your visit to our website will be directly assigned to your user account on the social platform. However, before you can use the recommendation function, you will be informed by us again of the consequences and must confirm that you agree to the forwarding of the data specified. The exact purpose and scope of the data collection by the social networks and the further use of your data as well as possible setting options with regard to your user account are also available in the privacy policy of the respective networks.

    E-mails / Forms

    The reception of e-mail communication may be disrupted and/or not reach the recipient in time for technical or operational reasons. This means that sending e-mails to us does not have the effect of preserving time limits and cannot set time limits in a legally binding manner. We recommend that you send time-critical or urgent messages additionally by post, courier or fax.

    If you want to be sure that your e-mail has been received correctly, please request a written confirmation of receipt from the recipient. We take all reasonably expected precautions to prevent the risk of transmission of computer viruses. However, we are not liable for any damage caused by computer viruses.

    Please check for computer viruses yourself before reading e-mails, especially before opening e-mail attachments. Communication by e-mail is insecure, as there is always the possibility of third parties gaining access and manipulating the data. We recommend that you do not send confidential data unencrypted by e-mail.

     

    Changes

    We reserve the right to change the Privacy Policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or in the event of changes to the service and data processing. However, this only applies with regard to declarations on data processing. Insofar as user consents are required or components of the Privacy Policy contain provisions governing the contractual relationship with the users, the changes will only be made with the consent of the users.

    Users are requested to regularly inform themselves about the content of the Privacy Policy.
