Cookies and external services

We use cookies and comparable technologies (such as browser local storage). Which ones we use depends on the choices you make in our consent banner. You can review and change those choices at any time via or the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

Strictly necessary

These are required for the website to work and to remember the privacy choices you make. They store your consent decision in your browser. No data is transmitted to third parties. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a functioning website (DSGVO art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f) and § 25 sect. 2 no. 2 TDDDG; no consent is required and these cannot be switched off.

External media (YouTube, Vimeo)

Some pages embed videos hosted by YouTube, a service of Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and by Vimeo. Until you consent, no video is loaded: we show a preview image that we fetch from our own server, so no request reaches the provider.

Once you consent, the embedded player is loaded directly from the provider. This transmits at least your IP address, information about your browser and device, and the address of the page you are viewing. The provider may set cookies and combine this data with an existing account, and may use it to build a profile. We have no influence on and no access to this processing. Data may be transferred to servers in the USA; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Legal basis: your consent (DSGVO art. 6 sect. 1 lit. a and § 25 sect. 1 TDDDG). Further information: Google's privacy policy and Vimeo's privacy policy.

Newsletter (Brevo)

Our newsletter signup form and the web versions of past issues are hosted by Brevo, a service of Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Until you consent, the form is not loaded and we show a placeholder instead.

Once you consent, the form is loaded directly from Brevo, which transmits your IP address and information about your browser. If you then subscribe, the data you enter (email address, and any further details you provide) is processed by Brevo on our behalf under a data processing agreement, and is used solely to send you our newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every newsletter, which also revokes your consent for the future.

Legal basis: your consent (DSGVO art. 6 sect. 1 lit. a and § 25 sect. 1 TDDDG). Further information: Brevo's privacy policy.

Protected contact details (Cloudflare Turnstile)

Publisher and game profiles may offer contact details that are hidden from the public page and its data feed. Before an email address is revealed, we use Cloudflare Turnstile, provided by Cloudflare, Inc., to protect the address from automated collection and misuse.

When the protected area is displayed, Turnstile processes technical signals about your browser and connection to distinguish legitimate visitors from bots. A short-lived verification token is sent to our server and validated before the requested email address is returned.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in providing useful industry contact information while preventing automated harvesting and misuse (DSGVO art. 6 sect. 1 lit. f).
