2.1 Access to the website and usage statistics
When you call up this website, the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This data is only collected anonymously and therefore cannot be assigned to a specific person. For the purpose of analysing the use and scope of our journal and the articles published here, we document and store access to the main page of the journal, to issues, articles, flags and additional files. All information is made anonymous. IP addresses are anonymized using a hash algorithm (SHA 256) in combination with a secure 64-character salt. The salt is automatically randomly generated and overwritten daily. In this way, IP addresses cannot be reconstructed afterwards.
In addition to the anonymised IP addresses, the following data is collected:
The information collected is only used to statistically evaluate the use of the content. There is no assignment of IP addresses to user IDs. It is technically impossible to subsequently trace a specific data record to a specific IP address.

3. Transfer of data

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us without indicating a special situation. If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an e-mail to gmj@polsoz.fu-berlin.de.
