Capturing and processing of personal data

If the website provides the possibility of entering personal or business data (for example as part of personal registration, ordering, requesting for communication), the input of this data takes place expressly on a voluntary basis on the part of the visitor. Your data shall be treated confidentially and shall not be forwarded to third parties.

Visitors have the right to find out about personal data that has been stored and may request this information free of charge. They additionally have a right, under statutory provisions, to the correction, blockage and deletion of this personal data. Personal data shall only be collected by information providers if you communicate this yourself, for example as part of registration or via an email form.

Visitor statistics and web analysis

All access to our website and all accesses to files stored on this website are logged. The storage is solely for internal, system-related and statistical purposes. The following are logged:

• Date and time of the access

We use Piwik and Google Analytics for the web analysis with the anonymization function switched on in compliance with the data protection regulations. Piwik and Google-Analytics use "Cookies”: text files which are stored and read on your end device and which provide information about your usage behaviour on the Internet. The information generated by the cookie (including your truncated IP address) is securely stored. The IP address is anonymized in the process. You can disable cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. In this case, however, it may not be possible to make full use of all functions on this website.

You are able to visit the Archdiocese of Cologne web pages without us requiring personal data from you. Visitor behaviour is analysed on the server for statistical purposes. The individual user remains anonymous in these visitor statistics.

Information regarding the use of Piwik

If the web analysis program Piwik is used on our web pages, you can opt out from the storage and analysis of data regarding your visit at any time. If Piwik is used, the function for deactivating the web analysis on this page is available below.

Information regarding the use of Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analysis service of Google Inc (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”: text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie relating to your use of this website (including your IP address) will be passed on to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to produce reports on website activities for the website providers, and to provide other services related to the use of the website and of the Internet.

The information evaluated is available to the information providers on this server. Information is not forwarded to third parties for commercial purposes.

Google may transfer the data and information collected to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged together with other data from Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; we would point out that, in this case, you might not be able to make full use of all the functions on this website. Through the use of this website, you express your consent for data collected by Google about you to be processed in the manner described above and for the purposes previously mentioned.

However, because the Archdiocese of Cologne has activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states which are signatories to Agreement on the European Economic Area. It may only be necessary in exceptional circumstances, for example technical failure in Europe, for the full IP address to be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

If you do not wish your visit to our website to be evaluated by Google Analytics, you can prevent the recording of data generated by the cookie and related to use of our website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the "Browser-Add-on for deactivation of Google Analytics" which is available under the following link:
