Cookies do not contain personal data and are automatically deleted at the end of the session.

In addition, web browsers may store certain elements locally (e.g., in the browser cache or local storage). This is controlled by the user's browser settings and is not actively managed by the forum software.

Forum Software and Technical Operation

This forum runs on WoltLab Suite, a secure and modern community software developed in Germany.
The site uses SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) to protect all data transmitted between your browser and the server.

4. Embedded Content from Third Parties

YouTube

Forum posts may include embedded YouTube content. This creates a connection to servers of YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin).
Due to technical reasons, your IP address may be transmitted.

Freizeitgruppe Bremen has no control over this data processing.

Google Maps

Posts may also include links or embedded content from Google Maps (for example, meeting locations). This also connects to servers of Google Ireland Ltd., which may result in the transmission of your IP address and other personal data.

Again, this data transmission is handled directly by the third-party provider.
