General
This website is not intended to store any personal data of its visitors. Corresponding input options do not exist or have been disabled to the best of our knowledge. We neither send newsletters nor use contact forms. There are no sales tools or shop functions. There are no links to social media.
Despite all due care, it may happen that you object to certain content for data protection reasons. In that case, please contact us by e-mail (info@medienarchiv.com) so that we can correct issues quickly.
Anonymous Statistics
We would like to know how many visitors access this website and which articles interest them most. We also want to identify technical errors (incorrect links, missing elements, etc.). This website has existed since 1999 and has undergone various changes. Errors were/are unavoidable and are often only detectable through statistical information about access and results.
For this purpose, Matomo (formerly called Piwik) is used. Data protection officers consider Piwik / Matomo, when properly configured, to be the most privacy-friendly statistics tool. It is configured to automatically delete the last six digits of visitorsâ IP addresses so they cannot be identified. We have added code to ensure that Matomo does not store cookies in visitorsâ browsers.
Matomo provides us with the following information about visitors
- Number of visitors (daily, monthly, etc.)
- Visitor map by country
- Browser types and unique number of their users
- External website links from which visitors arrive
- Search terms that led to our pages
- Visitor distribution by time of day
- Shortened and anonymized IP addresses

Piwik: How many visitors did the website have per day?
Piwik: From which countries do visits originate?

Cookies Cookies are pieces of information stored by visitorsâ browsers. To the best of our knowledge, the creation of cookies by this website has been largely disabled. Many pages previously displayed advertisements from Google Adsense and affiliate systems. These were removed several years ago. However, it cannot be ruled out that some were overlooked. Such ads store cookies on usersâ computers. If you discover an active advertising block on this website, please inform us at info@medienarchiv.com.
You can disable the storage of cookies in your browsers!
Fair Play
We do not wish to know your personal data or identity. But we do try to make our website attractive and invest a lot of time in it. It would be fair if, in return, you accept the anonymous statistical collection by Matomo (formerly Piwik).
The content on this website was originally written in German. Only later were longer articles
translated into English to reach a more global audience. Hopefully, the supporting AI didnât
introduce too many errors in the process. For pages that primarily showcase images, however,
the additional effort of creating duplicate versions in two languages is hardly worthwhile.
