Privacy
Short version: mirosta sets no cookies, uses no third-party analytics services, loads nothing from third party servers and does not know who you are as long as you do not write to us.
Visitor count
An exception to what this page otherwise says about outside services: every page loads a small counting script from a.teaser.md, the network's own statistics server. It is hosted in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and the data is not passed on to third parties.
The script sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It records the page viewed, the page the visit came from, screen width and language, the broad device type, browser and operating system, and clicks on downloads and on links to other websites. Your IP address is used only briefly to determine country and city and to form a daily hash, then discarded and never stored. The hash changes every day, so a visitor cannot be recognised from one day to the next. Raw data is deleted after twelve months. If your browser sends “Do Not Track”, the visit is not counted.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of these pages with as little data as possible (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Advertising
Through the counting script, every page also loads the advertising script ad.member.show/axaix.js. On the network’s magazines it shows labelled ads from members of the member.show network, and banner.member.show serves the banner images. Both addresses belong to the network itself and are hosted by the provider Hostinger. No data is passed on to advertisers or any other third parties.
The advertising script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and builds no user profiles. Which ad appears depends only on the page viewed and its language. Impressions and clicks are counted solely as totals per ad, page and day, and your IP address is not stored for this. A click on an ad passes briefly through ad.member.show and then on to the advertiser.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in funding the magazines through advertising and showing advertisers the reach of their ads (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Server logs
Our hosting provider stores the usual technical data on every request (IP address, time, page requested, browser) for security purposes and deletes it after a short period. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We do not evaluate these logs for profiling.
Fonts, images, videos, maps and scripts
Everything on this site is served from our own domain, except the contact form and the newsletter sign-up, which come from formdialog.com, our own form service. No Google Fonts, no other external scripts, no embedded maps or videos from third parties. The world map is drawn by our own code from public domain outlines; it never contacts a map service.
Interactive tools and quiz
The brew calculator, the caffeine calculator, the aroma wheel, the roast level explorer, the brewer finder and the coffee type quiz run in your browser. They save your entries and your quiz result in your own browser (local storage) so that they are still there on your next visit. Nothing is transmitted to us. You can delete that data at any time in your browser settings or with the reset buttons.
Sharing on social networks
The share buttons are simple links. Only when you click one does the network in question open in a new window and learn which page you want to share. No network is contacted when you visit our pages. The result image is drawn in your browser.
Newsletter and contact form
The contact form and the newsletter sign-up come from formdialog.com, the form service of NexTao GmbH. It runs on its own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. With the form it learns on which mirosta page it is shown.
When you write to us through the contact form, we process the details you enter (name, email address, subject, message) in order to answer you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). The message is delivered to our editorial team by email, stored in the form service and deleted once it is no longer needed. To fend off abuse we keep the IP address of every submission for 14 days (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The newsletter uses double opt-in: after signing up you receive an email with a confirmation link, and only the click on it subscribes you. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 30 days. As proof of your consent we store the time and IP address of the sign-up and of the confirmation. Your email address stays on our list until you unsubscribe; every issue contains an unsubscribe link (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). We do not pass your data on to third parties.
