But web 2.0 is much more:
terms like RSS, Atom, Trackback, Social bookmarking, iPod and Podcasting, AJAX, Blogosphere and Error! Link reference invalid.,13.4247317,10z" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.google.de/maps/@52.5068441,13.4247317,10z">Google maps are just some of the buzzwords that together stand for web 2.0.

Ultimately, it's all about one thing: It's no longer the programs on the PC that count; the Internet itself becomes the application. The days of local data storage are coming to an end. Mobility is the keyword: content is on the Net. Anyone who wants it now has full access to the Web via cell phone. You can read the news, download music or watch videos. It no longer matters where you are, you just need access to the Internet. Whether by cable or wireless (WLAN or UMTS), data and content are always and everywhere available.

"Do Not Track" requests
This website/s does not support do-not-track requests ("Do Not Track") by web browsers. For information on whether integrated third-party services support the Do Not Track protocol, users should refer to the privacy policy of the respective service.

Social bookmarking, social web and social software
One of the new and certainly most interesting Internet applications is what could be summarized as social bookmarking, social web or social software. This involves the networking of content and people. Typical examples are the so-called wikis, such as the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, image sharing services such as Flickr or the social bookmarking platform del.icio.
us. What all three have in common is that they are more than just online repositories for content.

Web 2.0 and 3.0 - Exciting and highly dangerous at the same time
Nothing illustrates the beauty and the danger of web 2.0 as concisely as the video EPIC 2015 of the Museum of Media History. See also HERE - It must also be emphatically stated at this point that intelligence services, investigative bodies and other such interested parties are increasingly using Web 2.0 for their own purposes - so the user should always be warned that the Internet has long since ceased to be a lawless space and that the transparent citizen is not an invention, so you should also observe your own data protection.

Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, "DEUTSCHE TAGESZEITUNG" published by GSMedia, a media division of GSB Gold Standard Corporation AG, Unter den Linden 21, D-10117 Berlin (Federal Republic of Germany), Telephone: +49 30 2092-4045, Fax: +49 30 2092 40 44, Commercial Register Duesseldorf (Federal Republic of Germany) HRB 94738, Sales Tax ID: DE 275405062, Mail: [email protected], provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

54. legal basis of processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

55. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

56. duration for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

57. legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide
We inform you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us.

For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

58. existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
