Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 1, 2026

This policy describes what information is handled when you read networktraining.de, how the operator uses it and which choices you have. The operator is the person or organisation running Networktraining, and when this text says we or us, it means that operator.

Visit logs on our servers

When a page is requested, the server that delivers it normally records a log entry. It can include your IP address, the time of the request, the page you asked for, your browser and device type and the page that sent you here. For a site about networking and security, we find logs useful for spotting failed requests, unusual traffic and automated probing, and for seeing in broad terms which tutorials people read.

Cookies and similar storage

Networktraining may use cookies or comparable browser storage. Some are needed so pages load and display properly. Others, where switched on, count audience numbers, remember a display choice, support advertising or note which link led a visitor to a vendor for affiliate attribution. A cookie set by an analytics, advertising or affiliate provider is handled under that provider’s own privacy rules, not ours.

Controlling tracking in your browser

You can block or clear cookies in your browser, use private windows, or add privacy extensions and DNS-level filters, which many of our readers already run. When your browser sends a global privacy or do-not-track signal, we aim to respect it as an opt-out wherever our analytics and advertising setup can read it. A strict blocker may break an embedded video or a comment-style feature, which is a trade-off only you can weigh.

Email and forms

If you write to [email protected], we receive your address and whatever you include. Your details are used to reply, to correct a tutorial if you found a fault and to keep the thread in case you follow up. Messages are never sold, and a question or quote from you will not appear on the site unless you have agreed. Please leave out passwords, access keys, logs containing internal addresses and any confidential employer information.

Newsletters

If a newsletter or sign-up form is offered, the details you enter are used only to deliver what you asked for, such as new tutorial announcements. Each message explains how to unsubscribe, and you can also ask for removal by email.

Outside services we rely on

Publishing a technical blog involves providers such as hosting and content delivery, traffic measurement, advertising or affiliate networks and embedded material like videos or diagrams hosted elsewhere. These providers may receive technical details of your visit so their service can function. They operate under their own policies, and we cannot control how they handle data.

Retention

Server logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted or reduced to anonymous statistics. Emails are kept while they are useful for answering you, correcting a page or meeting a legal duty, and are removed once that need has passed.

Asking about your personal data

Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask what personal data we hold about you, request correction or deletion, object to certain processing, ask for a copy or withdraw consent you gave earlier. Send your request to [email protected] and describe what you want. We may ask for proof that the request is yours before acting, and we will respond within the period the applicable law sets.

Younger readers

Many students read about IT, but Networktraining is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. A parent or guardian who finds that a child has emailed us can ask for the message to be erased, and we will do so promptly.

Protecting information

We use encrypted connections and limit who can read the mailbox. As a site about security we know that no system is perfectly safe, so we cannot guarantee that information sent over the internet or stored with providers will never be exposed.

Data crossing borders

Hosting, delivery and analytics providers may handle data in several countries, where rules can differ from those near you. By using the site you accept that technical data about your visit can be processed in this way.

Updates to this policy

New analytics tools, a different ad setup or a change in the law may lead us to rewrite parts of this page. The effective date above shows the current version, and continuing to read Networktraining after an update means you accept the revised text.

Your consent and the regulator

Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time; this does not affect anything done before. The Cookie Policy lists every cookie this site sets and explains how to change your choice. Not satisfied with our answer? In the EU, EEA and UK you may complain to your data protection authority (the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK); in Australia, to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
