Retention period with the hosting provider: [e.g., 7 days / 14 days / specify the hosting provider].
4. SSL/TLS Encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser begins with “https://” and a padlock icon is displayed.
Encryption ensures that transmitted data cannot be easily read by third parties.

Provided that caching does not involve any further processing of personal data, the plugin does not collect any additional personal data for analytical or marketing purposes.
