This is set for anyone who knows the URL that can be used to bypass the standard country blocking. This cookie is not set for people who do not know the hidden URL in order to bypass country blocking.

How does this cookie help: With this cookie, website owners can allow certain users from blocked countries even though their country has been blocked.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for reasons of security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If the SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data security

The provider uses technical and organizational security measures to protect the data stored by the provider against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons. Data transfers between service providers are carried out using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method. In this case, this software encrypts all information that is transmitted to and from supporters.
