A third party provider (webgo GmbH, Wandsbeker Zollstr. 95, 22041 Hamburg, Germany) hosts and presents the website.

Use of COOKIES
The City of Nuremberg uses cookies. However, all pages can also be accessed without the user’s permission to store cookies without restriction. In the case of tele-services that use obligatory cookies, special attention is drawn to this fact on the respective pages.
USE OF PLUGIN SMASH BALLOON INSTAGRAM FEED
We use an Instagram feed plugin to display social media content on our website. As a result, our website sends requests to Instagram’s servers for data to populate the feeds and display images and videos. These requests make your IP address visible to Instagram, which Instagram may use in accordance with its privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
EXTERNAL CONTENT
Third party content (for example YouTube videos or videos of other providers, Flipsnack and similar) may also be contained on our website. The providers of this content commonly store cookies on the user’s computer. You can prevent this by means of appropriate browser settings, which, however, may mean that this content is not displayed correctly.
In addition, many (third party) providers store the IP address of the users in order to send the content to the user’s browser. Unfortunately, we have no influence on the use of the IP address by the (third party) provider.
Anonymous data evaluation of site visits
User data are collected and stored in anonymous form on the websites of the City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office. For this purpose, so-called “cookies” may be used. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow analysis of your use of the website. However, these collect and save the data exclusively in pseudonymous form. They are not used to identify you personally and are not merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine the appeal of our website and to continually improve its content. Through the use of cookies, webgo can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies. The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by setting the Internet browser used accordingly and thereby permanently deny the use of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that are already set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, all functions of our website may not be fully usable.
USE OF LINKS
On the online pages of the City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office, cross-references (so-called “links”) are made to external Internet sites. These external sites are located on their own domains and external servers and their content is the responsibility of the respective operators. Via cross-references, so-called links, the City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office enables the use of external content in accordance with Section 7 of the Telemedia Act. The City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office is not responsible for this “external” content, but the respective operator of the site. Accessing the linked domain, i.e. the transmission of the information published there is not initiated by the City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office. Likewise, no content is selected or changed by the City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office. The City of Nuremberg’s European Capital of Culture 2025 Bid Office has no influence on who actually accesses the linked external Internet sites. The selected access and linking method does not generate an automatic temporary caching of this “external information” so this does not give rise to any responsibility of the City of Nuremberg’s 2025 European Capital of Culture Bid Office

We can, for instance, see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
Sendinblue also allows us to divide the newsletter recipients into different categories (“clusters”). The newsletter recipients can, for example, be categorized by age, gender, or place of residence. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.
