Data processed for technical delivery

To deliver a website, your device transmits information including its IP address, request time and the requested resource. An IP address can be personal data even without a plain-text name. The public Orthevs site does not connect this information to a name, user account or analytics identifier.

Regular access logging is disabled for the public web host. Technically necessary error or security events within the delivery infrastructure may temporarily contain connection metadata; it is not used for analytics, advertising or profiling.

Cookies and local storage

No marketing or analytics cookies are used. The website uses only the following first-party functions:

orthevs_language

stores an explicitly selected language for twelve months; SameSite=Lax, Secure over HTTPS and inaccessible to JavaScript.

orthevs_privacy_preferences

stores only the value “essential” or “pwa” for 180 days; SameSite=Lax and Secure over HTTPS.

Web app cache

is created only after explicit activation and stores public pages, styles and graphics for offline use. You can withdraw this choice at any time.

Why Orthevs is available as a PWA

The Progressive Web App (PWA) combines the public website with features commonly associated with installed applications. It is delivered from the same web application, requires no separate app store and can – where supported by the browser and operating system – be installed directly and launched in its own window.

Direct access

The installed website can be opened from its own icon and feels like a standalone application in everyday use.

One shared application

The website and PWA use the same public content and functions, so no separate app or additional app-store distribution is required.

More resilient connectivity

Cached public content can load faster on repeat visits and remains partly available when the connection is unstable or temporarily unavailable.

Optional and controllable

The service worker and its browser cache are set up only after explicit activation. Orthevs removes both when the choice is withdrawn.

Offline operation: today and the target state

After explicit activation, Orthevs stores the public application shell, central overview pages, styles, graphics and visited public pages in the browser cache. Previously cached content therefore remains available without a connection. The PWA will be expanded step by step into a coherent, navigable offline version of the public website. Content that requires current server data will remain online-dependent and is intended to be identified as such.

Purposes and legal bases

Technically necessary processing serves the secure delivery of the requested website and selected language on the basis of legitimate interests. Optional web app and offline storage are activated only with your consent.

No monetisation of usage data

Orthevs does not disclose data to advertising networks, tracking providers or data brokers. Processing within technically required hosting and network infrastructure occurs only where necessary for delivery and security.

Privacy enquiries

Because the public website maintains no accounts or usage profiles, enquiries can relate only to data that can actually be attributed within the technical delivery infrastructure.
