In German law every website has to have an imprint clearly stating the owner and their contact information. This is nothing I really worry about since I have already created it.
But my question is what decides which countries' laws apply to my website?
My website is running on a root server in Canada, I am German citizen, I will be using a .tk (New Zealand) domain, and the website is designed for an international audience.
I am pretty sure the domain doesn't matter at all. So which countries' laws apply to my website? If it is the Canadian law, then what do I have to do in order to stay legal?

Some of the laws of Canada, Germany, and New Zealand would apply to your situation.
If a German sued you in German court about your website, the court could summon you.
If a Canadian sued you in Canadian court, the Canadian court could seize your servers
If a New Zealander sued you in New Zealand court, the New Zealand court could seize your domain name.
If the files are hosted physically in Canada it falls under Canadian law. Where visitors access the website from doesn't matter.
