General Questions/New to Joomla! 5.x • How do I permanently replace J5-favicon(s) by my self-made favicon(s)?

Hello,
I have noticed that, after I installed Joomla updates, my self-made Organisation-favicons (.ico and .svg) are replaced by Joomla's favicons (in the frontend for live visitors).
Afterwards, I (in the role of technical administrator: webserver paths, FTP) have to put back my own favicons in the website.
Is there a way that I (in the role of functional administrator: Joomla backend) can use a built-in Joomla function to place my Organisation-favicon in, for example, the Media-folder permanently, so they show up in visitor's webbrowser etc.?

Two strategies:
A. In the role of TECHNICAL administrator:
1. In which specific web-folder can I best place the Organisation-favicons?
For example:
.../media/templates/site/cassiopeia/images/favicon.ico
or in:
.../media/system/images/favicon.ico
or in:
.../favicon.ico
What is the correct path, or should I store the favicon in several site-folders?

2. Should I replace all Joomla-favicons in every folder where I encounter these favicons from Joomla5 update)?
Or can they co-exist in certain folders?

3.a) How many (kinds of) favicons should I use? Which favicons should I use (to replace later on by my own images with identical name):
favicon.ico
favicon.svg
joomla-favicon.svg
favicon-pinned.svg
joomla-favicon-pinned.svg
b) Where can I store these favicons, in order to keep them permanently visible in Live site for Internet surfers?

B. In the role of FUNCTIONAL administrator:
1. Is there a built-in Joomla-function in Joomla-backend, where I can put code in the HTML-head on a global level (for every page)?
For example, the HTML-code:
<link href="/media/system/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />
or
<link href="/media/system/images/joomla-favicon.svg" rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml">
(With an XML description-file?)

2. Which free Backend-extension do you recommend:
a) To position the <link href=... rel="shortcut icon"...> in the HEAD of every Joomla page permanently?
b) To stamp any HTML-tag in the HEAD of every webpage of the Joomla-site?

Friendly regards,
Sthop
