Every time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted by the respective Internet browser and stored in log files, the so-called server log files. The data records stored in this process contain the following data: Date and time of access, name of the page accessed, IP address, referrer URL (the URL from which you came to the website), the amount of data transferred, as well as product and version information of the browser used.

The IP addresses of users are deleted or made anonymous after the end of use.

For example, it is possible to track at which time the use of this site is particularly popular and provide the corresponding data volume to ensure a satisfactory service. In addition, we can also identify and correct any errors more quickly by analyzing the log files.

The data of the server log files are stored separately from all collected data. Subject to any legal retention obligations, we delete our server log files after 5 weeks.
