This information (server log files) contains details about the type of web browser, operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address and similar things. This is purely information that is not identifiable to your person.

It will be used for the following purposes, in particular:

  • Ensuring problem-free access to our website,
  • Ensuring problem-free use of our website,

Recipients:
Recipients of the data may be, as the case may be, technical service providers that are active in the operation and maintenance of our website as a data processor.
Storage period:
Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose it was collected for. This is essentially the case for the data that serves to provide the website when the particular session is ended.
Provision prescribed or required:
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually prescribed. However, without an IP address, the service and the functionality of our website is not guaranteed. In addition, individual services may be unavailable or restricted. For this reason, it is not possible to object to this use of data.




Cookies


Type and purpose of data processing:
Like many other websites, we use so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. We therefore automatically obtain certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the internet.
Cookies cannot be used to start programmes or transmit viruses to a computer. On the basis of the information contained in cookies, we can make it easier for you to navigate our web pages and enable the correct display of them.
We will absolutely never pass the data collected by us to third parties, or link this to personal data without your consent.

Use of Google Analytics


This website uses the Google Analytics service, which is provided by Google Inc.

Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transferred to the United States to a Google server unabridged and shortened there. This shortening removes the personal reference contained in your IP address. The IP address sent by the browser of the user will not be combined with other data stored by Google.
Under the commissioned data processing agreement we have signed with Google Inc. as a website operator, it uses the data collected to make an evaluation of the use of the website and website activity and generates services connected to internet use.
The data collected on our behalf by Google is used to evaluate the use of our website by individual users, such as to create reports on the activity on the site, in order to improve our online services.
