IP address, Date and time, Name and URL of the accessed file, Website from which access is made (referrer URL), Browser used and, if applicable, your computer’s operating system as well as the name of your access provider.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The log data is analyzed solely for statistical purposes and only in pseudonymized form.

Information related to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity as a result.
