This information does not allow any conclusions to your person, but for technical reasons, it is indispensable for the delivery and presentation of our content. Furthermore, they serve our statistics and the constant optimization of our content. Typical log files are the date and time of access, the amount of data, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of the provider you have requested, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL) and your IP address. Log files also allow an accurate examination in case of suspected illegal use of our website.
