For this purpose, it is necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer in order to be able to react as early as possible to display errors, attacks on our IT systems and/or errors in the functionality of our website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to generally ensure the security of our IT systems.

Duration of storage

The aforementioned technical data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to ensure the compatibility of the website for all visitors, but at the latest after the end of the respective session.

Objection and deletion options

You can object to the processing at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR and request the erasure of data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR. You can find out what rights you are entitled to and how to exercise them at the bottom of this privacy policy.
