PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOG FILES

We use the open source tool Matomo for web analysis on the Internet. Unlike other widely used web analytics tools such as Google Analytics, this data is not stored on the service provider's web servers in third countries, where it would be beyond our control. We use this data for statistical purposes and to analyze, further develop and improve internet usage. The following data is collected in this context:
// IP address
// Name of the retrieved file
// Date and time of retrieval
// Data volume transferred
// Message whether the retrieval was successful
// Message why a retrieval has failed, if applicable
// Operating system and browser software of your device
// Website from which you visit us
