  • URL from which the file was requested/the function was initiated
  • browser identifier

Purpose of logging

Recorded data is used to identify and track illegal access and access attempts to the web server and to create anonymised access statistics for web content optimisation. No user profiles are created.

Data communication security

When you send us an email, your email address will only be used for correspondence with you.
