Each time you access my website, usage data is transmitted to me or my web host / IT service provider by your Internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO from our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring trouble-free operation of my website and to improve my offer.
