These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh our interests, in a correct presentation of our offer. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.
