- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access

We utilize Matomo, an open-source software for the analysis and statistical evaluation of website usage.

We use the iAble plugin to enhance accessibility. Within this framework, no personal data is stored without your interaction. Should certain functions be activated, processing may occur based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
