2.1 Access and Usage of the Website

With each access to the website or its subpages, usage data will be transferred to and saved in server log files. These records contain data such as: date and time of the access, name of the accessed subpage, IP address, referrer-URL, transferred amount of data, and product information of the used browser. Lawfulness of processing results in our legitimate interests as laid down in art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f GDPR. The mentioned data is needed for you to enable access and usage of the website. These are inevitably needed when using telemedia. The log files are anonymously evaluated by G&G, in order to improve the website, to create a more user-friendly design, to locate errors, to remedy defects, and to control server capacity. Thus, G&G is, for instance, able to understand, at what times the website’s usage is favored; therefore, G&G could provide an increased amount of data volume. Lawfulness of processing results in our legitimate interests as laid down in art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Evaluation of log files serves optimization processes and ensures secured processing.
