  • What is a log file?

    On visiting our website each request is logged in a file. This enables us to analyse visiting patterns and the reconstruction of errors.

  • The following features are stored in the log file:

    • IP address: Read our page on IP addresses
    • Domain: In simple terms, this is the domain that you see at the top of the browser line.
    • Port: An internal number under which our web server can be reached. Port 80 is the standard for the WWW.

    • Response time
    • Connection aborted: Indicates whether the connection was aborted.
    • Encrypted session ID: We use an encrypted session ID to assign individual page views to a unique but no longer identifiable user. This allows us to analyse click paths and reconstruct errors without having to store personal data. This session ID replaces the IP address that is normally logged. This allows us to achieve a higher level of data protection than usual.
    • Name of the internal server that was responsible for processing.
    • Date and time
    • Browser request
    • HTTP status code: Indicates, for example, whether the page was loaded successfully or whether an error occurred during processing.
    • Number of bytes
    • HTTP referrer: The referrer is sent by the browser and refers to the page that the user last visited. This allows click paths to be reconstructed.
    • Browser identification: See our page on browser identification

  • The logfiles will be finally deleted after 6 weeks.
