For statistical analysis of our web site we collect and analyse some information in permanently anonymous form (this information is further defined under the section “Collected Information”).

Collected Information

b) IP Address 

 

The IP address is transmitted every time a user enters a request to the server. This enables the server to send a reply to the request back to the client. Your IP address is allocated to you by your Internet Service Provider as soon as you connect to the internet. Your Internet Service Provider may be able to track the IP address back to the allocated user for a defined time frame. As long as the IP Address is stored it is theoretically possible to identify the owner of an IP Address. Therefore this information is not stored by us but by our web-analytics provider and is used solely to route the server request properly and in order to prevent possible cyber-attacks. The IP address may be used in liaison with other order-information to detect users who repeatedly place fake orders. The IP address assigned to an order for this purpose is not used nor processed for marketing nor any other purposes.
