The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website. Consent is not required for the use of these cookies, as they do not serve tracking or marketing purposes.

Each time our website is accessed, the web server automatically records information from the device used. The following data are collected:
