  • websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
  • status code of the call
  • HTTP protocol version
  • data size when calling the resource.

This processing is technically necessary in order to display our website. We also use the data to ensure the security and stability of our website. The IP addresses are stored for a maximum of seven days to detect and defend against attacks and are then anonymised or deleted.

We also use cookies on our website, which enable an analysis of surfing behaviour of users (see web analysis by Matomo).

However, the protection of your data is important to us! Therefore, we have configured all cookies in such a way that only a session ID is stored, which is automatically deleted after 31 days.

c. Web analysis by Matomo

For statistical analysis SAFIA Technologies GmbH uses "Matomo" (formerly "PIWIK") on this website. This is an open source tool for web analysis. With Matomo, no data is transferred to servers that are outside the control of SAFIA Technologies GmbH. The software uses cookies (for cookies see above).

To protect your data, we have additionally configured Matomo in a way that your IP address is only recorded in abbreviated form. Hence, we process your personal user data anonymously.
