However, the data acquired in this way are strictly anonymised and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn regarding the Personal Data of the user or the identity of the user.

Log files

With every page you view, access data is stored in a log file. The data set saved contains the following data:

� Your IP address,

� the remote host (the name and IP address of the computer requesting the page),

� the time, status, volume of data transferred and the website from which you came to the requested page (referrer), as well as

� the product and version information of the browser used (user agent).

Ypsomed uses the standardised log file format of the web server for this purpose. Ypsomed uses the log data (logs) in an anonymised form, i.e. without assignment or references to your person, for statistical analysis. Ypsomed may thus, for example, find out on which days and at which times the offers of mylife online version are particularly popular and what data volume is generated on the Ypsomed websites. Moreover, Ypsomed may recognise possible errors thanks to the log files, e.g. faulty links or bugs, and thus use the log files to further develop the mylife online version websites. Ypsomed does not associate the page views and uses stored in the server log with individuals. Ypsomed reserves the right, however, to subsequently check the log files via the last known IP address of such users who, on the basis of certain facts, are suspected of using the mylife online version of websites and/or the mylife services illegally or contrary to applicable terms and conditions. This serves the protection of mylife members, the security of Ypsomed member data, as well as the Ypsomed websites and mylife services.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser appropriately. When a corresponding browser setting is used, cookies will not be saved. This may mean, however, that not all features of the Ypsomed Software online version can be used.
