  The web server’s log books are evaluated. The Museums of the City of Linz are unable to link these data to any specific personages. No interlinkage with other data sources takes place.
• Google Analytics:
  In addition to this internal evaluation, www.valieexportcenter.at makes use of Google Analytics. Internet technology and the possibilities of IT applications are subject to rapid change. Google’s online tool can be relied on to represent the cutting edge of technology. It is therefore used as an additional source of information, e.g. to take the use of mobile devices into account.

• The IP addresses of the visitors of www.valieexportcenter.at are transmitted to Google Analytics in anonymised form.
