  • The subpages, which are accessed from the called up website
  • The time spent on the website
  • The frequency of calls of the website

The software is set so that the IP addresses are not saved completely, but the last octet of the IP address is masked (e.g.: 192.168.79.***).

In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer or terminal device of the user.
