Data Protection at a Glance

We attach great importance to the protection of your personal data. For this reason, we attempt to store as little as possible on this page.

Summary: We use no tracking cookies, no Google Analytics, and do not directly embed third-party resources (such as Google Fonts) that could forward your IP address.

1. Data Collection on our Website (dkon.ch)

Server Log Files

When you visit this website, access data is stored in server log files for a maximum of 7 days. The information collected includes the browser type, the operating system used, the referrer URL, the host name of the accessing computer, the date and time of the server request, and the IP address.

To protect your privacy, the IP address is stored anonymously by deleting the last octet (for IPv4) or the rear segments (for IPv6). As a result, this data can no longer be associated with a specific individual.

3. Links to External Websites

For third-party websites to which the Digikon website refers and links, no liability is assumed for compliance with data protection regulations.
