4. Other traffic information

Local storage technology allows us to use the website efficiently and is used to save data that was saved during the use of the website in a separate part of the browser's memory, after it is turned off. Only the website whose data is saved in the browser can access the data in the local storage.

Using the website implies sending a query to the server where the website is stored. Every query sent to the server is saved in the server logs. Logs include IP address, date and time, web browser and operating system information. The logs are saved and stored on the server. Data stored in server logs are not connected to individual users who use the website and were not used for identification purposes. Server logs are auxiliary material used to manage the website and their content is not disclosed to anyone except persons authorized to manage the server.
