Server log files
The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits automatically: the page accessed, date and time, volume of data transferred, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources and serves technical provision and security.
4. Fonts (Google Fonts)
This site uses web fonts from Google Fonts, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, for consistent typography. When a page is loaded, your browser downloads the required fonts from Google servers. This transmits your IP address to Google and may involve a transfer to the USA. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. More information: policies.google.com/privacy.
5. Map display (OpenStreetMap / Leaflet)
The interactive world map of endangered World Heritage sites uses the Leaflet library together with map material from OpenStreetMap. The map tiles are loaded from servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom, which transmits your IP address. The Leaflet library is delivered via the unpkg content delivery network (Cloudflare), which likewise transmits your IP address. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
