Sometimes, when you use the MERZ GMBH Website, information is collected automatically (i.e. instead of being entered manually by you, e.g. during registration). Such information is general and not personal (e.g. used Internet browser, number of visits, average duration of stay, called pages). MERZ GMBH uses this information to determine the appeal of our Website and to improve its content and functions accordingly.
