Use of cookies and comparable technical processes
The Munich Oktoberfest website of the City of Munich uses so-called ‘cookies’ and similar technical processes in which an identifier is transmitted to your device (computer, smartphone, etc.).
This automatically provides us with certain data about your computer and your connection to the Internet, such as IP address, browser used and operating system. We also record your visit history, i.e. the pages of our website that you visit, including the order, date and time. During your visits, we sometimes use JavaScript to collect and analyse further data, including the time it takes to load a page, whether it is downloaded in full or not, the duration of the visit to a detailed page, data on interaction between pages (e.g. scrolling, clicking, mouse-overs) and on leaving the page.
With the help of these processes, we can analyse how our websites are used in order to optimise our offers overall and to personalise the content specifically for you, e.g. to recognise you as a repeat visitor to our website. In addition, these processes enable you as a user of personalised services not to have to register each time.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
- IP address
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- referrer URL

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons without further ado. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
