General information on the intended purpose and the legal basis
All data processing is covered by the principle of necessity and the linking of information to specific aims. It is also covered by the principles of data minimization and the protection of data in accordance with the relevant state of the art.
Universit?t Regensburg only collects the amount of data necessary for fulfilling the task in question, uses it only for this purpose and saves it only for so long as the relevant laws allow.

We use the sessionStorage mechanism from the DOM storage standard to enable returning to a page with an expanded menu.
