I’m downloading logs from a Strato webspace. Their management interface produces the following note:
“For data protection reasons, the host name or IP address of the client accessing the website is anonymized in the log files.”
Ok, good to know. Looking into the downloaded logs:
anon-66-249-71-47.googlebot.com
Yes, the famous “prepend anon to IP address/host name” anonymization. Definitely GDPR compliant. /s
