Logs are text files containing some information about web visitors, such as user agents (showing for instance that you're connecting from Firefox for Android) and ip addresses (which reveal your approximate location).

Logs that are kept for a time "consistent with applicable law" also fall under this case, since this period of time may be murky or undefined.
