Hi,
Had a small fall while riding (all is well) and thankfully bike is alright except a small paint chip in the back. Any advice on how to take care of it? Also, any keen eyes can tell me if it's purely cosmetic? Thank you in advance.

Pretty sure it’s just cosmetic. You can use nail polish to cover it.
Nobody can tell you for sure that it’s just cosmetic, as we do not have x-ray vision. Take out the axle and check inside the drop out for any visible cracking/damage.
If it were my bike, I’d sand that spot very lightly with a very fine grit sand paper, touch it up as best as I could and be done with it.
Canyon sells paint touch up pens. Use a really fine sanding pad on the area, degrease and then apply paint.
