Type and purpose of processing:  
When you access our website—i.e., when you do not register or otherwise transmit information—general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address, and similar data.

This information is processed in particular for the following purposes:
