YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

The built-in tool does not use cookies or other tracking methods and does not create user profiles or usage profiles. Only anonymized data will be stored which do not allow any conclusion to a specific user. The shortened IP address is only used for country-level geolocation and is not saved.

Navigation data processed with Matomo  

Our website is using Matomo, an open-source software tool owned by InnoCraft that helps website owners to measure how users interact with website content. Matomo gives us the ability to track visitor interactions by using first-party cookies that can record information about the time and the page a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, and “remember” what a user has done on previous pages and the “cache memory” of the pages or websites the user has seen or interacted with. Matomo tracks and traces the website visitors’ IP addresses to identify the visitors based on the geographical location they provided. Matomo does not collect any personal information about the website users as it reports website trends.
