Google saves your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its websites. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google").

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Social Plugins

Our website uses social plugins from the providers listed below. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

These plugins may send information, which may also include personal data, to the service provider and may be used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider using a 2-click solution. In order to activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only by activating the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves using the social plugins or through their use.

We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how this data is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information is collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:
