6. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The provider of these pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch a video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. Regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, once a YouTube video is started, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information about YouTube’s privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
