Cookies

Websites partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our offers more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files which get saved on your computer and stored by your browser. Through the use of cookies we collect and process certain user information from you in the respective individual extent of the text files such as browser details, location data and IP address. Most of the cookies used by us are so-called “session-cookies”. They will be deleted automatically after the end of your visit. Other cookies stay on your terminal device until you delete them. Those cookies enable us to recognise your browser at your next visit. You can adjust your browser so that you will be informed about the placement of cookies as well as accept them only in individual cases, refuse them in certain cases or at all times or activate the feature of automatic deletion when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated the functionality of this website may be limited.

YouTube videos

On our website we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the respective plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. Normally your IP address will be sent to YouTube when opening a page with embedded videos and cookies will be installed on your computer. However, we have integrated our YouTube videos with the extended data protection mode (in this case You Tube still establishes contact with Google’s service Double Klick, yet according to Google’s data protection statement personal data will not be analysed). Thus information about the visitors will not be stored by You Tube unless they watch the video. If you click on the video your IP address will be forwarded to YouTube and YouTube finds out that you have watched the video. If you are logged into YouTube this information gets assigned to your user account (you can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before watching the videos). We have no knowledge of and no influence on the possible collection and use of your data by You Tube.

Generally the storing of cookies for the Google ad programme can be deactivated (this is possible via the following link: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=de), however You Tube also places non-personal user information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this you must block the storing of cookies in your browser.

Further information about You Tube’s data protection can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
