Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Google services
Our website uses various services of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), in the context of which personal data may be transmitted to Google. The setting of cookies by Google Analytics, Ads, and Optimize, and the corresponding processing by Google are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on our website as well as in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offer and our advertising. If the corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, in which we oblige it to protect our customers’ data and not to pass them on to third parties.
The collected data can also be transferred to the USA and other third countries according to Google’s statement. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
The terms of use of Google and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ and under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. Deletion of data at the user and event level, linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs, takes place no later than 14 months after their collection.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, which uses so-called cookies to collect data on website usage. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our website on our behalf and to compile reports on website activities. Google may also use this information to provide the website operator with other services related to the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization, meaning your IP address will only be processed by Google in a shortened form.
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It only serves to manage and play out the tools integrated via it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which can also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.
Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. Assigning the data to a specific person is not possible. You can deactivate this function at any time. This can be done via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics as explained in the item “Objection to data collection”.
YouTube
For the integration and display of video content, our website uses plugins from YouTube. The video portal’s provider is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
We use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by YouTube. When you visit a page with an embedded YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. YouTube is informed about which specific subpage of our website you have visited. According to YouTube’s statements, your data – especially device-specific information, including the IP address – is only transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA when you actively click on the video. YouTube can directly assign your surfing behavior to your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.
The collected data can also be transferred to the USA and other third countries according to YouTube’s statement. YouTube is a 100% subsidiary of Google LLC. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
For details on handling user data, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
