Cookies

We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device and can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.

We use the web analysis tool “Google Analytics” to design our website according to your needs. Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms.

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed videos on our websites via the third-party provider YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, which are not stored on our servers.

The third-party provider does not receive any information as a result. Content from the third-party provider is only reloaded after you click on the preview image. This gives the third-party provider the information that you have accessed our site and the usage data that is technically required in this context. We have no influence on further data processing by the third party. By clicking on the preview image, you give us your consent to reload third-party content. The embedding takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, provided that you have given your consent by clicking on the preview image.
