This website uses so-called “cookies”, which serve to make our internet presence more user-friendly and more effective – for instance when it comes to making navigation on our website faster.

Cookies are small text files, which are saved on your computer. We would like to point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your system, whereby it is mostly a matter of so-called “session cookies”. They are characterised by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your computer during your next visit (so-called permanent cookies).

1.1 Technically required first-party cookies requiring consent

Cookies that from a purely legal definition are not absolutely necessary to use the website play an important role. Features that enable convenient browsing of our website, e.g. pre-filled forms, would be impossible without these cookies. Without them, your settings cannot be saved – such as your language selection, for example – and would therefore have to be answered for each page individually, and we would no longer be able to submit tailored offers to you.

1.2 Embedded YouTube videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding feature to display and play videos of the provider YouTube. The sites are operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

The extended data protection mode is used for embedding which, according to the provider, only triggers the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played. When embedded YouTube videos are started, the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to YouTube, these cookies are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent misuse.

In addition, we use a 2-click solution to prevent a direct connection to the Google network “DoubleClick” whenever this website is accessed. This connection is then only able to trigger further data processing action without our influence when you play a video.

When you are logged into your YouTube account you make it possible for YouTube to allocate your surfing behaviour to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out from your YouTube account.

For more information on data protection by YouTube please refer to the privacy statement of the provider.

Data processing is done on the basis of your consent (Art. 6, par. 1 (a) GDPR). You can withdraw such consent any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
