§ 7 Integration of YouTube videos
(1) Our website contains embedded YouTube videos, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our web pages. These videos are all embedded using “enhanced privacy mode”, which means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos.

YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website as required. An evaluation of this kind is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of serving tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles – you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
(3) The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent, which is granted via the cookie banner or when you play the video. You can revoke your consent at any time with lasting effect by changing the settings in our cookie banner. In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC., which is based in the USA, we have concluded standard EU contractual clauses with Google.

If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your activity to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website as required. An evaluation of this kind is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of serving tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

§ 9 Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on your computer, to help Google analyze how users use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymization is enabled on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the website operator.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
(3) You can disable cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that by doing so you may not be able to use all features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google – and the processing of this data by Google – by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, which means that they cannot be traced back to a specific person. To the extent that the data collected about you is personalized, this data will therefore be immediately excluded and your personal data thus immediately deleted.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics thus obtained enable us to improve our website and make it more appealing to you as a user. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR as well as your consent granted via the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent at any time with lasting effect by changing the settings in our cookie banner. In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC., which is based in the USA, we have concluded standard EU contractual clauses with Google.

(1) Subject to your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which contains information about our current offers that may be of interest to you. The advertised goods and services are named in the consent form.

This means that, after you have registered, we will send an email to the email address you provided asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and then automatically deleted after one month. In addition, in each case we will store your IP address and the time of your registration and confirmation. The purpose of this process is to enable us to prove that you have registered and, if necessary, to investigate any possible misuse of your personal data.
(3) Your email address is the only mandatory information that we require in order to send you the newsletter. The submission of other data is voluntary and enables us to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will store your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) p. 1 a) GDPR.
(4) You can revoke your consent to receiving the newsletter – and unsubscribe from the newsletter – at any time.

(5) We wish to point out that we analyze your user behavior with regard to the newsletter. For this purpose, the newsletter emails that we send contain so-called tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website.
