Plugins

_Plugins

We offer the use of plugins from various social and other networks on our website.
Plugins represent extensions of the providers of the social networks. We therefore have no influence on the further processing of the data collected and stored via the plugins by the providers of the respective networks.
For information on the purpose and scope of the collection, further processing and deletion of the data by the respective provider, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective provider.
We use plugins from the following providers listed below:

_{2-Click-Solution}

_{Plugins are inactive by default.}

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the page by means of a "2-click solution". With this 2-click solution, we protect you from having your visit to our websites recorded by default and possibly evaluated by providers of the respective plugin.
If you do not want the providers of the respective networks to receive data about your use of this website and possibly store or further use it, you should not activate the respective plugins.

_{Activating the plugin}

You can decide for yourself whether you want to interact with the network of the respective provider and whether your data should be transmitted to the respective provider or not. Only with your click on the provided button, the plugins are activated and integrated into the page by transmitting the content of the respective plugin from the server of the associated provider directly to your browser. Subsequently, you can perform the desired interaction with the network with another click. If you decide to activate a plugin, we process your data based on your consent.

_{Collection of data by the providers}

When a plugin is activated, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider.
Through this, the respective provider receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website; even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in to it.
If you already have a user account with a provider of a network and you are already logged in while visiting our websites, the operator of the respective network may be able to assign the visit to your personal user account as soon as you activate the plugins. This may enable the provider to analyze your usage behavior and store it in a profile.
In addition, your IP address and other data about your browser settings are transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there.

_{Deactivating the plugin}

If you no longer wish to use an activated plugin, you can also deactivate the plugin using the button provided. Please note that data already transmitted will not be affected by this.

^YouTube

This website uses videos from the video platform YouTube. YouTube is a platform that enables the playback of video files. It is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and its parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the YouTube content is integrated into the page in "privacy enhanced mode".
This way, a connection to YouTube, including a transmission of log data to YouTube, is only established when you perform an interaction with the player.
When you interact with the active YouTube player, data is also transmitted to YouTube as controller and contact is made with the Google DoubleClick advertising network, which may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.
For more information, please see YouTube's privacy policy.
