4. Plugins and tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy protection
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website. Operators of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this site before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the sharing of data with YouTube’s partners. So, regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network.

If you click on a YouTube video on our website, you will be connected to YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server is then informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you are allowing YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

In addition, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can receive information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. These cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

Where applicable, after a YouTube video is launched, additional data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.

YouTube is used in the interests of making our online presence more attractive. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Facebook
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").   The plugins enable the display of interactive elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and are identifiable by a Facebook logo (white “f” on a blue tile, the term “Like” or a “thumbs up” symbol)m or are marked with the phrase “Facebook Social Plugin”.

When you visit a page on this website which contains a plugin of this type, your browser is connected directly to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device, which integrates it into the online offer. User profiles can thereby be generated from processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and thus inform users according to our level of knowledge.

By incorporating plugins, Facebook receives information that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can associate your visit with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example using the “like” button or by posting a comment, the corresponding information will also be sent immediately to the supplier’s server and saved there. If you are not a Facebook member, there is still a possibility that Facebook may retrieve and store your IP address.
