5) Implementation of Social Media: Videos

Implementation of YouTube videos

This website implements the YouTube embedding feature to show and display videos from the provider “YouTube”, which belongs to Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

This uses the extended privacy mode, which, according to the provider’s information, does not store user information until the video is played back. When embedded YouTube videos are played back, the provider, YouTube, implements cookies in order to gather information about user behaviour. According to YouTube, they are used, amongst other things, to gather video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent improper use. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want this assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before you activate the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. Evaluation of this kind takes place in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit f EU GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in presenting you with personalised advertising, carrying out market research and/or designing its website in order to meet needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles but you must approach YouTube to exercise these rights.

Regardless of whether you start the embedded video or not, every time you open the website a connection will be made to the Google network “DoubleClick“. This can trigger further data processing procedures, over which we have no influence.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European Data Protection Framework “Privacy Shield” which ensures compliance with the level of data protection in force in the EU.

6) Online marketing

Usage of Google AdWords conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme “Google AdWords”, and for this it also uses conversion tracking from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use the service of Google AdWords to make external websites aware of our attractive services through advertisements (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data from the marketing campaigns we can determine how successful the individual marketing measures are. We thus pursue the interest of displaying advertisements that are interesting to you, of making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of marketing expenses.

The cookies for conversion tracking are installed when a user clicks on an AdWords advertisement set by Google. Cookies are small text files that are installed on your computer system. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve purposes of personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google may detect that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was directed to this page. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can thus not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information retrieved with the conversion cookie serves to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their advertisement and were directed to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. Yet they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you may block this usage by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser’s user settings. You are then not included in the conversion tracking statistics. We utilise Google AdWords due to our justified interest in targeted advertising as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which ensures adherence to the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

7) Web analysis services

Google (Universal) Analytics

- Google Universal Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, or text files that are stored on your computer and which allow for an analysis of your usage of the website. The information that the cookies create about your usage of this website (including truncated IP address) is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This website solely uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address through truncation and rules out direct personal identification. Through this extension, your IP address is first truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA before being truncated there. In these exceptional cases this processing occurs as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our justified interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes.
As commissioned by us, Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of the website in order to compile reports on website activities and to render other services associated with website usage and internet usage. Google does not consolidate the IP address transmitted by your browser for Google Analytics with other data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies with a corresponding setting in your browser software; however, please note that in this event you may not be able to make complete use of all functions of this website. Furthermore, you may prevent the documentation of the data created by the cookie and concerning your usage of the website (incl. your IP address) for Google, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:

Any additional processing will only take place if you have agreed with Google that your Google Internet and app browsing history will be linked to your Google Account and information from your Google Account will be used for personalized ads you view on the web.

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps to visually display geographic information. Usage of this service shows your location and makes it easier to find directions.

When visiting such sub-pages in which the Google Maps map has been integrated, information about your usage of our website (e.g. your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and saved there. This occurs regardless of whether Google creates a user account which you are logged into, or if you have no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data are directly allocated to your account. If you do not wish for allocation to your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation occurs as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in particular, on the basis of Google’s justified interest in the integration of personalised advertising, market research and/or a need-based configuration of its website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles which you may assert to Google.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which ensures adherence to the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google for purposes of the usage of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the web service of Google Maps by deactivating the application JavaScript in your browser.
