Functionality

This website uses the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from Youtube. We use the extended data protection mode, which, according to provider specifications, only starts storing user information when the video is played. At the moment the playback of the embedded video starts, Youtube uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from YouTube, these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive practices.

Independent of a playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network "DoubleClick" is established each time this website is accessed, which can trigger further data processing procedures without our influence.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the provider's data protection declaration at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" from Google LLC on our website. (1600 Amphi-theatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). In this context we use the applications offered by Google Ads, namely conversion tracking. For the European Economic Area and Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the data controller.

In conversion tracking, your data is processed in such a way that when you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our site and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked on the sites of ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you may refuse the use of cookies by changing your browser setting to decline cookies. You can also disable cookies for Conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the "googleadservices.com" domain. For more information about Google's privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/?hl=en. Users may also opt-out of all or part of Google ads at www.google.com/settings/ads. 

Google Lead Forms is an application of Google Ads that enables us to display ads in the search results of the Google search engine. The user is requested to enter his data. The entered data is forwarded to us by Google.

Your data may be transferred to the USA. Google has committed itself according to the "SCC" (standard contract clauses) to comply with the European data protection guidelines. The data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing that has been carried out on the basis of your consent until revocation.
