Among other things, the following data is collected from you: IP address, time spent on the website, language, location and the browser you use. The analysis here is done by means of an algorithm (machine learning) that measures and analyzes your user behavior based on the data collected and can recognize it on other devices you use.

We have integrated Youtube videos (operator of the service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) via a so-called iframe.

This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time, and the website you visited.
