According to information from “YouTube”, these serve, among other things, to record video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent abusive actions. 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 wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
Regardless of the 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 operations without our influence.

We have no influence on these processing measures.
Detailed information about data processing in connection with the use of our analysis tools, social media offers, possibilities of objection and the assertion of rights of information can be obtained via the data protection declaration of the corresponding platform operator.
