If you click on one of these links, the YouTube plugins are activated and your browser connects directly to YouTube's servers. When visiting our website, if you click a link and are logged in to your personal YouTube user account, YouTube is informed that you visited our website. YouTube can associate your visit to our website with your account.
This information is transmitted to and saved by YouTube. If you want to prevent this, you must log out of your YouTube account before clicking the link.

YouTube uses them for a range of purposes, among others to acquire video statistics, prevent fraud, and improve user-friendliness. This also establishes a connection with the Google DoubleClick network. Clicking to play a video may trigger further data processing procedures, over which we have no influence.

15 Integration of Third Party Services
It is possible that third party content will be integrated from other websites within this website, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, Google Web Fonts, RSS feeds, or graphics. This always presupposes that the providers of such content (hereinafter referred to as the "third-party provider") detect the IP address of the user, because without the IP address, they cannot send the content to the browser of each user. The IP address is therefore necessary to present this content. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP addresses solely to deliver the content, however we have no control over whether the third-party providers save the IP addresses for statistical purposes, for example. We inform users about this insofar as this is known to us.
We are always careful that the European standard for data protection is maintained in order to effectively protect your data.
