Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that are saved on your computer and which allow for an analysis of your use of the website. The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it will be stored. In case IP address anonymization has been activated on this website, Google shortens your IP address within the member states of the European Union or within other contract states of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA, where it will be shortened. The IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data by Google. On behalf of the owner of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create a report on the website activities, and to provide the owner of the website with further services relating to the use of the website and the Internet.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is S. 15 Par. 3 TMG (Telemediengesetz, German Telemedia Act) and Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR.

YouTube

This online offer features contents of Google (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) – YouTube.

This always requires that the providers of these contents can see the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the contents to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is a requirement in order for the contents to be displayed. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on whether the third party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform the users about this. Google can associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile if you are logged on with your YouTube account. You can avoid this by logging out beforehand. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Par. 1f GDPR. The legitimate interest is the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer.
