We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans, or other malware.
Information that is related to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we thereby directly learn your identity.
The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make using our services more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness; these are stored on your device for a specific period of time.
If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offering for you (see Section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

The data processed by cookies is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

When you watch the video, YouTube receives this information and assigns it to your YouTube account if you are logged in. You can log out of your YouTube account before watching the video to prevent this.
According to YouTube, in "- enhanced data protection mode -" only data is transmitted to the YouTube server, in particular which of our websites you visited when watching the video.
