We use social plugins from YouTube LLC (901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; hereinafter "YouTube"), a subsidiary of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), on our website. to make our company better known.
The plugins are marked with a YouTube logo, for example in the form of a "YouTube camera" or a "Play" button.
We integrate these plug-ins using the so-called two-click method and the Youtube nocookie settingsto protect visitors to our website in the best possible way.

Rather, you must first activate the integrated "buttons" and videos by clicking on them. With this click you agree that a connection to the YouTube servers will be established. The transmitted data is reduced by the YouTube no-cookie settings.
This integration gives YouTube the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a YouTube profile or are not currently logged in to YouTube.
This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a YouTube server in the USA and stored there.

(3) Google DoubleClick
This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter: "Google"). Google is our processor in this context.
DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are placed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to go to the advertiser's website and buy something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool. By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.
When using DoubleClick, your data may be transferred to the USA. We have therefore concluded the EU's standard contractual clauses with Google.
