§ 7 USE OF YOUTUBE

This website uses the Youtube embedding feature to watch and play videos from Youtube. We use the advanced privacy mode, which, according to the vendor, does not start storing user information until the video plays. The moment the embedded video begins playing, Youtube uses cookies to gather information about user behavior.

According to Youtube, this includes capturing video statistics, improving usability, and preventing abusive practices.

Regardless of how the embedded video plays, each visit to this site will connect to the DoubleClick Google Network, potentially causing further data processing without our having any influence over it.

§ USE OF VIMEO

This website uses the provider Vimeo for the integration of videos. If you call up the Internet pages of our website with such a plug-in, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established and the plug-in is displayed. This will tell the Vimeo server which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. When using the plugin, e.g. clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the relevant Vimeo cookies. Further information on data processing and information on data protection by Vimeo can be found at https://vimeo.com/privacy.
