Google AdSense (non-customized)
This website uses Google AdSense, an ad insertion service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use Google AdSense in “non-personalized” mode. Unlike in personalized mode, ads are not based on your past usage patterns and the service does not generate a user profile for you.

The ads selected are based on, for example, your location, the content of the website you are currently visiting or the search terms you are using. To learn more about the differences between Google AdSense custom targeting and non-personalized targeting, click the following link: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336.
Please note that even the use of Google Adsense non-customized mode involves the possible filing of cookies. According to Google, these cookies are used to combat fraud and misuse. These cookies will remain on your device until you delete them.
The use of Google Adsense in non-personalized mode is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDRP. We have a justified interest in analyzing user patterns in order to be able to optimize both the presentation of our website and our promotional activities. If a corresponding agreement has been requested (e.g. an agreement for the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR; the agreement can be revoked at any time.
Google is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The Privacy Shield agreement was executed between the European Union and the United States with the aim of ensuring that European data protection standards are met in relation to data processing in the United States.

6. Newsletter
Newsletter details
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We will use such data only for the purpose of sending the requested information and will not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter subscription form will be carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR).

7. Plug-ins and tools
YouTube with extended data protection integration
Our website incorporates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in the extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, this does not necessarily mean that data exchange with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the extended data protection mode. For example, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start playing a YouTube video on this website, a connection will be established with YouTube’s servers. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account while visiting our site, you allow YouTube to directly assign your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
In addition, after you have started playing a video, YouTube may place various cookies on your device. With the help of these cookies, YouTube will be able to obtain information about visitors to our website. Among other things, this information will be used to generate video statistics in order to improve the usability of the site and to prevent fraud attempts. These cookies will remain on your device until you delete them.
In certain circumstances, additional data processing operations may be triggered after you have started playing a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.
The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an attractive way. According to Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If a corresponding agreement has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. a GDPR; the agreement can be revoked at any time.
For more information on how YouTube handles user data, please refer to YouTube’s Data Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
8. Online marketing and partner programs
Amazon Partner Program
The operators of this website participate in Amazon’s EU Partner Program. Amazon integrates advertisements and links to Amazon’s German website – Amazon.de – on this website, which allows us to generate revenue in the form of reimbursement of advertising costs. Amazon uses cookies in this program in order to determine the origin of orders placed. This allows Amazon to determine that you have clicked on the partner link on this website.
The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the correct calculation of the operator’s affiliate compensation. If a respective declaration of consent (e.g. consent to cookie archiving) has been obtained, the data will be processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDDPR. Such consent can be revoked at any time.
