YouTube
YouTube is an Internet video portal of YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

If you are logged in, Google can assign this data to your account. If you do not want this, you must log out of Google before using the YouTube videos. You must object to the use of your data directly to Google.
The information generated about your use of this website (e.g. IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can find more information about terms of use and data protection at Privacy & Terms – Google.

Webanalyse with Matomo (formerly Piwik)
Scope of processing of personal data:
We use the software “Matomo” on this website (www.matomo.org), a service of InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis Street, Wellington, New Zealand. The software places a cookie (text file) on your computer to recognize your browser. When you visit a subpage of our website, the following data is stored:
- IP address of the user, shortened by the last two bytes (anonymous)
- subpage accessed and time of access
- the page that the user visits on our website (referrer)
- which browser, plug-in, operating system and screen resolution should be used
- length of time spent on the website
- pages accessed from the subpages visited
The data collected by Matomo is stored on our own servers. No transfer to third parties.
Legal basis:
Our legal basis for processing personal data with Matomo is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Purpose of data processing:
We need this data to analyze the surfing behavior of users and to obtain information about the use of various components of the website. This enables us to continuously optimize the website and its user-friendliness. Our legitimate interest lies in these purposes within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, we take into account the interest of users in protecting their personal data. This data is never used to personally identify the visitor to this website and is not merged with other data.
Duration of data storage:
The data is deleted when it is no longer required for our purposes.
Objection:
You can object to the data collection described above in three different ways:
- You can completely block the storage of cookies in your browser. However, this means that you may not be able to use certain functions of our website that require authentication (shopping cart, ordering, personal settings, etc.)
- You can activate the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser. Our Matomo system is configured to take this setting into account.
- You can then set a so-called opt-out cookie with a mouse click, which is valid for two years. Therefore, Matomo will not register your further visits. Please note, however, that if you delete all cookies, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted.

They take precautions to ensure the security of their personal data. Your data is carefully protected against loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation, unauthorized access or unauthorized disclosure.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
