Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website.

  • When you access script or font libraries, we automatically connect to the library operator. There is a theoretical possibility that this operator may collect data. Currently it is not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the respective libraries actually collect data.
  • You can find the privacy policy of the Google Library operator here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy

Revocation of your Consent to Data Processing

YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
