  • If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – with the exception of its storage – may be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

When you visit one of these websites on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to match your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in advanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in advanced privacy mode are not used to personalize your browsing experience on YouTube. Ads displayed in advanced privacy mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in enhanced data protection mode. Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which, similar to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition. You can find more details about the enhanced privacy mode here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

It is possible that further data processing operations may be triggered after the activation of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
