The tool we use is based on the technology of Snowplow Analytics. The data we collect regarding the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are visited. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is only used by our web hosting provider and service provider to improve our own offering.

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in any browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are cached in your browser so they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content will be displayed in a default font.

• When you access script or font libraries, a connection to the library operator is automatically set up. It is theoretically possible that this operator may collect data. At present, 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 at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

It can happen that within our pages third party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are aware of the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as we are aware of this, we inform the users about it.
