We use YouTube in connection with the "Enhanced Privacy mode" function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit.f) GDPR.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
