When you access our website, your browser loads the required fonts from Adobe into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts quickly and consistently. Once downloaded, the Adobe Fonts are cached in the browser and reused by any other website that uses the Adobe Fonts API. When loading the website, your browser establishes a connection to Adobe’s servers and transmits your IP address and your browser and device data to Adobe. When this happens, Adobe receives the information that you have accessed our website and logs the records of the CSS and font requests. If your browser does not support the fonts used, one of your computer’s standard fonts may be used instead. We use Adobe Fonts for a uniform and appealing presentation of our website and to improve the performance, maintainability and accessibility of our website.

Third country transfer: When consenting to the use of Adobe, this also includes consenting to a possible transfer of data to the US. The US is classified by the European Court of Justice as a country without an adequate level of data protection and without appropriate safeguards according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your personal data may be processed by US authorities for monitoring and surveillance purposes, possibly without the possibility of a legal remedy to prevent access to the data or to establish the illegality of the access. In addition, there can be no assurance that your rights as a data subject can be fully implemented and that supervisory authorities in the US will take appropriate remedial action. Using Adobe involves such data transfers to third countries. If you do not wish to consent to your data being transferred to a third country, then you must disable Adobe.

Plug-ins from the streaming platform “YouTube.de” or “YouTube.com” are integrated into our website, making it possible to play videos directly on our website. When the streaming feature is used, information is also processed which is stored on users’ devices. The purpose of this data processing is to integrate visual content (“videos”) on the website that we have published on “YouTube.de”/”YouTube.com”. The videos are embedded in “extended privacy mode”, which means that no data about users will be transferred to YouTube if they do not play the videos. When videos are played on our website, YouTube receives the information that the corresponding page of our website has been retrieved. Additionally, access data – in particular the IP address, browser information, the website visited before, and the date and time of the server request – is transmitted to Google. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that users are logged in with or whether no user account exists. If users are logged in to Google, the user data will be directly associated with the corresponding YouTube account. YouTube stores the data in the form of usage profiles and processes it, for statistical analysis and online advertising purposes, regardless of whether the user has a Google account.

“Matomo” is open-source software that enables statistical evaluations on our website, especially regarding visitor numbers, page views, downloads and websites visited previously, and for measuring the success of entries in search engines. The analysed information and statistics are processed exclusively on our own web servers and in our databases. The “Matomo” tool uses technologies such as tracking pixels and fingerprinting to record, ana-lyse and categorise the information generated by the user’s device about the use of our website and interactions with our website as well as access data – in particular the IP address, browser information, the website visited previously, and the date and time of the server request – for the purpose of statistical analysis and measuring the reach of ads in search engines. We use “Matomo” with the “AnonymizeIP” extension, which means that IP addresses are shortened before processing them further in order to make it more difficult to identify individuals.
