YouTube
This site uses the YouTube embedding feature to display and play videos from “YouTube”, which is owned by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
In this case, the extended privacy mode is used, which according to the provider information will start storing user information only when playing the video. When the playback of embedded YouTube videos starts, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to “YouTube” hints, these are used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive practices. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish such an assignment with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even of users not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. According to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, such an evaluation is based on the legitimate interests of Google in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or tailor-made design of its website. You have a right to object to the creation of those user profiles, and you must address to YouTube to use it.
