Our website is equipped with a YouTube plugin. As soon as you visit pages equipped with YouTube plugin, a connection to a YouTube server is established. This server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you're logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile.
