Other Privacy-Related Topics Beyond Cookies

YouTube

In some areas of our website (e.g., tutorials), we embed YouTube videos using iFrames. For this embedding, we use the privacy-friendly domain youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com, which means that YouTube does not set any cookies when the page itself is loaded. Regardless of this, it cannot be technically ruled out that a connection to YouTube’s servers (Google Ireland Limited) may be established when loading video thumbnails, during which your IP address is transmitted. This data transfer is beyond our control. For this reason, YouTube videos on our site are only displayed after you have given your explicit consent. The video is loaded and played only after you have given your consent via the corresponding consent notice; without this consent, the embedded video remains hidden. For more information on how user data is handled, please see YouTube’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
