Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. Google fonts are an integral part of the JIMDO website platform and are loaded from Google servers. However, JIMDO routes the user's request via its own proxy server, which replaces the IP address of the website visitor with a Jimdo IP address. The visitor's IP address is therefore NOT transmitted to Google's servers. The user's consent is therefore not required for Google Web Fonts

You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faqand in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Font Awesome
This site uses Font Awesome for the uniform display of fonts and symbols. The provider is Fonticons, Inc, 6 Porter Road Apartment 3R, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

When you call up a page, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts, fonts and symbols correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Font Awesome's servers. This gives Font Awesome knowledge that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Font Awesome is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on our website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support Font Awesome, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Google Analytics 4 uses IP anonymization by default, i.e. your IP address is immediately truncated when you interact with this website. Only in rare cases will your full IP be transmitted to a Google server based in the USA and truncated there. Google asserts that the IP transmitted via Google Analytics is never combined with other Google data. Google Analytics 4 is only activated with your consent via the cookie banner and can be revoked at any time via the cookie settings.

The processed data includes: Usage data such as page views, website interaction, general location and visit duration; and Communication data such as truncated IP addresses, user agent, language settings and screen resolution.

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on the visitor's computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the site visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. The extension shortens the IP address of Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
