Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to collate reports on website activities for us, and to provide other services in connection with this website and internet use.

This function plays back YouTube videos in an HTML iframe on the website. In doing so, it activates the option “Enhanced data protection mode”. This means that YouTube cannot store any information on visitors to the website. Not until you actually watch a video will this information be transmitted to YouTube and stored there.
