It may happen that within our online offer contents or services of third party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites are integrated. The integration of content from third party providers always requires that the third party providers are aware of the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. Furthermore, the provi-ders of the third-party content may set their own cookies and process the users’ data for their own purposes. User profiles may be created from the processed data. We will use this content as sparingly as possible and only to the extent needed and will select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.
