Google Web Fonts
Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required Google Web Fonts into the browser cache in order to display the fonts of the texts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts occurs in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your device as a substitute. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s data protection declaration at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. The legal basis for the use of Google Web Fonts is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR

Google Maps may set cookies, in particular to save preferred browser settings. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Cookies do not cause any damage and do not contain viruses. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
