Embedded YouTube-Videos

We embed YouTube-Videos into the CPT website. When you visit a website via the YouTube-plugin a connection is made to a third-party server. This server will receive information about the webpages you visit. If you are signed in to your YouTube account then YouTube can attribute your browsing behavior to your personal profile.  

When a YouTube-Video is played, then the provider employs cookies to collect information about your user behavior.

Further information concerning the purpose and the scope of the data storage and processing policies employed by YouTube and Google can be found in their own data protection statements. They also contain information regarding your rights and setting options to protect your privacy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Google may process your data in third-party countries.

The provision of your personal data occurs with your consent on a voluntary basis. However your access to certain features of the website may be restricted if these data are not provided.

Changes to our data privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt our data privacy policy e.g. when introducing additional services. When you return to our website our new data privacy policy will apply.
