6. YouTube Videos (External Content)

This website embeds YouTube videos from Google LLC. These are processed on specific post pages.

Two-Click Implementation (Privacy by Design):YouTube videos are NOT loaded automatically. They first appear as placeholder images (thumbnails hosted on our own servers) with a play button. Only when you actively click "Load video" does the connection to YouTube/Google occur. This ensures no data is transmitted to Google until you consent.

Data Transfer: When you click to load a video, Google/YouTube may process:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser and device information
  • Date and time of access
  • Your interactions with the video (if logged in with Google)

Privacy-Friendly Variant:We use youtube-nocookie.com, a more privacy-friendly YouTube domain that avoids setting tracking cookies.

Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent via explicit opt-in; you choose to load each video).

Data Protection Contact: Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited, seeGoogle's Privacy Policy
