2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

We use external service providers for hosting our website and for the fast delivery of content. Each time the website is accessed, these services automatically collect information transmitted by your browser (e.g., IP address, browser type, time of request). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

We use cookies on our website. Some of them are technically essential for the operation of the site (e.g., for the donation form or saving your cookie preferences). We only use other cookies (e.g., for marketing and tracking) if you have explicitly given us your consent via our cookie banner.

Essential Cookies: The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and § 25 para. 2 TTDSG.

Cookies Requiring Consent: The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. You can revoke your consent at any time for the future by adjusting your cookie settings in the banner.

When you sign up for our newsletter, we use the double opt-in process. This means that after signing up, you will receive an email with a link that you must click to confirm your registration. Only then will your email address be added to our mailing list. This protects both us and you from the misuse of your data. We use the service provider Mailchimp to send and manage our newsletter. Your email address and any other data provided during registration are transferred to Mailchimp's servers and stored there.

6. Tracking and Marketing: Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel)

If you have explicitly given us your consent in the cookie banner, we use the "Meta Pixel" from the social network Facebook. The pixel enables Meta to identify visitors to our website as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads") and allows us to track the effectiveness of our ads for statistical purposes (conversion tracking).

Provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Legal Basis: Your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Revocation: You can revoke your consent at any time via our cookie settings. You can also adjust what types of advertisements are shown to you within your Facebook account settings.

7. Embedded Content from Third Parties

We embed external content on our website. This establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective providers.

YouTube (Two-Click Solution) We embed videos from the YouTube platform. To protect your data in the best possible way, we use a two-click solution. Videos are blocked by default and are only loaded when you actively click on the preview image. Only by clicking do you give your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) that data (such as your IP address) is transmitted to YouTube.

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
