to collect information about user behaviour. According to information provided by “YouTube”,
cookies are also used to collect video statistics which improve user-friendliness and prevent fraudulent
actions. If you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account if you click on

evaluates the same. Such evaluation is carried out particularly according to Art. 6, Para. 1, lit. f of the

processing activities without any influence on our part.
