Data are shared with the following third party providers:
Google Fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.  If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Google Fonts FAQ.
Google Analytics
Anonymised data are shared with Google Analytics to help us better understand patterns of behaviour on our website. Google Privacy Policy.

Our site includes maps provided by OpenStreetMap. The index map includes the option to display your location on the map which involves the sending of location data to OpenStreetMap. When the map first loads you have the option not to show your location if desired.
