Youtube
We have integrated YouTube videos into our online presence that are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and that can be played directly from our website.

If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data are mapped directly to your account. If you do not want your profile to be mapped to the plug-in provider, you must log out before activating the button.
The plug-in provider stores these data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or website design tailored to market needs. Such an evaluation takes place (even for users who have not logged on) in particular to develop advertising based on market needs informing other users in the social network about your activities on our website. You are entitled to the right of objection to the formation of this user profile. To exercise it, you must address the particular plug-in provider.
