Outbrain

We use the technology of the provider Outbrain UK Ltd, Outbrain UK Limited, 5 New Bridge Street, London, EC4V 6JAUK. With the help of a so-called widget, users are referred to further content within our website and on third-party websites that may also be of interest to you. The content displayed in the Outbrain widget is automatically controlled and delivered by Outbrain in terms of content and technology. The reading recommendations usually integrated below an article are determined on the basis of the content previously read by the user. For the display of this interest-related further content, Outbrain uses cookies that are stored on the end device or in the user’s browser. Outbrain collects the source of the device, the browser type and the user’s IP address, the last octet of which is deleted to make it anonymous. Outbrain assigns a so-called Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), which can identify the user on a device-related basis when he visits a website on which the Outbrain widget is implemented. Outbrain creates user profiles in which user interactions (e.g. page views and clicks) of a browser or terminal device are aggregated in order to derive the preferences of the UUID.

The duration of the storage depends on the specifications of the operators of outbrain. Further information can be found here: http://www.outbrain.com/de/legal/privacy

The legal basis for the data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

You can object to the tracking for the display of interest-based recommendations by outbrain at any time; to do so, click on the “Reject” (Opt-Out) field under the privacy policy of outbrain, available at http://www.outbrain.com/de/legal/privacy. Here you can also obtain further information on the data protection of Outbrain UK Ltd. The opt-out only applies to the device used by you in each case and also loses its validity if you delete your cookies.
