For the purposes of a uniform illustration of fonts, this site uses what are known as web fonts which are made available by Google. When a site is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts in your browser cache in order to show texts and fonts correctly.
To this end, the browser you are using has to establish communication with the Google server. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website was called up via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is for the purpose of a uniform and attractive representation of our on-line offer. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1f GDPR.
