Social Media
YouTube
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal provided by YouTube LLC , 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA , hereinafter referred to as "YouTube." YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC , 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA , hereinafter referred to as "Google."
Service provider
The company providing the Service in the European Economic Area and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law (registration number: 368047) with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (referred to as "YouTube," "we," "us," or "our"). References in these Terms of Use to YouTube's "affiliates" refer to the companies of the Alphabet Inc. group of companies as defined in Sections 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
We use YouTube in conjunction with the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" feature to display videos to you. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR . Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.
According to YouTube, the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function ensures that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video. Without this "Enhanced Privacy Mode", a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you visit one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded. This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will record and process at least your IP address, the date and time, and the website you visited. A connection to the Google "DoubleClick" advertising network is also established. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube assigns the connection information to your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For functionality and to analyze user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing cookies from being saved by adjusting your internet browser settings. Further information on this can be found above under "Cookies." Google provides further information on the collection and use of data, as well as your related rights and protection options, in its privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy .
We use the "Pinterest" platform to inform you about certain DIY craft materials, yarn, and creative accessories from our product portfolio via so-called "pins" on our pinboards. The following information also serves as a privacy policy for our online presence there.

The following data is transmitted, among others:
For visitors who are not logged in/registered on Facebook:
IP address: Facebook automatically determines the user’s IP address when accessing a fan page.
Cookies: When you visit our fan page, technically necessary cookies from Facebook are automatically placed on your IT system. Currently, we are only aware of the so-called datr cookie. According to Facebook, this cookie is used to identify the web browser that establishes the connection to the Facebook page and plays a key role in protecting the social network from "malicious activity." The datr cookie is valid for two years but can be deleted via the browser settings.
For visitors who are registered and logged in to Facebook:
IP address: Facebook also determines the user’s IP address for logged-in visitors (see above)
Cookies: In this case, Facebook also sets a datr cookie (see above). If you are a Facebook member and are logged in to your Facebook profile when you visit our fan page, the c_user cookie will also be set. Facebook links your visit to the company page to your personal user account. This allows Facebook to track your user behavior.
The use of cookies on Facebook products is beyond our control. The number and description of cookies mentioned above reflect our current knowledge.
- Advertising, analysis, creation of personalized advertising
- Creation of user profiles
- Market research
- to improve their own products
- to develop new products
When you visit our Facebook fan page, Facebook automatically stores information that your browser transmits to Facebook in a log file. We expressly point out that we have no knowledge of the scope and content of the data collected by Facebook, nor of its processing and use, or of its possible transmission to third parties by Facebook.
Furthermore, Facebook provides fan page operators with the "Facebook Insights" tool, which allows them to retrieve statistical information (= non-personal data) about the use of their pages. This includes, for example, the total number of page views and "likes," page activity, post interactions, video views, post reach, comments, shared content, replies, proportion of men and women, country and city of origin, language, and possibly other information.
If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you through our fan page and link it to your member data stored on Facebook, you must:
- log out of Facebook before visiting our fan page,
- then delete the cookies present on the device
- and close and restart your browser.
In this way, all Facebook information that can be used to identify you will be deleted, according to Facebook.
You can assert your data subject rights under the GDPR primarily with Facebook Ireland or with us. According to the ECJ ruling, the fan page is operated as a joint controller between Facebook and us under Article 26 of the GDPR (see Page Controller Addendum at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum ). You must be logged in to Facebook to view the content of the link.
Facebook is primarily responsible for processing Insights data under the GDPR , and Facebook complies with all GDPR obligations with regard to the processing of Insights data. More information about Insights data can be found at the following link ( https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data ).
Only Facebook Ireland makes and implements decisions regarding the processing of Insights data. We do not make decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR , including the legal basis, identity of the controller, and storage duration of cookies on user devices.
According to our current knowledge, Insights data is normally anonymized and summarized in statistics, so that no natural person can be identified. We do not require a legal basis to process this type of data. However, in exceptional cases, it may happen that a person is directly or indirectly identifiable. In this case, we process the Insights data provided to us by Facebook in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR (based on our overriding legitimate interest). The purpose of the processing is to make the Facebook fan page more attractive for our users.
