Google Web Fonts
In order to ensure that fonts are displayed consistently, this website uses “web fonts” supplied by Google. When accessing the site, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.
In order to do this, your browser must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google will be informed that your IP address was used to access this website. The use of Google web fonts is justified by article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
PoINT Software & Systems GmbH has a legitimate interest in displaying fonts consistently on its website. To the extent that consent is required (e.g. acceptance of cookies), data is processed exclusively in line with article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font stored on your computer will be used. For more information on Google web fonts, see:
https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s data protection declaration: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Use of ajax.googleapis.com / jQuery
Auf unseren Internetseiten verwenden wir die Javascript-Bibliothek jQuery. Um die Ladegeschwindigkeit unserer Website zu erhöhen und Ihnen damit eine bessere Benutzererfahrung zukommen zu lassen, verwenden wir das CDN (content delivery network) von Google um diese Bibliothek zu laden. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist sehr groß, dass sie jQuery bereits auf einer anderen Seite vom Google CDN verwendet haben. In dem Fall kann Ihr Browser auf die im Cache gespeicherte Kopie zurückgreifen und sie muss nicht noch einmal heruntergeladen werden. Sollte Ihr Browser keine Kopie im Cache gespeichert haben oder aus einem anderen Grund die Datei vom Google CDN herunter laden, so werden wiederum Daten von Ihrem Browser an Google Inc. (“Google”) übertragen. Weitere Informationen über die Datenverarbeitung durch Google entnehmen Sie bitte den Datenschutzhinweisen von Google, derzeit abrufbar unter: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
