Usage of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use website script and font libraries, such as Google Web Fonts ( https://www.google.com/webfonts ).

If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or restricts access, the content is being displayed in standard font.
  • When loading script or font libraries, an automatic connection to the operator of the libraries is being established. Theoretically there is a possibility that the operator may collect data. We currently have no knowledge if and for what purpose the operators of the corresponding libraries are actually collecting data.
