This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content collect users“ IP addresses, as they would be unable to send the content to users” browsers without them. The IP address is therefore necessary for the content to be displayed. We endeavour to use only content where the respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content.

The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time the links were created. No unlawful content was identifiable at the time the links were created.
