Google Fonts

Our website uses the Google Fonts API. This is a piece of software provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, («Google») that helps us ensure an accurate presentation of our website and reduce Internet traffic.

When a page is requested, the browser loads the required fonts into the browser’s cache to display text correctly. For this purpose, a connection to Google’s servers must be established. This may also involve the transfer of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in third countries, including the United States of America. Therefore, Google may gain knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. According to the information provided by Google, however, no cookies are stored and the Google Fonts API runs separately from other Google services.

Further information on the Google Fonts API can be found on https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/ and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

We use the Google Fonts API in the interest of a uniform and accurate presentation of our website.
