Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to present our contents correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or does not allow access, content will be displayed in a default font.

• Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In theory, it is possible - but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.
• The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here.

St. Alban’s regularly reviews its Privacy Policy to ensure that it accords with best practices. Any revised versions of the Privacy Policy will be made available on our website, or hard copies can be obtained at the Club.
