Use of social plug-ins by means of the "2-click solution".
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website by means of the "2-click solution". In this case, no connections are established to the servers of the social networks without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you call up the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by informing your browser. In this process, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for non-registered or non-logged-in users. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order for you to retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognise this by the greyed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in colour) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating it, you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Among other things, your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated by means of the "2-click function".
