Social Media Plugins

Our pages integrate plugins of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. You can recognize the plugins by the respective logos or the “Like” buttons (“Gefällt mir”) on our website.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective network and stored there.

If you are logged in to one of these services, the networks can directly associate your visit to our website with your social profile on Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like”, “Tweet”, etc. button, the respective information is also transmitted directly to a server of the network and stored there. The information is also published in the social network and shown to your contacts there.

If you do not want social networks to associate your visit to our pages with your user accounts, please log out of the respective user accounts. Data protection settings and privacy policies of the respective plugins can be found on their websites.

You can also completely prevent the plugins from loading by using add-ons for your browser.
