Cookies are small data files that allow a website to collect and store a variety of data on your desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device. Cookies help us provide important features and functionality on our websites and mobile apps, and we use them to improve your customer experience. Please also note our separate Cookie notice.

7. Social Plugins

Our websites or mobile apps may contain social media features such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Pinterest, which have their own privacy notices.

We use the following plugin on our website: Facebook. If you do not want social networks to collect data about you via the active plugin, you can select the “Block third-party cookies” function in your browser settings. Then the browser does not send any cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. With this setting, however, other cross-site functions may no longer work apart from the plugin.

If this plugin is activated, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as you call up a website on our website. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the social network to your browser, which integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugin, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into the social network, this can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugin, for example by clicking the Facebook “Like” button or by making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the social network and stored there. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective networks or websites. The links to this can be found below.

Even if you are not logged in to the social networks, data can be sent to the networks from websites with active social plugins. An active plugin sets a cookie with an identifier each time the website is accessed. Since your browser sends this cookie with every connection to a network server without being asked, the network could in principle use it to create a profile of which websites the user belonging to the ID has accessed. And it would then also be possible to assign this identifier to a person again later – for example when logging on to the social network later.

Integration of Facebook social plugins
Social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”), are integrated into our website.

With the help of the buttons it is possible to share a post or page of this website on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.

When a user calls up a website on this website that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection to the Twitter servers. The content of the Twitter button is transmitted directly from Twitter to the user’s browser.
