Social media plugins are used on our websites. These plugins may be used to send information, which may also include personal data, to the service provider and may be used by him. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider by a 2-click solution.

Only when the plugin is activated, the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider is triggered. We ourselves do not collect any personal data via the social plugins or their use.
We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how this data is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established and at least the IP address and device-related information is collected and used. It is also possible that the service provider will attempt to store cookies on the computer used.
