Use of social plug-ins using the “2-click solution”

This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. A transmission also takes place if users are not registered or logged in. If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link will be established to the social network server and therefore no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the social network server is established.
By activating, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. Among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social network user accounts before visiting our website and activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated using the “2-click function”.

If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link will be established to the social network server and therefore no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the social network server is established.
By activating, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. Among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social network user accounts before visiting our website and activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated using the “2-click function”. Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection information of the providers.
