Social media plug-ins
Our website features social media plug-ins from the following providers:
The plug-ins are represented by the logos of these providers on pages on the website.

As a result, the provider receives information on which pages you visit.
We cannot influence which data are sent to the social media provider in question. The data are always transmitted, even if you do not click on a plug-in.

When comments or “Likes” are recorded via the plug-in, this information is transmitted to the social media provider and linked with your account with that provider.
If you do not wish such actions to be linked to your account, you need to log out of your social media account before clicking on plug-in functions, or block the plug-in on your device by means of suitable software (e.g. Addon).
Please note that in respect of social media plug-ins, the privacy notices of the providers stated above also apply.
