5. Social plugins

Our Internet pages use social plugins, e.g. from Facebook or Instagram. The plugins are marked with the logo of the provider and can be Like buttons, for example. When you call up our Internet pages that contain such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the provider's computers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the offering site directly to your browser and integrated by it into the Internet page. By integrating the plugins, the provider receives the information that you have accessed our Internet page. If you are logged in to the provider at the same time, the provider can assign the visit to your profile. If you interact with the plugins - for example, by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment - the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the provider and stored there. If you do not want the provider to collect data about you via our website, you must log out of the provider before visiting our website. Even when logged out, the providers collect data anonymously via the social plugins and set you a cookie. This data can be assigned to your profile if you log in to the provider at a later time. By using such login services, you consent to the transfer of data. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing of your data by the provider, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the privacy notices of the providers. If you do not want the providers to collect data about you via these cookies, you can select the "Block third-party cookies" function in your browser settings. Then the browser will not send cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. With this setting, other functions of our Internet site may also no longer work.
