However, it can trigger other tags that may collect and process personal data. For more information about terms of use and data protection, please see here.

 
Use of Social Plugins
Social Plug-ins We use social network plug-ins on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the resulting data processing serves the purpose of optimizing advertising for our products. When social plug-ins are integrated, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser, provided that you have expressly consented to it. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you visited are transmitted to the provider’s servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Even for users who are not registered or logged in, data may be transmitted. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be associated with your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., by clicking a button), this information is also associated with your user account. You can prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before its withdrawal. The social networks listed below are integrated on our website via social plug-ins.

Use of Social Plug-ins via “Shariff” We use social network plug-ins on our website. To ensure that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe “Shariff” buttons. Without your explicit consent, no connection is established with the servers of the social networks and thus no data is transmitted. “Shariff” is a development by the specialists at the computer magazine c’t. It provides greater privacy on the internet and replaces the typical “Share” buttons of social networks. More information about the Shariff project can be found here: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html. When you click the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider using your credentials. Only after this active login is a direct connection to the social networks established. By logging in, you give your consent for your data to be transferred to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you visited. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social media accounts, the collected information may also be linked to your respective profiles. You can prevent this linkage by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated via the “Shariff” function. Further information on the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the privacy policies of the respective providers.


Use of Social Plug-ins via the “2-Click Solution
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution." Without your explicit consent, no connections are made to the servers of the social networks and, as a result, no data is transmitted. With standard plug-in integration, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a connection is automatically established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers, and the plug-in is displayed on the site via your browser. In doing so, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This happens regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Even for users who are not registered or logged in, data can be transmitted. If you are also logged into the social network (e.g., Facebook), this information may be linked to your personal user account. If you use plug-in functions (such as clicking a button), this information will also be associated with your user account. You can prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before using the plug-in. To give you control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding buttons. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. No connection to the social network servers will be established without your explicit consent – in the form of activating the button – and consequently, no data will be transmitted. Only after you activate the button does it become active (visually highlighted), and a direct connection to the social network’s servers is established. By activating the button, you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously logged into one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information may also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The following social networks are integrated on our website using the “2-click solution.” For more information on the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked privacy policies of the providers.
