Use of social plug-ins via "Shariff"
We use social network plug-ins on our website. We use the privacy-safe "Shariff" button so that you retain control of your data.
No links to the servers of the social networks will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted without your express consent.
"Shariff" is a development by the specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the web and replaces the usual "share" buttons on social networks. More information on the Shariff project can be found here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html .

Use of social plug-ins using the "2-click solution"
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections to the servers of the social networks will be established without your express consent and consequently no data will be transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you visit the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider and the plug-in is activated by a message to your browser shown on the page. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing 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 of your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the greyed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the server of the social network will be established and consequently 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 servers of the social network is established.
By activating you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Here, among other things, both your IP address and 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 assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

Use of social plug-ins
Our website uses social network plug-ins. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing associated with this serves the purpose of optimizing the advertising for our products.
The integration of social plug-ins involves a connection between your computer and the servers of the service provider of the social network which then instructs your web browser to display the plug-in on that web page, provided you have expressly consented to this. In this process, both your IP address as well as the information on which web pages you have visited will be transmitted to the provider's servers. This happens regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. The information is transferred even if users are not registered or logged in. Should you be connected simultaneously with one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected may also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (eg by pressing the appropriate button), this information will also be assigned to your user account. You can therefore prevent this assignment by logging yourself out before visiting our website and before activating the button for your social media accounts.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Use of social plug-ins using the "2-click solution"
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections to the servers of the social networks will be established without your express consent and consequently no data will be transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you visit the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider and the plug-in is activated by a message to your browser shown on the page. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing 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 of your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the greyed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the server of the social network will be established and consequently 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 servers of the social network is established.
By activating you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Here, among other things, both your IP address and 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 assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

plugins
Use of social plug-ins
Our website uses social network plug-ins. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing associated with this serves the purpose of optimizing the advertising for our products.
The integration of social plug-ins involves a connection between your computer and the servers of the service provider of the social network which then instructs your web browser to display the plug-in on that web page, provided you have expressly consented to this. In this process, both your IP address as well as the information on which web pages you have visited will be transmitted to the provider's servers. This happens regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. The information is transferred even if users are not registered or logged in. Should you be connected simultaneously with one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected may also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (eg by pressing the appropriate button), this information will also be assigned to your user account. You can therefore prevent this assignment by logging yourself out before visiting our website and before activating the button for your social media accounts.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Use of social plugins via “Shariff”
Our website uses social network plug-ins. We use data protection-compliant “Shariff” buttons to ensure that you retain control over your data. No connection is made to the social network servers and no data submitted without your explicit consent. "Shariff" was developed by specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more personal privacy in the network and replaces the usual social network "share" buttons.

Use of social plugins via the “2-click solution”
Our website uses social network plug-ins via the “2-click solution”. No connection is made to the social network servers and no data submitted without your explicit consent.Standard integration of plug-ins set up a connection between your computer and the provider's servers when you call up pages on our website which contain such a plugin, allowing the plug-in to be shown on the web page by a notice sent to your browser. Both your IP address and the fact that you have visited our web pages are transmitted to the provider's servers. This happens regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. The information is transferred even if users are not registered or logged in. If you are also logged into the social network, this information is also assigned to your user profile.
