Use of social media plugins from Facebook

This website uses the Facebook social plugin, which is operated by Facebook Inc. The integrations can be recognised by the Facebook logo or the terms "Like", "Like", "Share" in the Facebook colours (blue and white).

Facebook Inc. complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers. The website operator has no influence whatsoever on the nature and scope of the data that the plugin transmits to the Facebook Inc. servers. You can find information on this here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084

The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you as a user have visited this website. There is a possibility that your IP address will be saved. If you are logged into your Facebook account during your visit to this website, this information will be linked to it.

If you use the functions of the plugin - for example by sharing or "liking" a post - the corresponding information will also be transmitted to Facebook Inc.

If you wish to prevent Facebook. Inc. from linking this data to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting this website and delete the stored cookies.
