2.4 Social plugins
So-called social plugins ("plugins") from social networks can be used on our website. In our case we use them for the integration of Facebook and Youtube.


2.4.1 Facebook
When you visit one of our websites that contains a plugin from the provider "Facebook", your Internet browser establishes a connection to the Facebook servers and the information that you have visited our website is forwarded to Facebook, even if you are not logged in to Facebook and regardless of whether you actually activate the plugin, i.e. click on it.

The responsibilities are divided as follows:
- facebook.com: Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA
- facebook.com: Facebook Ireland Limited, Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland

If you are logged into Facebook via your user account while visiting our website, Facebook can assign the call to our website to your user account.
If you click the "Like" button, this is transmitted to Facebook and stored there, especially to share the "Like" information with your Facebook friends.
The same happens if you use the "Tell a friend", "Share" or "Share with friends" functions.
We cannot influence the type and scope of the data transmitted to Facebook. Nor do we know in detail which of your data is transmitted to Facebook and for what purpose Facebook uses this data. In any case, your IP address is transmitted, as well as, according to Facebook's own information, information about the visited website, the date and time of the visit and other browser-related information.

If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour. If you have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to expect such cookies when watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.
