Social plugins

Facebook

This website uses so-called social plugins of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). They are usually recognizable by the “thumbs up” sign. You can get an overview of Facebook’s social plugins here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins.

When you access this website, a connection is established between your browser and Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. Unfortunately, we therefore have neither influence nor knowledge of the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you select (click on) the plugins, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. Even if you are not a member of Facebook, it is possible that Facebook learns and stores your IP address. According to Facebook, however, in Germany the IP address is only stored anonymously.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, along with information on rights and setting options, can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the “Facebook Blocker” or the “AdBlock Plus” add-on for Firefox. More info on this at http://t3n.de/news/blockierst-facebook-tracking-345091/.
