(3.1) Plugins from the social network Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California, 94025, USA) are integrated on our website. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our website. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: Facebook plugins. When you visit our website, the plug-in establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This enables Facebook to assign your visit to our website to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or of how it is used by Facebook. You can find more information on this in the Facebook data protection declaration under Facebook data protection declaration. If you do not want Facebook to be able to assign your visit to our website to your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

(3.2) This website uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function is used to present interest-related advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) to visitors to this website when they visit the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the Facebook remarketing tag was implemented on this website. A direct connection to the Facebook servers is established via this tag when you visit the website. In doing so, it is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account.

(4) You can use the Google +1 button to publish information worldwide. You and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners via the Google +1 button. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a piece of content and information about the page that you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be shown as a hint together with your profile name and your photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet. Google records information about your +1 activities in order to improve Google services for you and others. In order to be able to use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also replace another name that you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or who have other identifying information about you. You can find more information on this in the google + data protection declaration under Google data protection declaration.
