The operator uses so-called "embedded" social media plugins (interfaces to social networks) on the website.

The data transmission happens without the intervention and outside the responsibility of the operator . The user can prevent this data transmission by logging out of the respective social networks before visiting the website. Only in the "logged in" state, the social network can assign specific data to the user's activity profile through automatic data transfer.

The automatically transmitted data is used exclusively by the operators of the social networks and not by the operator of this website. Further information can be found directly on the website of the corresponding social network. The privacy settings can also be changed here.
