Use of social plug-ins via "Shariff"
We use social network plug-ins on our website. To ensure you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-friendly "Shariff" buttons.
Without your explicit consent, no connections to the servers of the social networks will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
"Shariff" is a development by the specialists at the computer magazine c’t. It enables more privacy online and replaces the usual "Share" buttons of social networks. You can find more information about the Shariff project here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.
When you click the buttons, a pop-up window will appear where you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after you actively log in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.
By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. In this process, your IP address as well as information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted, among other things. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
For more information about the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked privacy notices of the providers.


Facebook of Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) https://www.facebook.com/policy.php
Your data may be transferred to the USA if necessary. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer is carried out, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum.


Instagram of Instagram LLC. (1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA) https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388
Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer is carried out, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de.

Use of social plug-ins via the "2-click solution"
We use social network plug-ins on our website via the "2-click solution". This means that no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted without your explicit consent.
When plug-ins are integrated by default, accessing pages of our website that contain such a plug-in establishes a connection between your computer and the servers of the social network providers, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the providers' servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also occurs for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information will be associated with your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., by pressing the button), this information is also associated with your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. To ensure you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your explicit consent—in the form of activating the button—no connection to the social network's server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the switch does the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. In this process, among other things, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are simultaneously logged in to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function." For more information about the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked privacy notices of the providers.
