Social media plug-ins Facebook

Our website uses social media plugins from Facebook to personalize your experience. We use the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button for this purpose. This is a service offered by Facebook.

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The plugin's content is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website.

By integrating these plugins, Facebook receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. This information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.

Facebook may use this information for advertising, market research, and to tailor the design of its pages to user needs. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest, and relationship profiles, for example, to evaluate your use of our website in relation to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
