In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 Point f of the GDPR, we use social plug-ins for Facebook on our website to publicise the Wilhelm Fricke Group. The promotional aims behind this are considered a legitimate interest according to the GDPR. The responsibility for operation in accordance with privacy policies lies with the individual providers.
1. Social media plug-ins for Facebook are used on our website to make your visit more personal. These include the ‘LIKE’ and ‘SHARE’ buttons and the Facebook pixel (Facebook functions).
If you visit one of our pages containing a plug-in or pixel, your browser creates a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The plug-in content is transferred from Facebook directly to your browser and integrated in the website.
By integrating plug-ins, Facebook receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page from our online offering, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transferred from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. A cookie is normally placed on your device and used to collect information about your interests using pseudonyms. This information is then used when you visit our partners’ websites to generate advertisements for our offerings that are tailored to your interests. No personal data are saved, and no usage profiles containing personal data are attributed to you.
If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can attribute the visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the ‘LIKE’ or ‘SHARE’ buttons, this information is also transferred directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be posted on Facebook and shared with your Facebook friends.
Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and demand-based design of Facebook pages (also known as retargeting). To this end, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the ads you see on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users of your activity on our website, and to provide further services connected with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to attribute the data collected via our web pages to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, deletion and unauthorised access by third parties. We continuously improve our security measures in line with technological developments.
