The underlying advertising purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest in terms of the GDPR.

The integration of these plug-ins is performed by us using the so-called two-click method so as to protect visitors of our website in the best possible manner.
Our website uses social media plugins from Facebook to personalize their use. For this we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” buttons. This is an offer provided by Facebook.
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 pressing the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
If you do not wish to have Facebook associate the information collected through our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Twitter “tweet button” while logged into your Twitter account, you can link the contents of our pages on your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to associate the visit to our site with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the website, we are not aware of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Twitter.

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. Instagram transfers the content of the plugin directly to your browser and integrates it into the page. This integration informs Instagram that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged into Instagram.
This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there.

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which we will implement without your specifying a particular reason.
