This platform uses social plugins ("plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are recognisable by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are identifiable by the addition "Facebook social plugin". A list of the Facebook social plugins, and their appearance, can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When a user visits on this platform a website containing such plugin, the user's browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in will be transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and be integrated into the website by your browser. Therefore, the provider has no influence over the scope of the data collected by Facebook using this plugin, and informs the users commensurate with its level of knowledge.
As a result of the integration of these plugins, Facebook is informed that a user has visited the corresponding website on the platform. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can link his visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the "Like" button or making a comment, the information concerned is transmitted by their browser directly to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a Facebook member, Facebook may still find out and store the user's IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.
For information on the purpose and scope of the gathering of data by Facebook and on the further processing and use of data by Facebook, and for information on the users' rights in this connection and the setting options for the protection of the users' privacy, users can refer to Facebook's Data Privacy Notice at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data concerning him via this platform and to combine this data with his membership data stored with Facebook, he must log off from Facebook before he visits the Internet platform.
Likewise, it is possible to block Facebook social plugins by means of add-ons for your browser, e.g. by means of the "Facebook Blocker"

The datr cookie is valid for two years, but can be deleted via the browser settings.
Cookies: In this case too, a datr cookie is placed (see above). If you are a Facebook member and are logged on with your Facebook profile at the same time as you visit our fan page, the c_user cookie will be additionally activated. Facebook will link the fan page visit to your personal user account. This will enable Facebook to track your user behaviour.
