2.10 Social plug-ins

You may activate each plug-in by clicking on the appropriate button (known as the Shariff solution).
If you have activated a plug-in, your browser will form a direct connection to the server of the respective social platform as soon as you access the operator's website. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by from the social platform directly to your browser and integrated by it into the operator`s website.
Integration of the plug-in means that the social network receives the information that you have accessed the respective page of the operator. If you are logged in to the social network, the network can associate your visit to your account. If you interact with the plug-ins, the corresponding information is transmitted by your browser directly to the social network and stored there.

If you do not want the social network to collect data about you via the operator's website, you must log out of this network prior to visiting the operator`s website or deactivate the social plug-ins.
Even if you do not have an account with the social network, websites with active social plug-ins can send data to these networks. When a plug-in is active, each visit of the website places a cookie with a unique identifier. Because your browser sends this these cookies without being asked, each time there is a connection with a network server, in principle the network can generate a profile about which websites the user associated with the identifier has visited. This means that it is also entirely possible that this identifier is also attributed to a person who subsequently registers for an account with that social network.
