Use of Social Plugins via the "2-Click Solution" 
We use social network plugins on our website via the "2-click solution." This means that no connection to the social network servers is established and consequently no data is transmitted without your explicit consent.
With standard plugin integration, when you access pages on our website that contain such a plugin, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plugin is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Data is also transmitted for unregistered or logged-out users. Furthermore, if you are logged into the Facebook social network, this information will be associated with your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g., by clicking the button), this information is also associated with your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. To ensure you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your explicit consent—in the form of activating the button—no connection to the social network's server is established, and consequently, no data is transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does it become active (highlighted in color), and a direct connection to the social network's servers is established.
By activating the button, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously logged into one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social network accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks listed below are integrated using the "2-click function." Further information on the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your related rights and options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the linked privacy policies of the providers.
