Use of social plug-ins via "Shariff"

We use social network plug-ins on our website. We use the privacy-safe "Shariff" button so that you retain control of your data.

No links to the servers of the social networks will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted without your express consent.

"Shariff" is a development by the specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the web and replaces the usual "Share" buttons on social networks. More information on the Shariff project can be found here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html .

If you click on the button, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.

By logging in, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. Here, among other things, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the “Shariff” function.

You can find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy in the linked data protection notices of the providers.

Use of social plug-ins using the "2-click solution"

We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections to the servers of the social networks will be established without your express consent and consequently no data will be transmitted.

With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you visit the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider and the plug-in is activated by a message to your browser shown on the page. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control of your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the greyed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the server of the social network will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.

Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.

By activating you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Here, among other things, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function".
