Plug-ins and Other Items
Use of Social Plug-ins
We use social network plug-ins on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing that takes place in connection therewith serves the purpose of optimizing advertising for our products.
When social plug-ins are integrated, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plug-in is displayed on the page via a notification to your browser, provided you have expressly consented to this. 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. This transmission also occurs for users who are not registered or logged in. If you are simultaneously logged into one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information may also be associated with your corresponding profiles. When you use the plug-in features (e.g., by clicking the button), this information is also associated with your user account. You can prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25(1), sentence 1 of the TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

The social networks listed below are integrated into our website via social plugins. For more information on the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers’ privacy policies linked below.
Use of Social Plug-ins via the “2-Click Solution”
We use social network plug-ins on our website via the “2-Click Solution.” With this method, no connections to the social network servers are established without your express consent, and consequently, no data is transmitted.
With standard plug-in integration, when you visit pages on our website that contain such a plug-in, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plug-in is displayed on the page via a notification sent 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 occurs regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. This transmission also occurs for users who are not registered or logged in. Furthermore, if you are logged into the Facebook social network, this information is associated with your personal user account. When you use the plug-in’s features (e.g., by clicking the button), this information is also associated with your user account; you can prevent this only by logging out before using the plug-in. To ensure you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially disable 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 click the button does it become active (highlighted in color), and a direct connection to the social network’s server is established.
By clicking the button, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. Among other things, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted.

We use the feature on our website that allows us to embed YouTube videos provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “YouTube”). YouTube is an affiliate of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
This feature displays videos hosted on YouTube in an iFrame on the website. The “Enhanced Privacy Mode” option is enabled. As a result, YouTube does not store any information about website visitors. Information about the video is only transmitted to YouTube and stored there once you watch a video. Your data may be transferred to the United States. An adequacy decision by the European Commission is in place for the United States: the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). YouTube has obtained certification under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.
