Plug-ins and other
Using Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.

Use of social plug-ins by means of “Shariff
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website. To keep you in control of your data, we use the privacy-safe “Shariff” buttons.
Without your express consent, no links are established to the servers of the social networks and consequently no data is transmitted.
“Shariff” is a development of the specialists of the computer magazine c’t. It allows more privacy on the web and replaces the usual “share” buttons of social networks. More information about the Shariff project can be found here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html (https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html).
When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after this active login by you, a direct connection to the social networks is established.
By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. Among other things, your IP address and the 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 collected information will also be associated with your respective profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. Social networks named below are integrated by means of the “Shariff” function.
For more 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, please refer to the linked data protection notices of the providers.

Use of social plug-ins by means of the “2-click solution
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website by means of the “2-click solution”. In doing so, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
In the case of the standard integration of plug-ins, when you call up 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 providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. 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 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. To keep you in control of your data, we have decided to disable the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent – in the form of activating the button – no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button, the button becomes active (highlighted) 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. Among other things, your IP address and the 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 collected information will also be associated with your respective profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
Social networks named below are integrated by means of the “2-click function”.
