### Plug-ins and Miscellaneous
#### Use of Social Plug-ins via "Shariff"
We use social media plug-ins on our website. To ensure that you have control over your data, we use the privacy-friendly "Shariff" buttons.
Without your explicit consent, no connections are made to the servers of social networks, and consequently, no data is transmitted.
"Shariff" is a development of the specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables 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).
When you click the buttons, a pop-up window appears where you can log in with your data to the respective provider. Only after this active login by you is a direct connection to the social networks established.
By logging in, you consent to the transmission of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be associated with your respective profiles. You can prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The following named social networks are integrated using the "Shariff" function.

#### Use of Social Plug-ins via the "2-Click Solution"
We use social media plug-ins on our website via the "2-click solution". Without your explicit consent, no connections are made to the servers of social networks, and consequently, no data is transmitted.
When plug-ins are integrated by default, when you visit pages of our website containing such a plug-in, a connection is made between your computer and the servers of the providers of the social network, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. In doing so, 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 the social network or logged in. Transmission also occurs for non-registered or non-logged-in users. Additionally, if you are logged into the Facebook social network, this information is associated with your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., by pressing 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 that you have control over your data, we have chosen 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 server of the social network 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 server of the social network is established. By activating it, you consent to the transmission of your data to the respective provider of the social network. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be associated with your respective profiles. You can prevent this association by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The following named social networks are integrated using the "2-click function".
