By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or if you are currently not logged into Facebook. This information (including your IP address) will be sent by your browser to and stored by Facebook on a server in the United States. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly allocate the visit of our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by activating the “LIKE” or “SAHRE” button, the corresponding information is likewise directly transferred to and stored on a server of Facebook. The information will moreover be published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook can use this information for purposes of advertising and market research and needs-based design of the Facebook sites. For this purpose, Facebook creates profiles regarding usage, interests and relationships, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide further related service with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our internet website and to link this with your Facebook account, you need to log off from Facebook before accessing our website.

Twitter receives information that you have accessed our website with your IP address.
