Our website uses plugins from the social network provider Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.
These plugins allow direct interaction with content on the social network.

This integration ensures that when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is made to the servers of the provider.
Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. Regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, certain information about your used end device (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history will be transmitted to the provider and possibly processed there.
If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out through the plugins will also be published there and shown to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, the revocation has no effect on data that has already been transferred to the provider.
Data can also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
