Only if you activate a respective plug-in by clicking on the corresponding button will a direct connection to the provider’s server be established (consent). As soon as you activate the plug-in, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited our site with your current IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can connect your visit ton our website pages to your user account.
Activating a plug-in constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6. Para. 1 a) of the EU GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

When you leave our website, the social media plug-ins are deactivated again and the cookies are deleted. The social media plug-ins must be reactivated each time you visit our website.
