Plug-ins and other stuff

Using Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.
This app manages JavaScript tags and HTML tags, which are used to implement tracking and analysis tools in particular. The purpose of data processing is to design and optimize our website in line with user needs.
Google Tag Manager itself does not store cookies or process personal data. However, it enables the triggering of additional tags that can collect and process personal data.
You can find more information on terms of use and data protection here.

Use of social plug-ins via “Shariff”
We use social network plug-ins on our website. To ensure that you retain control over your data, we use the data protection-secure “Shariff” buttons.
Without your express consent, no links to the social network servers are established and, consequently, no data is transmitted.
“Shariff” was developed by the specialists at the computer magazine c’t. It enables greater privacy on the internet and replaces the usual “share” buttons of social networks. You can find more information about the Shariff project here 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 with your data at the respective provider. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be 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 information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated using the “Shariff” function.
For more information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked privacy policies of the providers.
