Facebook

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer), we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA or for EU users – by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can represent elements of interaction or content (e.g. Videos, graphics or text inserts) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, term “Like”, “Like” or “Thumbs up” marks) or are marked with the addition “Facebook social plug-in”. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here.

When a user uses functions on a website that contains such a plug-in, the device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s device and incorporated into the online offer. In this process, user profiles can be created from processed data. We have no influence on the amount of data collected by Facebook with the help of the plugin, so we inform users about how they work according to our knowledge.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plug-ins, for example by using the Like button or a function that allows you to leave a comment, the information is sent from the device directly to Facebook and stored there. If the user is not a Facebook member, there is still the possibility that Facebook will obtain an IP address.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and options for setting the protection of user privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy.

If a user is a member of Facebook and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this website and link it to the user data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete the cookies before using our website. Further changes to the settings regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible in the settings of the Facebook profile. The settings are adapted to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

We use a “user action pixel” called “Facebook pixel”, i.e. a service provided by Facebook on our website. With its help, we can track the actions of users after they have viewed or clicked on an advertisement on Facebook. This allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook advertising, which we use for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, these data are stored and processed by Facebook, about which we inform you according to our knowledge. Facebook may combine this data with its Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s data use policy. You can prevent Facebook and its affiliates from showing you ads on and off Facebook.

This consent can only be given by users over the age of 16. If you are younger, please ask your guardians to express it.
