Social plugins

Our Platform uses social plugins (“plugins”) from different social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest. With the help of these plugins, you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are deactivated by default and therefore do not send any data.

 

By clicking on the “Enable Social Media” button you can activate the plugins. The plugins can of course be deactivated with one click again. When these plugins are enabled, your browser connects directly to the servers of the respective social network as soon as they access any of our Platforms. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the social network to your browser and integrated into it by the Platform.

 

If you do not want social networks to collect data about you through active plugins, you can either disable the social plugins s or choose the option “Block third-party cookies” in your browser settings.
