Which social media links do we use?
Our website uses the following links to social media:
Our website uses links to “Instagram”. Instagram is operated by Facebook, 1601 Willow Rd, 94025 Menlo Park, United States or, if the service is made available in the European Union (EU), Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. The links are marked with the Instagram logo, for example, in the form of an “Instagram camera”. Moreover, links to Instagram are integrated into call-to-action (CTA) buttons in highlight boxes.
If you activate the links by clicking on them, information that you have accessed certain pages of our website is forwarded to the servers of Instagram/Facebook. As a result, usage data of users who are logged into Instagram/Facebook at the same time is associated with their respective personal accounts. If you click on the links, this information is transmitted directly from your browser to the servers of Instagram/Facebook, where it is stored. Even if you are not a member of the aforementioned social networks, there is still a possibility that Instagram/Facebook will identify and store your IP address. If you want to prevent Instagram/Facebook from being able to associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account, you must log out of your Instagram account before visiting our website.
We use Instagram links based on our overriding private interests. In this case, our interests are the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering. If consent to retrieve and store cookies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by clicking on the corresponding cookie settings.

If you activate a plug-in by clicking on it, a connection to the servers of YouTube is established and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. Information about the websites you visited is then transmitted to the servers of YouTube. If you are logged in as a YouTube or Google member, YouTube associates this information with your personal user accounts on these platforms. When using these links, e.g. by clicking on them, starting a video or submitting a comment, this information is associated with e.g. your YouTube user account. You can prevent this from happening by logging out before using the link in question. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the United States. Insofar as personal data is processed in the United States, we would like to point out that Google has undertaken to comply with European data protection legislation, e.g. by signing the EU standard contractual clauses and other measures.
