Only after this activation will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves via the social plugins or through their use.
We have no influence over which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers attempt to store cookies on the device being used.
