Share on social networks

Only when you actively click on the respective button yourself will your web browser connect to the servers of the social network, i.e. clicking on elements then clicking on the social network’s icon indicates your consent to your browser connecting to the servers of the social network and sending usage data to that social network operator, whether or not you are a subscriber of such social network.
We have no influence over the nature or scope of data that social networks may then gather. For information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing and use of data by social networks and regarding your data privacy rights and relevant configuration settings, see the social networks’ respective data privacy advisories.
