    Some of our third-party advertisers use their own anonymous cookies to track how many people have seen a particular ad, or to track how many people have seen it more than once. The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and we have no access to these cookies. These third-party ad cookies may be used by those third parties to anonymously target advertising to you on other websites, based on your visit to our website.

    Social Media Personal Data Processing

    Cookies

    We use plug-ins of the social networks Facebook Connect, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube to enable our website users to easily share content found on our website and connect with their friends via such social networks. Whenever you view a page of our website containing such plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers operated by provider of the social network. As a result, the content of the social plug-in is transferred by the network provider directly to your browser and embedded in our website being shown. If you visit our website whilst signed into your social network user account, information concerning your visit will be transferred to the network provider and the provider of the social network can assign your visit to our website to your account with the social network. Please note that a data transfer is triggered already when you visit our website, irrespective whether you interact with the plug-in. To prevent this, you must log out of your social network account before visiting our website.

    The legal basis for processing social media cookies is your consent, as per applicable data privacy laws. We place social media cookies only with your permission.

    Applicable to users in the EU: when the data is processed outside the EU or EEA in this context, including by the Social media partners below, please note that there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. If we use providers in unsafe third countries and you give us your consent, any transfer to a third country is based on Art. 49 (1a) GDPR.

    Social Media Pages

    In addition to the provider of the social media platform (platform provider) are jointly responsible as data controllers for the processing activities concerning your data. The platform provider in this respect primarily determines the purposes and means of the processing activities, which we can influence only to a limited extent. To the extent that we can exert influence over or set parameters regarding the processing of your data, we will, within our means, take actions to ensure that the platform provider processes your data in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

    We operate the following social media sites:

    Data processing by the provider of the social media platform
