2. What third-party services do we use?
On our websites, we incorporate social plugins from popular social networks like Instagram, Facebook,
Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Here’s how they work:
When you visit our websites, social media plugins are initially deactivated. This means no
information is transmitted to the network operators. If you want to use any of these networks,
simply click on the respective plugin to establish a direct connection to their servers.
If you’re logged into your user account on a social network when you activate the plugin, the
network can recognize your visit to our websites and associate it with your account. To prevent this,
please log out of the network before activating the social plugin. The social network cannot detect
your visits to other websites of ours unless you activate its social plugin on those sites too.
When you activate a social plugin, the network directly transfers the available content to your
browser, which integrates it into our websites. During this process, data transfers controlled by the
respective social network may occur. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers
between the network and your system, and your interactions on the platform are governed solely
by the network’s data protection provisions.
The social plugin remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies. For more information
about cookies setting, please read our Cookie Policy.
Please note that our website may feature links to external websites beyond our control, and this Privacy
Policy does not apply to them. If you access these websites through the provided links, the operators of
those websites may collect information from you according to their own privacy policies, which may differ
from ours.
