5 Social Plug-Ins

We use social plug-ins based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer as defined in article  6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). The plug-ins we use are listed below:

5.1 LinkedIn

We are using a “follow plugin” of the LinkedIn network, operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, United States. When you enter a website that has a “follow plugin” from LinkedIn, it automatically connects to the LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you use LinkedIn's “follow plugin” and are logged in to your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account.

The latest privacy information on the “follow plugin” and additional information can be found on this website: http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

5.2 Youtube

We use YouTube to provide videos. Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA owns YouTube. We use YouTube plug-ins on some of our websites. A connection to YouTube servers is established whenever you visit one of our Internet web pages that are equipped with this type of plug-in—our media library, for example. This connection will communicate to the YouTube server which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. This information is assigned to your user account whenever you use a plug-in, such as whenever you click on a video’s start button. You can prevent this association by logging out of your YouTube user account and other user accounts associated with YouTube LLC and Google Inc. before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from those companies.
