Social networks
We have integrated plug-ins of the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Google+ on this website.
When you visit our site, the plug-in creates a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook will be informed that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like button” while you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate the visit of our website with your user account.
By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function, the pages you visit are linked to your Twitter account and shared with other users. This data is also transmitted to Twitter.

The Google +1 button lets you publish information worldwide. Google stores both the information that you clicked +1 for a content, as well as information about the website that you visited. Your +1 can be shown, along with your Google profile name and photo, in various Google services, such as search results, your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and ads on the Internet. Google may publish aggregated statistics on users’ +1 activities, or pass them on to partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or related sites.
