Social Media Plug-ins
Our website uses social media plug-ins for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to publicise our company and improve our reach. These plug-ins are initially blocked by the Shariff process, which means they do not gather or transmit any data. The first click activates the button; the desired action (e.g. ‘Like’) is only taken after the second click.
The instant you activate the data transfer with the first click, data is automatically transmitted to the relevant platform, regardless of whether or not you have an account or whether or not you are logged in. So only click a button if you consent to the data transfer. The platforms also use the data for their own purposes such as advertising, market research, and the needs-based design of their own sites. To this end each provider draws up their own usage, interest and relationship profiles, and we have no influence whatsoever over any of it. So if you do not want these platforms to collect data about you, do not activate the buttons.
Please refer to the relevant privacy policies:
