Social media toolsOur website uses plugins and other social media tools provided by social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, and LinkedIn.
When you view our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the social media platform administrators (service providers). The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the service provider to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, the service providers receive information that your browser is displaying our page, even if you do not have a profile with the service provider or are not logged in to it at the time. This information (along with your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to the server of the service provider (some servers are located in the United States) and stored there.
If you are logged in to one of the social media platforms, the service provider will be able to directly assign your visit to our page to your profile on that social media platform.
If you use a given plugin, for example by clicking on the "Like" or "Share" button, the appropriate information will also be sent directly to the server of the service provider and stored there.
In addition, this information will be published on the given social media platform and will be visible to people added as your contacts. The purpose and scope of data collection and their further processing and use by service providers, as well as the possibility of contact and your rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings that ensure the protection of your privacy have been described in the privacy policy of the individual service providers.
If you do not want social media platforms to assign the data collected during your visit to our website directly to your profile on that platform, you must log out of that platform before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of plugins on the page by using appropriate extensions for your browser, such as script blocking.
