The respective social network sets a cookie with an identifier each time you access the website, which is valid for two years. Since your browser automatically sends this cookie every time you connect to a server, the social network in question would be able to create a profile of the Internet pages called up by the user belonging to the identifier. If you are logged into the respective social network at the same time, the corresponding social network can assign the profile to your account and thus to your person. However, even if you are not logged in to the respective social network at the time of using our website, such an assignment – for example, when you log in to the respective social network later – is not excluded.
