Use of PlugIns Social Networks:

In order to continue to offer you the opportunity to provide feedback to social media regarding our website, we use social media buttons from the shariff project of c’t Computerzeitung.

In particular, the usual share buttons will be replaced by the following providers:

  • Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA)
  • Twitter (Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St., Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA)

  • Xing (XING AG, Gänsemarkt 43, 20354 Hamburg, Germany)
  • LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland)

The following text was taken directly from the c’t website on 27.11.2014
https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html), to explain how the Shariff plug-ins work:
“The usual social media buttons transfer the user data to Facebook & Co. for every page view and provide the social networks with exact information about their surfing behavior (user tracking). You do not have to be logged in to be a member of the network. On the other hand, a Shariff button does not establish direct contact between social network and visitors until the latter actively clicks on the share button.

This way, Shariff prevents you from leaving a digital trail on every page you visit and improves privacy. Then you can like, + 1en or tweet – the social network does not get more information.
Thanks to Shariff, the display of “Likes” comes from the operator of the page with the buttons. Because Shariff is involved by the webmaster, you do not have to do anything else as a visitor. “
