Social media cookies

The so-called “social media cookies”, such as the “like” or “share” buttons, are linked to services provided by third parties.

You can recognise the social media that use this button via that button, even if you do not use the button while you visit our website. Via this type of button, the social network in question is able to understand your browsing behaviour simply because your account with that particular social network was open on your computer while you were visiting our website.

We have no control over the manner in which social networks collect information about your browsing behaviour via our website or over the personal data they store. To find out what the social networks do with the information they collect via this type of buttons - inter alia in terms of advertising - we refer you to the privacy policy of the social networks in question. Via their privacy policy you can also change the settings of your account with the various social networks.
