5. analysis tools and social media
Google Analytics
We do NOT use Google Analytics!
Sharing content via social media (Facebook, Twitter, Xing & Co.) – Shariff method
Social media plugins usually mean that every visitor to a page is immediately recorded by these services with their IP address and their further browsing behavior is logged. This can happen even if you do not press the button.
To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Our social media buttons only establish direct contact between the social network and you when you click on the respective share button. If the user is logged in to one of the social networks, an information window appears when using the social buttons of Facebook, Twitter, Xing & Co. in which the user can confirm the text before sending it.
Our users can share the content of this site on social networks in compliance with data protection regulations without complete surfing profiles being created by the network operators. Further information on c’t Shariff can be found at https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.
Our social media presence
Data processing by social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presence is designed to ensure the most comprehensive online presence possible. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Responsible party and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can exercise your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both vis-à-vis the data controller and the data processor. us as well as towards the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that, despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

Clicking on affiliate links/advertising links will take you to the respective providers, where the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective providers apply.

The assignment of affiliate links to the respective business transactions or other actions (e.g. purchases) serves the sole purpose of commission settlement and will be canceled as soon as it is no longer required for this purpose.
For the purposes of the aforementioned assignment of affiliate links, certain values can be added to the affiliate links, which are part of the link or can be stored elsewhere, e.g. in a cookie. The values may include, in particular, the source website (referrer), the time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, the type of link used, the type of offer and an online identifier of the user.
