In our Internet presence we use so called “social media plugins” of the social networks Facebook, Google+, the micro blogging provider Twitter and Instagram. These services are provided by the companies Facebook Inc., Google Inc., Twitter Inc. and Instagram LLC. (“provider”)

 

 

  • Google+ operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter“Google”) An overview of Google+ plugins and how they look find here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/

 

 

All these plug-ins are each identified with the corresponding social network’s logo.

6.2 Data transfer by social plug-ins

If a user registered and currently logged into a social network accesses a MS Lichttechnik GmbH website that contains such a plug-in, the user’s browser uses cookies placed by the social network and the plug-in on the www.lightspares.com and www.licht-service.at to create a direct link to the social network’s servers. Social networks may also use the plug-in to recognise that a logged user is at one of our sites without the plug-in being clicked.

By integrating the plug-in, the operator of the social network obtains the information that the user has accessed the corresponding MS Lichttechnik GmbH site. If the user interacts with social plug-ins, the corresponding information is communicated directly from his browser to the operator of the social network and stored there.
