This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to your previous website visits.

If you want to avoid this, you should log out of the respective social network or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, registration information that can be used to directly identify you will be deleted. This allows you to use our social media presence without your user ID being revealed. When you access interactive functions of the site (like, comment, share, news, etc.), a login screen appears. After you have logged in, you will again be recognizable as a specific user for the social network you are using.
