This always requires that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as “thirdparty providers”) obtain knowledge of the user’s IP address, since without the IP address they could not transfer the contents to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus required to display these contents. We endeavour to only use contents whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of transferring the contents.

When a user accesses a web page of this offer that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transferred by Facebook directly to the user’s browser and integrated into the website.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can match the visit to his Facebook account.

If a user is not a member of Facebook, Facebook may nevertheless obtain knowledge of and store his IP address. According to Facebook, only masked IP addresses are stored in Germany.
