Use of Instagram plug-ins
This website uses plug-ins from the online service Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). When you call up pages of our website that are provided with such a plug-in, a connection is established to the Instagram servers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by informing your browser. This transmits to the Instagram servers both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram assigns this information to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. clicking the "Instagram" button), this information is also assigned to your Instagram account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. If you do not want Instagram to assign the collected information directly to your Instagram account, you must either log out of Instagram before visiting our website or block the loading of the Instagram plug-in on our website by using an add-on, e.g. the script blocker "NoScript" (noscript.net) for your browser.
For more information on the collection and use of data by Instagram, your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Instagram's privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388.
