Social media elements with Shariff
This website offers links to social media (e. g. Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest…).

If you are logged in to your respective social media account (e. g. Facebook) at the time, the respective provider may associate your visit to this website with your user account.

If you are logged in to your own YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing the videos. However, your data will not be transferred to YouTube unless and until you click on one of the embedded video thumbnails (privacy and consent mechanism).

Like cookies, these can include personalized data and be used for identification purposes. For details on the Enhanced Privacy Mode, please see: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
Under certain circumstances, additional data transfers may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

However, Google Maps will not be activated unless you click on the embedded thumbnail as a user. Clicking on this thumbnail will redirect you to a new tab in which the corresponding Google Map will be opened. Your personal data will thus not be collected and transferred to Google unless and until you click on a Google Map thumbnail (privacy and consent mechanism).
