9. This website uses a so-called social media plug-in from the booking service AddThis, provided by AddThis LLC, Inc. 8000 Westpark Drive, Suite 625, McLean, VA 2210, USA („AddThis“). The plug-in can be recognised by the AddThis-Logo which is a white plus on an orange background.

When you visit a page that contains such a plug-in, your web browser will connect to the AddThis server and retrieve the content for the plug-in to display. As such, AddThis will receive the information that your browser visited the page and will save this information in a cookie. AddThis uses this information to create anonymous user profiles, that form the basis of personal recommendations for the AddThis plug-in to display.
