Google Maps Plugin
We use privacy-safe “Shariff” buttons on the website. “Shariff” was developed by specialists from the computer magazine “ct” to enable more privacy on the internet and to replace the usual “share” buttons used by social networks. A single click on the button is enough to share information with others. Usual social media buttons transmit user data with every page view and give the social networks precise information about your surfing behaviour (user tracking). In contrast, a Shariff button establishes direct contact between the social network and the visitor only when the latter actively clicks on the Share button. More information about the Shariff project can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/help/terms_maps.html.
Sharing buttons
On the website, we use privacy-protected “Shariff” buttons. “Shariff” was developed by specialists from the computer magazine c’t to enable more privacy in the network and replace the usual “share” buttons on social networks. All it takes is a single click on the button to share information with others. Usual social media buttons transmit user data with each page view and give the social networks accurate information about your surfing behavior (user tracking). On the other hand, a Shariff button does not establish direct contact between social network and visitors until the latter actively clicks on the share button.
