The information collected by the cookie about your visit to this Website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and maintained on a Google server located in the United States of America. Google uses this information to analyze usage of the Website by you and generate reports of your Web activities for the Website provider. These reports allow the provider to improve the quality of its online service and your experience.

You may revoke your consent to prospectively maintain and process your information by clicking the link below and downloading and installing the respective browser plug-in: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please note that our Website uses the ‘_anonymizelp()’ extension from Google Analytics, which means that only short form IP addresses can be used. This eliminates any possibility of direct identification of the person visiting the site.
We have installed plug-ins on our Website that are operated solely by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). You can easily recognize the Facebook logo with ‘Like’ on the button. If you click our Webpage with this logo, your browser will connect directly with the Facebook server, which uses the connection to transmit information on the content of the button to your browser and integrate it into the Website. Moreover, Facebook will be notified that you visited our site. During this visit, if you are logged-in to your personal Facebook account, Facebook can record your visit under your user account and note your interaction, such as the ‘likes’ or comments you make. All this information is transmitted directly to and saved by Facebook. If you do not wish to have such information transmitted, you must log out from your Facebook account before visiting our Website. Please visit http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ for more information on the purpose and scope of Facebook’s Data Use Policy and how Facebook uses and shares the information it receives.
We have installed a ‘Tweet’ button on our Website that is operated by the social network Twitter Inc., 750 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Twitter”). You can recognize the blue bird logo on the button. If you click our Webpage with this logo, your browser will connect directly with the Twitter server, and the content of the Tweet button will be transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into your Tweet. ec4u thus has no control over what information the Tweet button collects. We believe that your IP address will also be recorded. Please visit http://twitter.com/privacy for more information on the purpose and scope of Twitter’s Privacy Policy, how Twitter collects and uses this information, your rights, and how you may protect your privacy by modifying the settings. If you are a registered user of Twitter services and do not wish to have such information transmitted, you must log out from your Twitter account before visiting our Website.
