Social Media Buttons
Social media buttons are integrated on my website to make it easier to share content on various social media platforms. A stylesheet from Font Awesome (provided via Cloudflare) is loaded to display the icons. This transmits the visitor's IP address to the server. These buttons are simple links to the respective platforms and do not transmit any data to the providers unless you click on them. When you click a social media button, you will be redirected to the respective platform, which may then collect data such as your IP address or information about the page you visited.
Please note that I have no control over the data collection and processing of the social networks. You can find more information in the privacy policies of the respective providers:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not want these networks to collect data about you, I recommend logging out of the corresponding accounts beforehand or not using the social media buttons.

Usage of Google Analytics:
On my website, I utilize Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"), to track and analyze how users interact with my Service.

Through this, the server receives information about which of my web pages you have visited. Additionally, the IP address of the browser of the visitor's end device is saved by Google.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
