Privacy protection by Shariff

Using Shariff, we protect the privacy of our visitors from the unwanted curiosity of social networks such as Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. Nevertheless, one click is enough for our visitors to share our page with friends if desired.

The usual social media buttons transmit the data of the visitors with each page visit to social networks such as Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, and give the social networks accurate information about your surfing behavior (user tracking). You do not have to be logged or be a member of the network. In contrast, a Shariff button does not create direct contact between a social network and the visitor until you actively click on the share button as a visitor. Shariff thereby prevents you from leaving a digital trail on every page you visit and improves privacy. More information about Shariff can be found at https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.
