This plugin connects directly to the Owner’s profile on Facebook’s server. Facebook may then obtain information that the User has visited the website from their IP address.
If the User visits the website while being logged into their Facebook profile, Facebook will record information about the visit. Even if the User is not logged into Facebook, Facebook is able to obtain information about the IP address.
Facebook does not provide the Owner with information about the collected data or the manner in which it is used. The purpose and scope of data collected by Facebook are not known to the Owner. For more information regarding privacy on Facebook, the User should contact Facebook directly or consult the privacy policy of the portal at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If the User does not want Facebook to be able to obtain information regarding browsing the website, it is advisable that the User logs out of their Facebook account beforehand.

The plugins allow Users of these platforms to link the website in their posts published on these social media platforms.
The plugins connect directly to the Owner’s profile on the server of the given social network. This portal may then obtain information that the User has visited the website from their IP address.
When the User visits the profile, the social network administrator uses cookies and other similar technologies to monitor the behaviour and actions taken by the User. This information is collected, among other things, for the purpose of creating so-called page statistics.
The statistics contain only anonymised statistical data about Users visiting the profile and it is not possible to link them to a specific person. The Owner does not have access to the personal data used by social networks to prepare, among others, page statistics.
Thanks to the statistics generated by the social network, the Owner has information on how Users use the Owner’s profile and which of the published content is most popular. With this information, the Owner can optimise their profiles by better tailoring published content to the interests and behaviour of Users. The entity responsible for processing Users’ data for the purpose of generating page statistics is the administrator of each of the aforementioned social networks. Consequently, the administrators are obliged to inform Users about all matters related to the processing of personal data for the purpose of creating page statistics and about the possibility of exercising data protection rights under applicable law.
