Thereby data will be transferred to that social media network. Notice that we, as the provider of this website, have no knowledge about the content of the transferred data and its usage by the social network and that you should read the privacy policy of each network to determine your own level of comfort.
Plugins from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and others are integrated into [GCMS website name] via which cookies may be installed. If you visit a page of [GCMS website name], this causes direct connections to the servers of the respective networks to be set up.
