Facebook and other social media buttons

myswissjourney.ch uses social plugins from various platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. The provider and operator of the plug-in are the corresponding platforms.

The plugins are always marked with the logo of the platform. When you call up a page on which a button is available, the browser establishes a connection to a server on the platform. The social plugin is sent to the browser and then displayed within the page. myswissjourney.ch itself has no direct influence on the content of the plugin.

The platforms can then track the retrieval of a myswissjourney.ch page and, if you are registered and logged in on Facebook, Twitter, etc., assign this retrieval to the user account. If you click the “Like” button, this information is also sent to the social media platform and processed.

How the social media platforms deal with this data and what options are available for managing privacy can be found in the platforms' data protection guidelines.
