Use of social plugins
Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here: Link
In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plug-ins are integrated into the page using a so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution. This integration ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains such plug-ins, no connection is established with the Facebook servers. Only when you activate the plug-in and thereby give your consent to the data transfer does your browser establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the respective plug-in is sent directly to your browser and integrated into the page. The plug-in then transmits data (including your IP address) to Facebook. We have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects using the plug-ins. To the best of our knowledge, Facebook receives information about which of our websites you have currently and previously accessed. By integrating the plug-in, Facebook also receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the "Like" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your contacts there.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at: Link
If you are a member of the Facebook social network and would like to limit the collection of data via our websites and the merging of your user data with the data about you stored on the Facebook social network, you should log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins in the future with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" ( Link ).
The seller's website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") from the social network Pinterest, which is operated by Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103, USA ("Pinterest"). The plugins are marked with a Pinterest logo (e.g. "Pin it" button). An overview of the Pinterest plugins and their appearance can be found here: Link
If you visit a seller's page that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Pinterest's servers. The plugin transmits so-called log data to Pinterest's servers in the USA. This log data may contain the IP address, the address of the websites visited that have Pinterest functions, the type and settings of the browser, the date and time of the request, your use of Pinterest and cookies. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by pressing the "Pin it" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Pinterest server and stored there. The information is also published on Pinterest and displayed there on your Pinterest account.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Pinterest as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Pinterest's privacy policy: Link
If you do not want Pinterest to collect your data via our websites and possibly combine it with your user data on Pinterest, you should log out of Pinterest before visiting our website.

Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from the online service Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. An overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance can be found here: Link
If you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Instagram to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged into Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Instagram Camera" button, this information is also sent directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Instagram as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Instagram's privacy policy: Link
If you do not want Instagram to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

Facebook Custom Audiences
As part of usage-based online advertising, the Custom Audiences product from Facebook (Facebook Custom Audiences1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA, 94304) is also used on the website. Basically, a non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) is generated from your usage data, which can be sent to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. A Facebook cookie is set. Information about your activities on the website (e.g. surfing behavior, subpages visited, etc.) is recorded. Your IP address is stored and used to geographically target advertising.

Facebook Remarketing
AIMÉ BERLIN uses the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") on the website. Using this function, the provider can target website visitors with advertising by displaying personalized, interest-based Facebook ads for website visitors when they visit the social network Facebook. To implement the function, the Facebook remarketing tag is implemented on the provider's website.
This tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit the website. This sends the Facebook server information about which of our websites you have visited. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. You can find more information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy at Link . If you do not want Facebook to assign the collected information directly to your Facebook user account, you can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.
