Shariff sharing features

We use the privacy-protected “Shariff” buttons. “Shariff” is designed to allow more privacy on the network and to replace the usual “share” buttons on social networks. In this case, not the user’s browser but the server on which this online offer is located establishes a connection to the server of the respective social media platforms and asks, for example, the number of likes, etc. The user remains anonymous. More information about the Shariff project can be found at the developers of c’t magazine: www.ct.de.
